I had felt unwell for most of my childhood and into my teenage years, but it had become particularly unbearable around age 18. I endured chronic fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and numerous other debilitating symptoms, including anxiety and depression. After countless visits to my doctor, she finally decided to take a closer look at my gut. The tests revealed severe malnutrition and damage to my small intestines from Celiac Disease that had gone undiagnosed for years. The only advice I received was to “avoid gluten,” with no further explanation or educational resources on managing this autoimmune condition.
Although cutting out gluten provided some relief, I still felt far from fully recovered. My symptoms were less intense but still present, and I lacked crucial knowledge about how celiac disease impacted my physical and mental health. I was determined not to settle for a life of mediocrity. I wanted to genuinely heal and achieve optimal health.
This marked the beginning of a 13-year journey into how nutrition profoundly impacts physical, emotional, and mental well-being. My mission became clear: to help others discover solutions beyond what conventional medicine offers. I am passionate about sharing how I transformed from living with chronic pain and fatigue to living a vibrant life, full of energy and new perspectives. This journey has become my calling and I am dedicated to guiding others on their path to health and wellness.

When I’m not focused on talking about ways to improve one's health through food and lifestyle, you can find me outside in nature. Whether it’s hiking a mountain, rock climbing, snowboarding or simply just wandering in a forest with friends.

I get so much enjoyment from sitting down and listening to my clients. Hearing about their experiences and desires to overcome challenges. Knowing that we are all so different yet often have so much in common. I’m truly so grateful to get to be a part of their journey and be able to provide them with the necessary tools to help guide them through.
