My most important qualification: I am a person, an actor and a single mom who used to be exhausted, burnt out, overweight, stressed and broken out. I kept asking doctors (including holistic ones) for help. All I would hear is that “everything is normal” or “it’s just part of aging” or they would play whack-a-mole treating one symptom at a time. Things never really improved. Only when I found the FDN methodology of looking at my whole health picture, applying my health & life coaching skills with a full 360-degree review of all my body systems, was I able to really move the needle on healing. I want to free people who are frustrated with the traditional medical paradigm and not getting the answers they need.

 

Okay, so now my formal training & qualifications…

 

I am a board-certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner, Certified Human Potential Coach and Immune-Centric Coach. My certifications are with Joel Greene, Mindvalley and the Human Potential Institute Certified Coach Training Program with Dave Asprey (the founder of Bulletproof & Upgrade Labs) & British physician, Dr. Mark Atkinson.

 

My passion for biohacking and health helps others avoid the health pitfalls I experienced early in my own career. I continue to study up on the latest longevity and weight loss science, and bring it to my clients in a playful, accessible manner. I translate the nutritional science into English. I am also an Upgrade Collective Community Coach, leading the weight loss & fasting special interest group. I have helped my clients lose weight, gain mental clarity, triumph over fatigue, and reignite their professional passion.

 

I graduated magna cum laude from Tufts University and received a Masters of Fine Arts in musical theatre from San Diego State University, where I graduated Phi Kappa Phi as a Marion Ross Scholar. I worked as a professional actor from the age of 18 in various cities all over the country. I decided to take a hiatus from performing to explore the “other side of the table.”

 

As a talent manager at Creative Artists Agency, under world-famous super-agent Michael Ovitz, I helped to guide the careers of such actors as Donald Sutherland, Patrick Dempsey, Halle Berry, Alyssa Milano, and Antonio Banderas. Having been yelled at by some of the most powerful players in Hollywood, I decided that performing was just as difficult, but a lot more fun.

 

This ultimately led me to a health journey- first finding the health answers for myself and then helping others lose weight, improve their mood, manage their stress and find a healthy balance in their lives.
