I came to this work from two very different worlds. My mother showed me what real nutrition support looks like. Twenty years of leading organizational change showed me how transformation happens. My own health transformation brought those worlds together and shaped the coach I am today.

I grew up an athlete, with a mother who was a dietitian. I watched her help women make meaningful, sustainable changes to how they ate during some of the most critical moments of their lives. What stayed with me wasn't the science she brought to that work. It was how she met people where they were, learning their foods, understanding their lives, and building something that bridged the gap between what the research said and what their lives allowed.

I had every reason to go into health. Instead, I followed the path I was supposed to follow and spent the next twenty years leading transformations in corporate supply chains, building change inside complex organizations, and learning firsthand why some changes are adopted and others are not. The answer was almost always implementation, not a lack of information or intention. I spent two decades studying implementation professionally before recognizing similar patterns in myself.

My own health unraveled slowly, the way it often does. Stress, poor sleep, inconsistent eating: a body keeping score while I kept moving. I had tried the programs and knew what the research said. And still, in my own life, it wasn't working.

What finally worked was going back to fundamentals and building something sustainable around the life I had, not the one I wished I had. That experience shaped everything I do today. I went back to school, earned my nutrition and coaching credentials, and began doing for others what I had learned to do for myself, using nutrition as the foundation for building energy, consistency, and lasting change.

That's why I coach the way I do. I'm not standing outside this work looking in. I've done it, and I've done the harder things too. Choosing differently when staying the same would have been easier, repeatedly, across many areas of my life.

I know what real transformation takes, and I know what it gives back. What makes the difference, more than intention, is the right support.
