Hello, My Name Is
"My mission is to educate and encourage healthy, mindful living helping others embrace the concept that we are a product of what we eat and how we treat ourselves."
Personal health and educating others on their health and wellness have been passions of mine for many years. I have had issues with my health for my entire life culminating in cancer and Hashimoto’s in my 30’s. Beyond my own health, I have also struggled while watching various loved ones suffer from health-related issues, including my husband Marc who lost his battle to cancer in his mid-40’s. Despite my many challenges with health, I am so grateful for the lessons that I have learned from them because they have given me the fuel to pass on my knowledge to other people in need.

Don’t get me wrong—I always encourage my clients to take charge of their health and do what feels right for their […]

This Vegan Soy-Free Miso Ramen has been getting me through these chilly(ish) LA November days. We developed it for the SOUP Cleanse, and it’s been a MAJOR hit. It’s entirely gluten-free, plant-based, and contains more veggies than any other ramen we’ve ever made. It has zucchini, cabbage, cauliflower, scallion, carrot, and nori – I like […]

I don’t know about you, but I’m operating on salads only until Thanksgiving. Okay, that might not be entirely true. But I am trying to eat as many salads as possible to boost my nutrient intake ahead of the indulgent holiday. If you’re thinking about doing the same, this Quinoa Lentil Sweet Potato Salad is […]
