My Story
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.
Years ago, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a form of IBD that flipped my world upside down. At the time, I was a high-level beach volleyball athlete, training with a coach daily, lifting weights three times a week, traveling across the country for tournaments, and pushing my body to its limits.
But I wasn’t fueling it properly.
I was drinking mass-gaining shakes, sugary protein powders, and eating out constantly just to keep up with my busy schedule. I didn’t understand how much what I was putting in my body was affecting what I could get out of it.
Even after my diagnosis, I pushed through another full season of competition. That decision cost me. My health hit a breaking point when doctors found precancerous cells in a routine scope. I was told my disease had progressed into severe pancolitis.
That was the wake-up call I couldn’t ignore.
I was forced to take a step back… from volleyball, from competition, from free diving, fishing, and the life I had known and focus fully on healing.
But here’s the truth: I didn’t see my illness as a punishment. I saw it as an invitation. A chance to become the woman I was meant to be.
And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.
I’m still on my own healing journey, and I believe that journey never really ends. Health is not a destination; it’s a lifelong relationship with your body, your mind, and your spirit. Every year, I learn more about myself. Every year, I get stronger, clearer, and more grounded in who I’m becoming.
Through all of this, I’ve learned some powerful truths:
Your body isn’t broken — it was designed to heal.
Your beliefs shape your healing. If you believe you can, you will.
Healing is not linear. Setbacks are information, not failure.
You are stronger than you think.
No one can do this for you — you have to own your path.
There is no perfect timeline. Healing takes as long as it takes.
Today, I feel deeply called to help others who are walking a similar path. Especially those with IBD or other gut issues who are ready to take back their power.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck or dismissed…
If you’re ready to show up for yourself every single day…
If you want to feel better, think clearer, and create real, lasting change…
I’m here for you.
I help my clients not just with food, but with mindset, environment, lifestyle, and inner healing. We work together to build daily habits, release limiting beliefs, and create a toolkit that helps you respond — not collapse when life gets tough.
I believe healing is possible for every single one of us.
We weren’t made to suffer.
You can do this.
We can do this…together.
By the end of our time working together, I want you to feel seen, loved, empowered, and inspired. Because you deserve that.
