I’m an epigenetic nutritional therapist and mindfulness teacher who believes that small, simple choices have the power to change your life.
Every day, we all make choices. Small ones, big ones, some that have an obvious impact on how well we feel, and others that don’t.
Creating the changes you want to see in your life isn't easy, but it can be simple.
Struggling with loss and health challenges early in life made me curious about how to live well and find a sense of peace and purpose when things didn't go as planned.
I turned to mindfulness practices and the study of different spiritual traditions to help me manage the stress, anxiety, and grief I felt inside. I then left my corporate career path to immerse myself in nutritional therapy and epigenetics.
Being well does take intention, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming.
I developed Mind|Body Therapy™️ to help women easily synthesize my 10 years of study and clinical experience into a daily methodology.
Healing food & calming breath can regulate your body's internal balancing system, without any additional substances or stress.

ep·i·ge·net·ics
noun - BIOLOGY
the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. "epigenetics has transformed the way we think about genomes"
What we Eat, Drink, Breathe, Think, Feel and Do all have the power to change our genes.
Epigenetics is the new understanding of how your genetics, the computer code that makes up you, is subject to change based upon your environment.
Your genes are descriptive, not prescriptive, meaning they tell the story of who you are based upon what has happened to and around you, not who you always have to be.
Each one of our genes has at least 30,000 variations from every gene blueprint.
Even our potentials have potentials.
We are truly unlimited.
Changing who we are is the best way to change what we do.
Mind | Body therapy is a unique blend of over 10 years of my experience in Epigenetic Nutritional Therapy and Mindfulness instruction.
Taking the time to learn to care for yourself, understand your body’s patterns around...
- food and true nourishment
- resting and working
- hormonal health and balance
- stress and release
...are the key to creating and maintaining the self-care patterns that your body needs to have a body you appreciate, a life you love and faith in your own ability to heal yourself, no matter where you’re starting from.
This is not simply ‘coaching’ with an ambiguous outcome.
It’s not a digital community that you won’t ever log into.
Or a hefty graduate degree that will exhaust and overwork you.
This is not a container for a barrage of content to your inbox for you to now “make” time for, on top of all of the other things.
This IS a space of:
- acceptance
- higher knowing
- connected conversation
- safe exploration
- a weekly cocoon
- space to grow while learning what your self (not just your body) is actually hungry for.
I never thought I could meditate, let alone LIKE to do it. But here I am with a regular practice that I look forward to every day. I used to stress out so much about what to eat, and now I feel like I choose what feels good because I listen to what my body is telling me.

INTRODUCING MY SIGNATURE 1:1 PROGRAM...
When I first came into my work as an Epigenetic Nutritional Therapist...
I didn’t know that as much as I was was looking for answers about how to heal my own physical body; I was also searching for the tools to learn how to navigate my life, and to move through the things that were challenging for me.
As someone who focuses on helping others find healing and balance, I found it necessary to devote more care inward so I could then give more into the world.
Through mindfulness practice and healing my body through food,I learned to how be embodied, to bring my whole self into my life and my work. Operating like this allows you to cultivate a sense of presence with others.
It changed so many aspects of my personal life, as well as the quality of the results my clients were seeing, because of how I began to show up with them.
It’s like the difference between looking out the window on a sunny day and actually feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin.
It changed how I did my work and supported my clients, and the results were so transformational that other practitioners starting wanting to learn and adopt these methods as well.
