I’m a health and wellness coach with a lifelong interest in nutrition science, fitness, and what it takes to build lasting health. I meet clients where they are, help them cut through the noise to focus on what matters, and find practical ways to build healthier habits that fit their lives.

After more than 20 years in technology, I bring an analytical, evidence-informed approach to health. I question popular assumptions and champion sound principles over passing trends. I believe good health rests on the cornerstones of nutrition, movement, and sleep. Each is a powerful place to start, but lasting health comes from taking a broader view and finding practical ways to make healthy habits part of everyday life.

Fitness has been a constant in my life, from completing two Ironman triathlons to more recently focusing on strength and conditioning. It has given me a lasting appreciation for the role movement plays in health, resilience, and quality of life. Today, I enjoy helping others apply these principles in practical ways that support their fitness, energy, and overall well-being.

I’m a Nutrition, Plant-Based & Lifestyle Coach and founder of Greener Table. After experiencing the benefits of adopting a plant-based lifestyle later in life, I was inspired to help others discover how small, sustainable changes can support lifelong health and well-being.
With training and certifications in nutrition, plant-based nutrition, and lifestyle coaching, I provide compassionate, evidence-based guidance tailored to each person’s needs, goals, and starting point. My approach emphasizes progress—not perfection—and practical strategies that help clients overcome barriers and build healthy habits that last.

I have a special interest in encouraging older adults to recognize that positive lifestyle changes can begin at any age. Through my company, Greener Table (Where Healthy Habits Grow), my goal is simple: to meet people where they are and help them move toward better health—one step at a time.

Hi friend! I am happy to be a guiding light for your personal journey, weather its dealing with diabetes or other condition, or if you are a man or woman or fellow human being.

Overwhelmed by your medical condition? Overwhelmed by conflicting prenatal advice? Exhausted by survival mode fatigue, and quietly anxious about whether your body is truly equipped to manage your stress and nutrition all on your own?
For Nervous System and Lifestyle Wellness one potential path option we could do is: begin by co-creating a map with your outcome goal in mind making your unique GPS route moving as slow or fast as you desire. I will deeply listen to your unique lifestyle stressors and nutritional gaps if any. TWO: we use deeply restorative Yoga Nidra to shift your nervous system out of fight or flight mode and clear away chronic exhaustion. THREE: we seamlessly integrate clean, anti inflammatory nutrition to support steady blood sugar and easy meal prepping. Finally, we build the physical stamina and mental resilience you need to step confidently into life as a vibrant human being. Weather that includes birth and postpartum recovery, or Recovering from illness and aging healthfully.

So that you can systematically lower your daily stress, reclaim deep nightly sleep, and master your nutrition, giving your mind absolute peace while equipping your already fully resourced physical body for birth, or that next marathon like journey, or body building, aging with greater wellness and joy.

I have followed a very strict gluten-free diet since 2006 to manage Celiac Disease. Since this shifted my life, I became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in 2014, and a Monash FODMAP trained Dietitian in 2021. I also completed the SIBO Roadmap course for Dietitians to understand the complex dietary, supplement, and lifestyle management of SIBO (and have managed it twice myself!). I became a Certified Mental Health and Emotional Eating Specialist through Institute of Transformational Nutrition in 2024, a Certified Gastrointestinal Nutritionist through SIBO Academy in 2024 and a Plant-Based Coach through the Food Revolution Network in 2025. I am also a professional member of several organizations that offer continuing guidance and updates to manage health and wellness of more complex GI conditions like when someone has Diabetes, Gastroparesis, and Diverticulitis., or EDS-hypermobile with POTS and food allergies. Now I am expanding my ability to offer enhanced health and wellness guidance to those who need a little more support than just doing it on their own. I have created Heart Spirit Nutrition to offer a safe space for people of all physical sizes and bodies, all gender identities and all lifestyles to find hope, insights, and reconnect with their life-purpose not in spite of, but including, their gastrointestinal issues.

I make it easy for people to add more whole plant-based foods, so they can feel amazing, maintain their independence and take back control of their health.
