As an Integrative Health and Elite Brain Health Coach, I’ve seen an unconventional approach outperform the status quo time and time again and I believe we all can make gold out of what we’ve got.

Neuroscience, nutrition, and nature.

I know this because I lived it.

After a TBI changed my relationship with my brain, I began questioning everything I thought I knew about health. I’d already spent nearly two decades navigating gut issues, chronic pain, and changes in mood, behavior, and emotional regulation before finally finding answers. I understand how isolating it can feel when you know something isn’t right but can’t seem to find a path forward.

The food on your plate is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. What nourishes us is also how we spend our time, who we surround ourselves with, and how we move, rest, create, and connect. It is as individual as we are, and it changes as we do.

High operational tempo is something I understand firsthand after 20+ years of working in Hollywood’s film and television industry. As the spouse of a retired Special Operations Veteran, I’ve also seen how what happens in high-intensity environments doesn’t always stay there.

Eventually, I traded that pace for the rugged coast of Northern California, where I could finally show up for the people and the life I loved.

I became a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and an Elite Brain Health Coach trained by Dr. Daniel Amen, M.D. I turned a lifelong passion for foraging into a disciplined study of herbalism, apprenticing under Rosemary Gladstar and Jane Bothwell.

My approach draws from brain health, integrative nutrition, herbalism, nervous system regulation, behavior change, and practical meditative practices woven into everyday life rather than becoming another demand on your time.

I help high-pressure professionals whose demanding careers have trained them to override poor sleep, gut issues, a short fuse, and chronic pain because the job had to come first. The goal is to make prioritizing their health possible so they can reclaim their energy, resilience, and mental clarity without losing the performance and identity they value.

Bring a little alchemy into your own life. Find what works. Make it yours. Make it stick.
