When I’m not working with clients, you’ll often find me:

Cooking nourishing meals with my 17-year-old. (Note: This isn't NY Times Foodie delights, though I'd like to think so, it's more Swedish Chef meets Abstract Painter - a whish of this or that, or a splash of coconut aminos for flavor or dash of tumeric for color and rich healing properties.)

Walking my pups through the beautiful desert washes.

Molding clay into coffee and tea vessels that feel just right in your hands.

Tending to my wild garden and wondering if today’s caterpillars will become tomorrow’s butterflies.

I believe that life’s simple joys are just as important as the big transformations. This balance is at the heart of everything I do, both personally and professionally.

I know how it feels to be told “your labs are fine” when you’re battling agonizing exhaustion, brain fog, migrains, nausea or anxiety.

Many of my clients come to me after trying countless diets, supplements, and wellness trends that don’t deliver lasting results. Or they come to me because they finally can't stand the DIY approach with endless hours on internet searches, or hoping it will just go away on it's own. That’s why I focus on a root-cause approach that combines science and simplicity.

With advanced testing and a personalized plan, we’ll uncover and address the real drivers of your symptoms—whether it’s gut health, hormone imbalances, or stress.

My goal is to make the process manageable, realistic, and tailored to your lifestyle. No overwhelming overhauls—just small, impactful changes that deliver big results.

Healing doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. When we focus on what truly matters, progress becomes achievable and sustainable.

My love for wellness started almost 40 years ago, during a yoga class when I fell asleep in Shavasana (the resting pose at the end of class). That five minutes of the deepest rest I’d ever felt ignited a lifelong appreciation for the connection between body and mind. Yoga became a tool for me to find ease in both movement and life—even with tight hamstrings!

However, during University days my life became jammed packed and I found myself struggling with chronic health issues while living in New York City especially after my experience with 9/11/2001.

Soon after, I moved to Northern New Mexico and discovered organic farming through my neighbors farm and garden share. Inspired by this I studied Nutritional Therapy (FNTP) in 2016 and the tools to reverse my auto immune symptoms.

In 2019, I became a Certified Yoga Teacher, incorporating yoga and breathwork into my functional nutrition practice. Whether it’s teaching yoga or working one-on-one to create a personalized healing plan, I see the body and mind as deeply connected.

My clients often say yoga helps them reduce stress and connect with their bodies in ways they hadn’t before.

However, I want you to know, I'm not a strict yogi who sits still for hours in meditation or expects you to do a headstand -- I'm more likely to do a silent walking reflection or a very gentle stretch based class - like my PJ Yoga Class, to ease into the body and gentle release the chattering of the mind.

I have since completed 2-years of advanced training with Restorative Wellness Solutions: Gasterointestinal Health, Blood Chemistry, Hormone Health and Clinical Mastery: Genomics, Toxins, Autoimmunity and Neurology.

This allows me to deep dive into your lab work and present Functional Nutrition healing protocols that are personalized to you.
