Where Science, Curiosity, and Real Change Meet

I am, at my core, a problem solver, a nurturer, and a guide.

That instinct first led me to earn my Master’s Degree in Speech Pathology and step into traditional healthcare. I loved working with patients. I loved understanding the body. I loved helping people regain their voice — literally and metaphorically.

But over time, I began to see the gaps. The system was treating symptoms, not people. Protocols replaced curiosity. Speed replaced depth. And I knew I could no longer participate in a model that often missed the root cause of suffering.

My years in the hospital setting gave me a strong medical foundation and a deep respect for science — but they also sparked a desire for something more comprehensive, more human.

That search led me to Duke University’s Integrative Medicine program and my first health coach training. I had found my tribe. The passion reignited.

In 2016, I was part of the first cohort in the United States to become a Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach. From there, I continued my education at the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Functional Medicine while completing an additional year-long certification through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. Immersed in a root-cause model of care, it felt like earning another master’s degree — one that changed the trajectory of my life and work.

During my time at the Clinic, I developed and taught a weekly mindfulness course, supported patients through meaningful behavior change, and collaborated with some of the leading minds in functional medicine. It was there that I deepened my understanding of what truly creates lasting change:

Not information.
Not willpower.
But regulation.

Today, I lead a private virtual practice in collaboration with functional medicine physicians and providers across the U.S. and U.K. I work with clients worldwide, supporting them in nervous system reset, sustainable habit change, and restoring vitality at the root.

I believe deeply in practicing what I teach — movement, nourishment, clean living, self-inquiry, and releasing perfectionism. I do not believe in all-or-nothing thinking. I believe in awareness. In flexibility. In resilience.

Life brings stress, setbacks, and seasons of challenge — for me as much as anyone. The tools I use daily to recalibrate and return to balance are the same tools I share with my clients.

One of my guiding principles is simple:

Tiny tweaks create long-lasting change.

True vitality isn’t perfection.
It’s regulation.
It’s adaptability.
It’s having a toolbox you can rely on when life knocks you off course.

I want that for you, too.
