My Story

I am.

If we’re going to get one flesh suit for this human ride, my philosophy is let’s take good care of it and do what we can to access the full spectrum of the human experience.

Story

Today I am a Personal Coach committed to living in surrender and using my unique insights to serve others.

I believe that we are not our knowledge, experience, thoughts, emotions, bodies, or identities but that we have these things for a reason – to align with our higher self and discover our most potent mode of service to humanity.

My blend of experience allows me to combine the physical with the spiritual to serve in my own unique way.

In my life I’ve been surrounded by a lot of illness and I watched the medical system disappoint people I love. I was confused by the lack of support and solutions- for them and for me. I knew in my bones there had to be a better way.

My curiosity turned obsession with finding that better way led me through a curriculum rich in natural healing and functional medicine.

I have personally overcome PCOS, pre-diabetes (insulin resistance), chronic fatigue, heavy metal toxicity, and frequent migraines.

I know now that I had to heal my physical body first, in order to access the more subtle parts of myself. Once I was no longer focused on my symptoms, I had the capacity to go deeper and begin to expand beyond what I realized was possible.

Study

I earned a bachelor's and master's degree in Neuroscience from Tulane University in New Orleans, immersed myself in 4 months of traditional African healing and herbalism with South African Sangomas, and followed my body’s wisdom into yoga teacher training, transcendental meditation, and various forms of breathwork.

Managing an integrative medical clinic from its infancy through seven years of growth offered me a crash course in business leadership and strategic development as well as an intensive mentorship in nutritional medicine. Working alongside a brilliant functional medicine physician instilled in me a deep knowledge of a holistic root cause approach to medicine.

My years healing meant many hours studying the art and science of the Menstrual Cycle and an equal amount of time learning from a trial and error approach.

My obsession with growth and inner development has kept me engaged with my own personal coach for more than a decade, turning my entire life into a real time life curriculum.

I became certified by the Dharma Coaching Institute in 2022.

Play

I love connecting with my people. My life is fueled by deep loving connection.

Mother Nature is my playground and her mountains, lakes, oceans, glaciers and deserts bring out my inner child. All the photos you see on this site are from my travels.

I will loudly and confidently sing the wrong lyrics to most songs.

I am passionate about tracking my menstrual cycles and syncing my food, exercise and life actives to the sacred place where the rhythm of my body meets the rhythm of the moon.

I enjoy trying anything new that will expand my comfort zone. Catch me in a pottery studio, on an improv stage or singing in a public choir- scared but happy.

Thrifting furniture is a favorite pastime, even if I’m living nomadically, as I am now. If you need an amazing secondhand couch, I’m your woman.
