learn more about me
Welcome, I'M really GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
I know what it feels like when your body doesn't match who you are on the inside, when the way you want to move through life feels out of reach.
That feeling of lethargy, of losing my vibrancy, of feeling stuck, is what prompted my own health transformation in my late teens.
It changed more than my body and my health. It opened up a whole new world. I felt destined to help others who felt cast out of athletics see what's possible when they transform their health too.

Some FUN facts about ME
I have two dogs: a rescued jindo mix from South Korea, and a hyper labradoodle.
The labradoodle had a privileged, uncomplicated upbringing. The jindo experienced abuse and is still healing from it. They couldn't be more opposite in personality, and yet they adore each other and are each other's safe place. I appreciate this microcosm and feel like they could teach us so much about the world.
If I weren't a health coach I probably would have become a writer or an artist.
I grew up in a highly artistic and musical family: an organist, a violinist, musical therapists. I used to play the cello! My parents are retired English professors, and I grew up writing story after story and sketching in sketchpads. I'm slowly picking these practices back up.
My favourite places to travel (so far) are Spain and Costa Rica.
I used to travel alone often, and have yet to go with my boys to either place. We sometimes discuss another international move (already lived in LA for 3 years), but that's a story for another day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Still have questions before getting started? Here's what I get asked most, if you don't see yours here, feel free to reach out directly.
Do I need to be active to start?
Not at all. My approach is built for beginners just as much as it is for people returning to movement after time away. We start exactly where your body is right now, no assumptions, no judgment.
How is this different from a typical personal trainer?
Rather than generic workouts, I look at the root cause of what's holding you back, whether that's biomechanics, blood sugar, sleep, or stress, and build your program around it. It's coaching that treats your whole health, not just your workout log.
Do you work with people managing chronic illness?
Yes. Gentle, intelligent programming is especially important when you're navigating a chronic condition, and it's a core part of how I coach.
What's the difference between your coaching, counselling and testing packages?
BIOME Coaching is a full 12-week 1:1 program combining fitness, nutrition and lifestyle coaching. Nutrition Counselling is available session by session for more flexible support. The Functional Nutrition Deep Dive is a focused 4-session package for chronic or unexplained symptoms. Functional Health Testing offers lab-based packages to help identify what's really going on beneath the surface.
Is this all done virtually?
Yes, everything is delivered online through via an app or telecommunications, so you can work with me from anywhere.
How long will it take to see results?
Root-cause work takes a little longer than a quick fix, but it lasts. Most clients start feeling a difference in energy and how their body feels within the first few weeks, with deeper changes building over the following months.
