Functional Nutrition & Life Coach | Breathwork Facilitator | NLP & EFT Practitioner

I help women reconnect with their energy — physically, mentally, and emotionally — so they can thrive in their everyday lives.

With over 20 years in the healing arts, I’ve blended a background in massage therapy, birth work, and functional nutrition with tools like blood sugar tracking,  breathwork, EFT, NLP, and nervous system coaching to support personalized hormone and metabolic balance.

My approach is grounded in science and elevated by embodiment.
We track what matters.
We shift what’s no longer serving.
And we rebuild health from the inside out — one aligned habit at a time through online courses, group programs and 1:1 coaching.
