My former career as a designer and project manager left me burnt out, sleeping poorly, and leaning on food to cope with stress. Heart disease and diabetes run in my family, and over the past few years I’ve worked to reverse early warning signs of both. That experience pushed me to leave a career that was harming my health and become a Health Coach in 2020, and I haven’t looked back. I became a patient at PIH in March 2024 and decided it was time to fully invest in myself. I’ve focused on my gut health and adrenals and completed a mold and heavy metal detox. I believe my journey happened so I could help others discover their “why” and make changes that improve their quality of life. As a former couch potato who struggled with anxiety and depression, I know how hard it can be to picture a healthier life, let alone work toward it. I’m here to help you take those steps and build habits that fit your life. At PIH, I also specialize in perimenopause and GLP-1 coaching. For women in perimenopause, I help make sense of shifting energy, sleep, mood, and metabolism, and build routines that support the body through this transition. For patients using GLP-1 medications, I focus on the habits that make results last: getting enough protein, strength training to protect muscle, managing side effects, and creating a sustainable plan for life on and after the medication. Along with my board certification, I hold several NASM certifications: Certified Nutrition Coach, Weight Loss Specialist, Senior Fitness Specialist, and Behavior Change Specialist. My love of learning helps me coach each person based on their specific needs. Outside of work, I love traveling, cooking, baking, fitness, hiking, learning new languages, and anything to do with preventive medicine. I’m also the proud mom of two amazing daughters.
