About

I am a Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Counselor accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP). I received my education from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City where I studied over a hundred different dietary theories from the Blood Type Diet, Macrobiotics and Raw Food to The South Beach Diet, Ayurveda and The Paleolithic Diet. I had the honor of learning from the best: Andew Weil, Michael Pollan, Dr. Walter Willett, John Douillard, and Deepak Chopra to name a few.  I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Saint Lawrence University in 1993.

In addition to health counseling, I also work as a CrossFit Coach with CrossFit Sausalito in northern California. And I recently had the honor of teaching the Growing Great nutrition curriculum to elementary school children at Willow Creek Academy. My most important job however, is that of Mom to two incredible kids.

I had always taken health for granted until my son was born with Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes malformations of the ears, kidneys and branchial arches . As far as conditions are concerned, BOR is one that is very manageable and we are incredibly lucky in that our son has a mild version of it. Thankfully, it is not life altering or life threatening, and my son is a happy, healthy 4 year-old who slays dragons and channels his inner ninja in his free time. His diagnosis was a wake up call however, a call that I gladly took as it was an opportunity for me to take my son's health and the health of my family very seriously.  

My focus now is working with clients who are looking to make positive healthy changes for themselves and their families. I fundamentally believe that the better you take care of yourself, the better you will perform in all aspects of your life and there is no better role than to be a top performing parent.

Before joining the health and wellness industry, I spent years as a television and web producer and dabbled in design. Throughout these roles I honed my project management skills and learned how to weave images and text together to tell a story. 

My role now is to help people understand the various components of wellness, weaving pieces together to create a picture of great health for my clients.
