My passion lies in changing lives and helping clients reach their full potential in all areas of life. My fitness and nutrition career started by teaching yoga and quickly snowballed into more. While pursuing my own goals, I learned that nutrition is the most important thing when it comes to reaching your goals and the more I learned about nutrition, the more I realized that what we eat is rarely about the food. I will ask you to go deeper and examine your thoughts around yourself, food, exercise and diet.
