My journey into plant-based nutrition began with my own health. After being diagnosed with kidney disease, I started exploring how nutrition and lifestyle could support my health and transitioned towards a predominantly whole-food, plant-based diet. Experiencing positive changes myself sparked a much deeper interest in the science of nutrition. With Alzheimer’s disease also affecting my family, I became increasingly interested in the relationship between diet, lifestyle and long-term health. This eventually led me to complete the Plant Based Coaching Certificate and become a Certified Plant Based Coach.

Today, my coaching combines evidence-based plant-based nutrition with behaviour change, active listening and practical goal setting. One of my particular areas of focus is ultra-processed food (UPF) and food literacy. Rather than simply telling people what they should or should not eat, I help clients understand the difference between minimally processed, processed and ultra-processed foods, recognise what they are actually buying and eating, and understand how modern food environments can shape our choices and eating habits. From there, we work together to replace highly processed foods with more whole and minimally processed plant foods in a realistic way. My goal is to turn knowledge into action — helping people make informed choices, develop healthier habits and create sustainable changes that fit their everyday lives.

I’m a Certified Plant-Based Health Coach and Program Director at Plant Docs, a physician-led nonprofit dedicated to helping people improve their health through evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle change. After experiencing firsthand how powerful a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle can be, I became passionate about helping others turn the science into practical, sustainable changes that fit into real life.

My approach to coaching is supportive, realistic, and personalized. I especially enjoy working with women over 45 who want to feel better, build healthy habits, and reduce their risk of chronic disease through food and lifestyle. Rather than focusing on perfection, I help people identify small, meaningful changes they can maintain over time—so eating well feels enjoyable and achievable, not overwhelming.
