About Me

As an overweight teenager and young adult, I was the embodiment of the American diet and lifestyle.  I tried fad diets, always in search of the latest weight loss trends. I tried everything from the Atkins diet to cellophane body wraps to endless cans of Diet Coke and – I’m not proud to confess – diet pills, as early as seventh grade.

 

But then I lost my parents due to health issues, much too early, making me face some of my unhealthy habits and rethink my eating and my lifestyle. I became a student of health, both physically, mentally, and spiritually.

 

Today, I eat an almost entirely vegan, raw, and plant-based diet and this has made all the difference. I LOVE IT!  I teach yoga, workout, ride my bicycle. I’ve studied functional medicine and read countless books on well-being.

 

My passion now is to share this knowledge and encourage people to become their best selves and to find freedom and joy in our mind and bodies – and freedom from the foods and lifestyle that are making Americans so obese and sick.

 

I want to meet you where you are and encourage you to break out of your box and live the life you were meant to live. This is my mission.
