As a Culinary Archaeologist, Chef, Certified Nutritionist, and Health Coach, I offer a unique approach to nourishment that bridges spirit and science through mindful , heart-centered practices. My coaching goes beyond traditional nutrition advice: I guide you in discovering an approach to food as a way of life that reflects deep respect for the rituals and wisdom of ancient and indigenous cultures.

At the heart of my practice is the profound understanding that food is medicine. Learning to eat for your gut microbiome, brain, heart, skin, and spiritual health isn't just beneficial, it's essential. When we nourish these interconnected systems with intention, we create a foundation for true well-being that radiates from the inside out.

My methodology centers on nurturing the powerful connection between your brain, heart, hormones and microbiome through my signature four-step practice that works like the four chambers of the heart, each step supporting the others to bring balance throughout your body.

HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT FROM MY COACHING

When your body, the vessel that holds your spirit, is properly nourished and cared for, transformation happens naturally. You'll experience:

Enhanced Inner Wisdom: Clear the clogged channels that prevent you from tuning into your truth and intuition.

Increased Energy & Mental Clarity: Say goodbye to brain fog, low energy, and that heavy feeling that weighs you down.

Emotional Balance: Approach situations with more calm, laugh and smile more freely, and feel lighter and more at ease.

Physical Wellness: Address digestive problems, skin issues, brain fog, fatigue, and aches and pains that signal your body needs attention.

Spiritual Connection: Feel more grounded and connected to what lights you up; when in flow, you are able to show up fully for the people and things you love.

Sustainable Habits: Let go of practices that no longer serve you and discover what makes you feel your absolute best.

This journey leads you to wholeness, a place that feels safe, where you can access the wellspring of health that's always been available to you.

WHAT WE WILL DO IN OUR SESSIONS

Together, we'll work through my transformative four-step practice:

STEP 1 | EXCAVATE We'll begin by observing and recording an inventory of your lifestyle from morning to night. This self-excavation helps identify what's working beautifully and what might be causing inflammation, discomfort, and imbalances in your system.

STEP 2 | PRACTICE You'll create a sustainable daily practice featuring what I call "Heart-Centered Add-Ins,” delicious, nourishing, anti-inflammatory foods alongside self-care practices that support your heart, brain, microbiome, hormones, and spiritual well-being.

STEP 3 | RESET We'll continue empowering your body with foods and practices that help you feel your best, while gently replacing foods that may be causing inflammation or distress.

STEP 4 | DISCOVER Together, we'll refine your daily practice to perfectly align with your lifestyle and, most importantly, your mind, heart, spirit, and essence. You'll discover the archaeologist within and uncover your unique path to wellness.

WHO IS A GOOD FIT FOR THIS COACHING:

You're an ideal candidate for my coaching if you:

- Feel disconnected from your body and intuition, despite wanting to feel your best.

- Experience persistent low energy, brain fog, digestive issues, skin problems, or emotional imbalances.

- Are committed to doing the inner work of self-excavation and sustainable change.

- Are motivated to discover how trauma is showing up in your body and in your lifestyle habits.

This work is particularly powerful for those who sense that their current habits are dragging their mind-body-heart-spirit down and are ready to cultivate a new framework for how they nourish themselves. If you're seeking not just better health, but a return to what I like to call whole-being, this journey is for you.
