MY STORY
I am a holistic health and wellness coach based in Los Angeles, CA with a passion to inspire and empower people to lead healthier, more vibrant, balanced, and fulfilled lives.
I know first-hand the power of food and healthy practices as I’ve had to heal my body and mind throughout my life.
Prior to health and wellness becoming my full-time passion and career, I worked in the entertainment industry for over 11 years representing some of the most high-profile and talented actors, directors, producers, and entrepreneurs in the world — many of whom have had a profound impact on my life. I am deeply grateful for the extraordinary life experiences throughout this time and felt that I received all the gifts and lessons from this specific chapter. I began to feel misaligned with this career path and knew in my core it was not going to bring life-long fulfillment. Ultimately my lifestyle at the time (both personally and professionally) had led to extreme fatigue, burnout, anxiety, depression, and sickness.
By the age of 34, I had undergone seven major surgeries in my life, four of which took place between the ages of 25-34. I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (a connective tissue disorder) and told it was very likely I’ll need more surgeries throughout my lifetime, regardless of how well I take care of myself. I’ve also battled severe depression and anxiety, and struggled with acne, weight fluctuation, body dysmorphia, perfectionism, digestive issues, joint pain, and chronic fatigue since I was a teenager.
I have felt broken and completely powerless over my physical, mental, and emotional health, but I was determined to change the trajectory of my life. I decided to view these challenges as opportunities to refocus my priorities and reclaim my health. And I did.
In addition to the team of western medical professionals I was seeing regularly, I experimented with eastern medicine and many other modalities that allowed me to take the power back over my life and my body, and ultimately catapulted me into the career of a coach and wellness enthusiast.
I graduated from the world’s largest nutrition and health coaching school, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), and became a certified health coach, as well as received training in personalized, holistic wellness.
Having personally experienced and educated myself on the life-changing benefits of prioritizing health and wellness in every aspect of my life, my mission is to help people do the same. Let’s do this together.
