My Health and Life Coach certification program started!
I am loving the program so far. I feared it would be mostly woo-woo stuff. However, the coaching methodology is based on behavioral psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurolinguistic programming, and motivational interviewing. This is such a great continuation of my psychology degree in which my focus was on psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience.
Looking forward to launching my new practice. It won’t be until Spring/Summer of 2026 but I’m still very excited to curate a host of services to help get you unstuck and living your life with authenticity and freedom!

Good morning! Consider this a “BEFORE” puffy faced selfie. This near year pandemic is starting to show up on my body. The increase in stress eating, the decrease in movement takes its toll on everyone. I’m starting the day w a Daily Harvest green smoothie with a scoop of Isagenix TriRelease Protein and Ionix Supreme. I do not support the diet culture. I support sustainable lifestyles that help us feel fabulous and perform epically.
Don’t give into the demons today. They’re tempting at first but you know it ends up just making you feel like trash.
