My Becoming, Unedited

What if the only reason we are here is to learn how to love ourselves…?

Years ago, a mentor asked me this, and I remember thinking she was out of her mind. Honestly, it irritated me. It sounded too simple and almost hedonistic. But months later it landed so deeply it never left me and ultimately became the foundation of everything I teach and share now. 

We cannot heal without love. Sure, you can look great on the outside, maybe even feel good on the surface, manage your routines and your relationships. But an inner world at peace? A heart that feels safe inside your own body? For many, that feels impossibly far away.

Even as I write this, I’m still in my own becoming (aren’t we always?) … over and over, in new layers and new seasons. But the distance I’ve traveled already is something I’m deeply proud of. 

After years of wearing a uniform, I finally decided to run wild in my birthday suit. Metaphorically speaking that is. Unconsciously, year after year, I added layers to my uniform just like you’d bundle up for a cold day outside. But it gets hot, and itchy… and irritating after a while. 

I kept moving through the motions, my body begging to rip a layer off, the masks, roles, and expectations. I felt confined and frustrated, like I was missing something everyone seemed to have (especially on social media), and for a little, I let functioning be “fine”. 

Until I was brave enough to wonder:  what’s the deal all the layers anyway?  

I wrote this about a year after graduating college. One of those moments where I was like what the F**K? I felt so frustrated by life, trapped in the career I had chosen… and no idea how to pivot. I wanted to know myself beyond all the things that were accepting and what I was supposed to do. I wanted to feel alive. 

That’s where my undressing began. Layer by layer, I slowly began to let go of the beliefs, the rules, the “good girl” armor I had carried for years. Because I wouldn’t settle for anything less than truth or living alive. 

I used to be a traditional wellness coach.
People in the field would always say, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink,” referring to clients who wouldn’t do what they “needed to do.”

But here’s what I believe now:

Anything is possible when someone reconnects with love.
When they feel safe and remember their own power and when their soul is finally seen.
Suddenly, things that once felt unreachable come back into view and life begins to open.

So now, my only ask is for you to show up authentically and honestly. Not perfectly. 

Likely, we’ll laugh and cry. We’ll uncover, heal, and self-discover together.

I don’t fix you. I hold space for the roots to rise and the bloom of your truth…
Space for you to meet yourself in ways you didn’t know were possible.

Wild woman… I see you.
That’s what they call us, the ones who choose truth over image, liberation over approval, wild enough to love and know ourselves deeply.

And I’m so proud to commit this act of rebellion with you.

My Experiences:

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition from Sonoran University of Health Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science/Kinesiology from Penn State. I’m a Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner, Functional Nutrition Metabolism Specialist, Precision Nutrition–Certified Coach, and NASM–Certified Personal Trainer.

I’ve supported more than 3,000 client sessions, helping women and men reconnect with their bodies, soften the inner noise, and return to their true selves through the union of science, energetics, and deep human connection.

I’ve lived in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Costa Rica. I’m a travel junkie at heart and each place has shaped the way I see healing: rooted in nature, presence, and the art of living fully alive.
