​

I am a Mayo Clinic–certified health and wellness coach and herbalist based on California’s Central Coast. I integrate culinary medicine into my work, helping clients use everyday food as a practical tool to support their health and overall well-being. Blending evidence-based coaching with a holistic perspective, I help clients take realistic steps toward long-term health and balance.

​

I am passionate about what I do for very personal reasons: in 2011 my husband became ill with a rare, life-threatening disease. That experience set me on a course to pursue preventative medicine and promote lifestyle choices that strengthen the body, support healing, and build resilience against illness.
