My Background
A Deeper Look at Why I Do This Work
My story isn't theory - it's lived experience. After years of battling chronic pain, multiple autoimmune diagnoses, fatigue, and brain fog, I reached a point where even the basics of daily life felt overwhelming.
At my lowest, I felt completely disconnected from my body and unsure of what would actually help. Instead of chasing another extreme solution, I chose a different path - focusing on getting just 1% better each day.
That shift changed everything. Through small, consistent changes - like nourishing my body, adding in gentle movement, and learning to listen instead of push - I lost 90 pounds, regained my energy, and rebuilt my life from the inside out.
Now, I help others do the same. My coaching is grounded, realistic, and deeply personal - focused on meeting clients where they are, cutting through the noise, and helping them build a version of health that actually fits their life.
