Background
Not feeling your best? I get it. I was sick over a decade, worked with doctors and natural healers to recover my own body from debilitating acute and chronic health challenges. I will preserve with you and guide you to overcome barriers preventing you from feeling your best. No judgment here, just observing, learning and problem solving together in a positive and supportive relationship. Let's find doable changes that lead to long-term health gains and reversal of nutrition related chronic disease states.
Ready to take your physical training to the next level? I can help you incorporate nutrition strategies to increase muscle gains, improve endurance, minimize post-workout recovery time and maximize your injury recovery speed. I was a successful college athlete, winning multiple NCAA All-American titles and a Team USAG National Championship in 1999 with UC Davis Women's Gymnastics Program. I work with athletes from all sprots and all ages, including young kids and teenagers.
Struggling with disorder eating? I did. Years in a leotard and being judged as a gymnast set the stage for distorted body image and an eating disorder mindset resulting in rotating behaviors between over restriction, binge/purge, compulsive exercising. Remission and healing are possible! If you are ready to break-free, I will gently guide you through a healing journey by making supportive plans around triggering foods/situations, separating emotions from food and your worth from body image while slowly moving your thinking and eating habits towards freedom.
