MY STORY
A journey
of 30 years lived.
From overweight teenager to functional nutrition coach at 55 — this is not a story of perfection. It's a story of learning to work with your body, not against it.
THE BEGINNING
For more than 30 years, I have dedicated my life to holistic nutrition, functional medicine, strength training, and helping women become healthier from the inside out. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree along with certifications in Functional Nutrition, Functional Medicine Health Coaching, Precision Nutrition, and menopause and hormone health.
My journey started when I was an overweight teenager. At 18, I lost weight using restrictive methods that ultimately led to an unhealthy relationship with food and a fear of gaining weight. For years, I under-ate, obsessively watched the scale, and believed that eating less and cutting carbs was the answer.
Like many women, everything changed when I reached my mid-40s.
THE SHIFT
The low-calorie, low-carb strategies that once seemed to work stopped working. I struggled with my energy, metabolism, and body composition. Instead of continuing to restrict myself, I took a different approach: I nourished my body. I gradually increased my calories from around 1,200 to nearly 1,800 per day, prioritized whole foods, and embraced carbohydrates strategically. The result was transformative—I became leaner, stronger, more energized, and felt younger than I had in years.
That experience changed not only my body but also my philosophy.
WHAT SETS ME APART
What sets me apart is that I don't just teach nutrition—I have lived it. I've spent decades learning from functional medicine practitioners, working within the professional supplement industry, studying nutrition science, and applying these principles to my own life and to the women I coach.
Today, at 55 years old, I understand firsthand the challenges women face during perimenopause and menopause. I know what it's like when the methods that worked in your 20s and 30s suddenly stop working. I also know that healing isn't about starving yourself or following extreme diets.
MY MISSION
My approach focuses on whole, nutrient-dense foods, functional nutrition, strength training, metabolic health, and sustainable lifestyle habits that support healthy aging. I believe food is powerful medicine that can improve energy, body composition, hormone balance, and long-term wellness while helping you feel confident, vibrant, and strong.
My mission is to help women over 40 stop fighting their bodies and start working with them—so they can build a lean, healthy physique, restore their metabolism, age with confidence, and truly thrive from the inside out.
