I was always a curious kid. And as I matured and grew up, that curious nature never waned. My inquisitive approach to life has led me down many interesting roads of exploration, especially in the areas of science, biology, food, health and spirituality. They remain my passions to this day.
When I was 12 years old, I began to gain weight and didn’t understand why or how it was happening. So, being the curious type, I dug in. I explored and researched, and educated myself. The thrill of the transformation I experienced lit a fire in me that today still burns bright. I took my first nutrition class in my freshman year in college, and at that moment it became crystal clear this was my path.
I love my work so much that I hesitate to even call it work. It’s a passion. And I’m so incredibly grateful and honored to share in others’ transformations to better health and a better life.
Over the years, time and again, I have witnessed the impact of eating well and the power it has on individual’s lives. With each client, I first seek to understand the person – where he or she is in life, the impacting factors and desired goals. Then, together we begin the journey of transformation, one step at a time – and oftentimes it’s the small lifestyle changes that can create big changes in health and vitality.
