ABOUT ME

I am passionate about Lifestyle Medicine, with a particular interest in preparing plant-predominant food; whether creating a hearty dinner, or a scrumptious dessert. 

My journey into this field was jump-started by a traumatic personal health experience. Part of that journey has been constantly learning as much as I can about being well, both mentally and physically. I am particularly passionate about nutrition and supporting those transitioning to, or finding motivation to maintain, a plant-based way of eating.

Aside from being with my family, my favorite places are outdoors or in my kitchen. I have a lifelong passion for learning and supporting others.

I look forward to working with you!

As your coach, my goal is to provide non-judgmental support and accountability for your journey.

To get started:

My coaching practice focuseS on working with individuals who:

  • have a desire to incorporate more plant-forward meals into their daily lives. 

  • have a desire to prepare more home cooked meals.

  • have experienced a health crisis or set-back and have a desire to come back stronger.

Although I have gained vast and varied knowledge about nutrition and food, I am not a nutritionist or dietician. If you require specific guidance in this area, I may recommend you work with a Licensed Nutritionist and/or Registered Dietician as a companion to our work together. These services are often part of no-cost preventive care offered by a health insurance plan.
