I know what it feels like to face a diagnosis that stops you in your tracks. After surviving melanoma twice, cardiovascular disease, and then a life-threatening form of thyroid cancer, I made a decision: I wasn’t going to hand over my health to chance or settle for being told “take this pill for the rest of your life.” I chose to take back control, and that decision transformed everything.

Today, as a certified Food Revolution Plant-Based Coach, Integrative Health & Wellness Coach, and licensed Food for Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, I help women rewrite their own health stories. My coaching blends evidence-based nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and holistic therapies to support deep healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether you’re navigating cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression, autoimmune conditions, or simply want to feel vibrant again, together, we’ll chart a path that honors both the science and the soul of your health.

I’m a wife, mom, sister, best friend, author, nutritionist, geeky scientist, and outdoor enthusiast. My journey into wellness started with heartbreak, the sudden loss of my dad. It lit a fire in me to understand what really creates long-lasting health, and that search led me to embrace a whole new way of eating and living.

I dove headfirst into the science behind nutrition, earned multiple certifications in plant-based nutrition, culinary instruction, medicinal plants, and health coaching, and even when life threw me a cancer diagnosis, I kept going. That experience only deepened my passion and transformed my health in ways I never imagined.

​Now, I spend my days sharing everything I’ve learned with anyone ready to take back their health. I love being in the kitchen, teaching classes, coaching individuals, and geeking out over how food truly changes us at the cellular level. I’ve had the joy of working with many of the world’s top experts in nutrition and wellness, hosting them at my events, interviewing them, and learning alongside them.

I help Baby Boomers who are tired of fad diets and conflicting nutrition advice find practical, sustainable ways to improve their health.

I am busy, but I offer a limited number of free consultations each month.

I’m an an ANCC board certified Family Nurse Practitioner who earned my Doctor of Nursing (DNP) degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and certification in nutrition from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. My clinical interests and specialties include primary care and lifestyle medicine, integrative nutrition and gut health, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming care. I provide patients with comprehensive care that is tailored to meet their individual needs.

I have combined my background in law and policy with my clinical skills and passion for healthcare to advocate for my patients while providing equitable care for underserved and marginalized communities. While completing my doctoral education, I conducted both local and national research and co-authored peer-reviewed publications. I have investigated dental hygiene programs in Hawaii, healthcare worker wellness in Hawaii, and the attitudes and intentions of healthcare providers across the U.S. toward vaccines during COVID-19.

I am a Holistic Health Practitioner with a Master of Nutrition degree from NC State and am Triple Board Certified in: Holistic Nutrition®, Lifestyle Medicine and as a National Health & Wellness Coach. The latter credential ultimately helps facilitate the behavioral/lifestyle changes my clients are seeking. Being diagnosed with Celiac Disease as a child in 1986, food and health have been a big part of my life. This was the impetus for my work to help others attempt to live their healthiest and best lives through food and nutrition.

I worked in the food service industry for more than 20 years. I’ve worked in restaurants, as a nutritional consultant, catering, a five-star hotel and owned the first gluten free bakery in my area. My husband is a Chef with a degree from Louisiana Culinary Institute. We frequently work together with clients to combine our two skills in hopes of helping our clients more efficiently and effectively incorporate long lasting life changes for overall health.

I typically have clients come to me after they have tried most, or all of the Allopathic avenues presented to them, with little to no avail. Working with a client’s current medical team to best serve them is my preference. Between my areas of expertise, and that of their existing team, the hope is to work together to give the client back their power to live their highest and best life, despite whatever their medical diagnosis may be.

It brings me great joy that you are here and interested in a plant-based provider for your journey. I myself have always had a love of science so I obtained a B.S. in Biology. Since then, my passion for health and wellness has blossomed and continues to evolve with time.
Having encountered my own chronic health conditions, I found healing in a plant-based lifestyle accompanied with lifestyle modification.
I embarked on this journey to heal myself and now my mission and passion is to help share this information with others. As a 35 year old mother of two, I know what it’s like to lose your health but also what it is like to regain one’s quality of life. My goal is to help you improve your life and to help you give your body the support it needs to heal!

I take a holistic approach and incorporate health and wellness coaching, nutrition, and movement into my practice and my signature program. These are available on an a la carte basis but I truly believe the best approach to disease prevention and healing is a comprehensive one.
