My Story
We practice healthy. Which implies we keep at it!
I also like to focus on adding in healthy rather than focus on what to eliminate. When you add more of what the body needs, you feel better and you want more of it.

My Journey
My journey to become a nutrition and wellness lifestyle mentor began in childhood with a passion for a deeper understanding of a healthy and fit mind and body and the desire to share and help others. In my fast track to married life, motherhood and perfectionism, I became an avid runner - running road races and marathons. I was fit, strengthening my lung capacity, doing and achieving; yet, I had anxiety and stress overload. My path included fitness and nutrition, while yoga deepened my understanding of the power of mindfulness and breath work. When we regulate our central nervous system through meditation, yoga asana, and breathing with conscious awareness, we develop the ability to better manage stress and create peace and wellness. I combine my knowledge of science and fitness with a yogic lifestyle integration for deep understanding between the mind, body, and soul connection and encourage a healthy lifestyle as a practice. Practice implies we keep at it!
You see it is not only about exercise. It is not only about eating well. The emotional, spiritual, psychological exploration all play critical roles to better health.
Blending the science with the spiritual, my journey continues and I strive to enlighten and empower you, my clients, on your path to a healthier, balanced you. Essentially, tapping into what is in your power - your own mind, breath, and how you strengthen, treat, nourish and care for your body.
