ABOUT ME
THE LONG STORY
My interest in holistic nutrition and wellness started the day I decided to stop listening to everyone else and listen to the signals my own body was sending me. My relationship to food was toxic. I battled bulimia and anorexia in my teens. In my early twenties I developed binge eating disorder, a macro counting obsession and excessive exercise habits. I could take any fitness fad or diet trend and take it to the extreme.
Throughout this time I had all sorts of health dysfunctions like chronic digestive distress, hormonal imbalances, blood sugar dysregulation and rapid weight gain to name a few, but no medical diagnosis could be made. I was desperate for an answer, so I started researching and trying things out. I began following a holistic approach to reduce the amount of stressors firing at my body by eliminating highly inflammatory foods, following a regular sleep schedule, meditation and turning down the exercise intensity.
I immediately noticed my digestion improve and with consistency over time all my other health problems eased up and my body felt balanced. My eating disorders and toxic relationship with food fades and I began to really love food for what it is, a tasty form of energy that lets me do what I love to do and do it well.
I became a personal trainer to motivate people and feel the amazing benefits of routine weight training. I quickly learned that nutrition and lifestyle factors are a massive component for my clients to achieve results, just like they were with myself. I began pursuing multiple certifications to deepen my education and learn more about nutrient bioavailability, chronic inflammation, holistic lifestyle and behavior coaching so I could help my clients kick even more ass.
After graduating the Nutritional Therapy Associate I became Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition through the National Association of Nutrition Professionals. My insatiable love for nutrition and wellness will keep me learning and making sure my clients are getting the most effective information possible.
Throughout my career have seen my clients build the habits to lose weight, go from intensive food tracking to intuitive eating, improve gut health, improve athletic performance and energy levels, balance hormones, get pregnant, relieve SIBO and candida, eliminate emotional eating and yo-yo dieting, cook and meal prep on a regular basis and most importantly, shut up the self limiting beliefs that kept them from starting in the first place.
