Level 2 Master Nutrition Coach through Precision Nutrition and Certified Life Coach through The Life Coach School. But more importantly… I’m someone who gets it.

I grew up in a big, loud military family where change was constant and emotions weren’t always safe to express. Over the last 5 decades, I survived trauma, abuse, and years of disordered eating. For a long time, food was my escape, my comfort, and my punishment. I tried everything to gain control—strict plans, all-or-nothing thinking, starting over on Mondays… and still, nothing seemed to stick or to quiet the constant food noise.

I’d do well for a while, then life would get messy (again), and I’d find myself right back where I started—tired, discouraged, addicted to sugar, and quietly ashamed. The 40 pounds I wanted to lose always seemed to find me again.

Especially as a mom of four (and now a stepmom to four more), I knew I needed a better way—not just for me, but for the kind of woman and mother I wanted to be.

Everything changed when I stopped trying to "fix" myself with willpower and started learning how to work with my brain.

I learned simple but powerful tools that rewired my habits. I healed my relationship with food. And I began to treat myself with the same compassion I so easily offered everyone else.

Today, I live at a healthy weight with minimal effort and zero food drama. I feel peaceful in my body and present in my life. I have the tools to stay grounded even when life is full—and believe me, with our blended family of eight kids, it is full.

This is the freedom I want every woman to experience.

My passion now is sharing the exact tools, science-backed strategies, and emotional mastery that transformed my life. I’ve helped hundreds of women ditch self-sabotage and step into real, lasting change—not by chasing perfection, but by learning how to lead themselves with purpose and presence, no matter what life throws at them.

I’m not one of those fake fitness influencers. I’m a real-life lifestyle mentor—walking this path beside you, living it out loud, and keeping things do-able so we can build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

If you’ve spent years trying everything and still feel stuck, I want you to know: You’re not broken. You’ve just been handed the wrong map.

Let’s change that—together.
