Typically, you can find me in comfy clothes, messy hair, sippin' water all day. I’m always laughing, dancing, and pondering life’s intricacies. I’ve been told my smile is contagious, that I give great hugs and I will challenge you to think differently about life, health and happiness.

I am all about self-care as self-compassion and getting to know yourself better so you can thrive at life! Success comes from knowing yourself intimately. I help you to slow down and experience your body's natural state of calm. In this space magic happens, release occurs and true healing can unfold. 

​Your body knows what is best for you and it's always been trying to tell you, to have this relationship with you, but you haven’t been taught to notice, to listen or even ask. You’ve been told you are broken and flawed, only an educated professional can know what's best for you, so don’t ask questions, don’t explore - just go find an outside source (with credentials of course) and do what they say.

We haven’t been taught any other way.​ 

I'm here to help you find the support you need, starting from within yourself. I also aid in bridge building between you and other healthcare providers. I promote a round table health model in which you invite professionals around in the name of education and support for your healing journey.

This journey of coming home to yourself can be difficult and uncomfortable to say the least. I'm striving to create a safe space for all, so we can have the much needed hard conversations about who we are and how we show up in this world. ​Ever since I was a little kid I made it my [unconscious] mission in life to find true happiness within myself, probably because I wasn't surrounded by any such thing. Through so many trials and tribulations, here I am, ready to tell you: No one has their shit together 100% of the time, not even Beyoncé, but find what works for you and no one can tear you down.

Associates in Culinary Arts est. 2010

Where my passion for serving others came to light! I love cooking and educating on whole, nutrient dense, real food meals that are tasty AF! Most of my recipes are paleo and/or vegan and although I do not subscribe to either of these diets strictly, I am 100% gluten free. Sometimes I'm in the kitchen at Cultured Caveman, but you can also hire me personally, for small group, or your next event (retreat work is my favorite!)

​Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) est. 2012

Here, my passion for the human body and the way it functions truly began to unfold. My background is in functional movement and postural analysis through body weight training, olympic lifts, hardstyle kettlebell movements, and running. I am a stickler for proper form and injury prevention - partly because I have hyper-mobile joints that like to slip out of place. To date I have had no surgeries and it's been years since anything dislocated.
Certified 200-hr Yoga Instructor (RYT) est. 2015

​My YTT came unplanned at the end of 9-month excursion through Mexico and Central America. I was immersed in a nature reserve sanctuary in the jungle of Costa Rica for three straight weeks, exposed to a very open minded, curious way of looking at life. For the rest of my days I will carry the epiphanies and realizations I experienced there. Yoga has become an inseparable life practice for me and my goal as an instructor is to guide you out of your thoughts and back to your breath, so you can experience the peace that resides within all of us, and finally, feel at home within your body. 
​
​Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) ​est. 2017

An NTP is also a Real-Food or Functional Nutritionist. This program literally changed my life, launching me into the natural medicine world, teaching me that we are each bio-individual creations, there is no one-size-fits-all model for health (or life), has allowed me to see my own self-destruction loops and gave me the tools to get out of them, once and for all. As an NTP I ​honor ancestral wisdom, educate on proper digestion and stress-sugar cycles, as well as awaken you to your body's profound ability to heal itself - without all the shame and guilt perpetuated in diet culture.
