MY JOURNEY BACK TO BALANCE BEGAN WITH A HEALTH CRISIS
My teen years were fraught with depression I didn't know how to name — let alone treat. A deep perfectionism, a need to constantly prove myself, drove me into the ground. Left untreated, it festered into body dysmorphia, an eating disorder, and ultimately, suicidal ideation.
As an adult, a high-powered career in investment banking gave me new purpose. It also deepened every bad habit I had — coffee over sleep, extreme fitness over nourishment, output over rest. Eventually, my body stopped tolerating it. Years of chronic stress and depletion became IBS, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and a cascade of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
Western medicine had nothing to offer me. I didn't feel heard — so I started searching for my own answers. I immersed myself in nutrition, psychology, and holistic wellness. Slowly, deliberately, I healed: my relationship with food, my approach to movement, my capacity for rest. The inflammatory conditions that had taken over my life began to subside.
That's when I knew. It was time to leave banking and turn toward healing — for good.
WHEN I UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE BODY WAS CAPABLE OF, I KNEW IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE BANKING AND TURN TOWARD HEALING.
NOW I WORK AS A GUIDE FOR WOMEN READY TO DO THE SAME — HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT, THE WAY I DID.
My training spans functional nutrition, holistic health, and behavior change: a master's degree in Holistic Wellness, certification as a Holistic Health Practitioner through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, a Fitness Nutrition and Weight Loss Specialization from the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and clinical work as a Functional Medicine Nutritionist at Rising Health Specialty Clinic in Salt Lake City.
TODAY I'M VIRTUALLY SYMPTOM-FREE AND LIVING THE BEST HEALTH OF MY LIFE — RAISING THREE ENERGETIC BOYS, COOKING REAL FOOD, SPENDING TIME IN NATURE, AND HELPING WOMEN LIKE YOU RECLAIM THEIRS.
