Founder, New You🦋Take Two & Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. My journey into health and wellness began not with a trend, but with a pattern I couldn’t ignore. Cancer. Heart disease. Diabetes. These conditions touched my family and the people I love and eventually, I began to feel the warning signs myself. Persistent fatigue, brain fog, and a sense that my body was asking for something different. Rather than accepting that path, I chose to slow down, listen, and learn. I immersed myself in nutrition, longevity research, Ayurveda, and herbal medicine. Over time, I earned my Health Coach certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN), along with Group Fitness Instructor and Fitness Nutrition certifications through the American Council of Exercise (ACE). I also deepened my plant-based expertise through Vegan Baking and Culinary Nutrition training with Rouxbe and Forks Over Knives.

Through this process, I experienced firsthand how powerfully the body responds when given the right nourishment, movement, and support. I healed myself. I supported my family, and I realized that transformation doesn’t happen overnight – it unfolds gradually, through small, intentional choices. Along the way, I also learned that information alone doesn’t create lasting change. True wellness requires understanding habits, behavior, and the emotional side of transformation. That insight led me to study behavior change and sustainable lifestyle practices—so I could support people not just with knowledge, but with guidance they can actually apply.

Today, my work is rooted in helping individuals navigate their own process of transformation. I blend nutrition, movement, plant-based and herbal support, and behavioral change into personalized, realistic plans that meet people where they are.
