I love to eat. I mean really love it. From speciality cheeses, fresh baked bread from the local bakery, fruit, decadent desserts, homemade pasta, chocolate chip cookies, food fresh off the grill, should I go on? I believe your "diet" should be defined by what you eat—not what you "can’t". This wasn’t always the case for me.
Growing up my family was very image and "health" oriented. I always strived to eat the healthiest I could and exercise as much as possible. Thats what I grew up knowing was "best". As I got older, I struggled with what to do, eventually fixating on calories, grams of carbs, what time I could eat and the amount of food I was eating. I became obsessive about food and exercise. I was unhappy, unbalanced, and no longer myself. Everything changed when I decided it was time to have a family. I went "all in" and stopped obsessing over food and exercise. Intuitive eating and joyful exercise was my new regime. During this time yoga and meditation played a role with finally finding inner peace and freedom with my body, mind and soul.
As a busy Mom and lover of all things food, especially since my husband is a Chef ! I know how difficult it can be to find a balance between health, work, family, travel, and your social life. I aim to help you feel empowered to overcome your obstacles and become the best version of yourself.
I believe in the importance of eating ALL food—foods that taste good and nourish your body. I incorporate balance and mindfulness into my sessions, helping you reconnect with the feeling of eating a delicious meal without depriving yourself or feeling bad about yourself. I experience great freedom and excitement around food. I want you to experience it, too. My goal is to positively transform lives, as I have transformed my own.
