Your Guide to Sustainable Transformation
Finding balance with food and body confidence should not feel impossible. Like many women, I once believed that health meant following strict plans, endless tracking, and chasing perfection.
What I learned through my own journey is that true transformation starts by rebuilding your relationship with food, strengthening your mindset, and focusing on sustainable change, not extremes.
"Confidence starts when you stop fighting your body and start working with it."
My Journey
My path began in the classroom, earning my Bachelor of Science in Public Health from the University of New Mexico. I worked internationally in South Africa, completing clinical research on HIV vaccines and providing nutrition counseling to young girls in the Xhosa community.
I believed I had a strong grasp on health until my time as a bodybuilding competitor showed me a different reality.
Competing for two years pushed me to physical limits, but it also pulled me into disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and a painful cycle of extremes.
Healing from that experience was not fast or easy. It took four years of education, mindset work, and building self-compassion to repair my relationship with food and learn to view nutrition as nourishment, not punishment.
Through that healing, I found my passion not just for personal growth, but for helping other women find freedom and confidence without relying on extreme measures.

Why I Do This Work
I believe nutrition coaching should not make your world smaller. It should make your world bigger. Food should not be something you fear or fight against. It should be something you understand, enjoy, and feel good about.
