In 2012 I packed up and left my home in Los Angeles, leaving behind a twenty-year career as an actress in theatre, film, and television.

​

I moved to San Diego, and simultaneously shifted my most unhealthy eating habits (hi! Former soda and candy addict over here!) and chose to enjoy a mostly plant-based diet.   I also began studying Buddhist meditation and adopted a spiritual practice that I felt deeply connected to.  Through studying holistic health at the Natural Healing Institute in Encinitas, I developed a passion for nutrition and wellness.  I spent a few years working for naturopathic and other integrative doctors, soaking up refreshing perspectives on health, and increasing my knowledge of functional medicine.  

 

In 2015 I gave birth to my daughter Vela.  During her toddler years I pursued my Masters of Science in Integrative Nutrition so that I could combine my passion for wellness with the scientific knowledge required to truly do the work of a clinical nutritionist.  I now seek to continually nourish myself so that I can be the best mom and partner, and to nourish my family so that they can be happy and healthy.  And I love to help others do the same!
