In 2009, I was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer and told I had 17 months before it would metastasize.
The diagnosis rocked
the foundation of
my life forever.
I was young, naive, and stubborn - but I was also a journalist, trained to investigate, question, and dig deeper. I used every ounce of my investigative instincts to find a way through, navigating a maze of information and chasing down the best resources. I looked death in the eyes and made a vow to understand what was really happening in my body;

my mission
my approach
What makes my approach unique is that I don’t just hand you a prescription and protocol - I walk beside you. Week by week, we talk through it all, I read your body, your energy and your spirit and I evolve your healing plan in real time. I detox your kitchen and home, rewrite your program weekly, collaborate with your doctors, inspire you, motivate you, hold you accountable, and track your progress. I take care of you.
Everything we will work on together is rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science, drawing from Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Quantum Healing, Frequency and Energy Healing. Each client's health journey is different and each container is created dependent on your particular needs.
Together we will re-align your physical body at a cellular level, encourage somatic release, and catalyze profound healing and deeply personal transformation.
And I will be with you, every step of the way.
my intention
My intention is to offer you a whole new concept of healthcare, a relationship-centered holistic paradigm steeped in ancient healing modalities and mysticism, and supported by the latest scientific studies.
A truly healing spiritual “soup” of sorts, motivated by my own healing from cancer, and guided by a deep desire (and the promise I made to God and the Universe) to facilitate breakthroughs and life-changing transformations in others.
Through my own remarkable healing journey and realization that physical illness stems from an overload of emotional, psychological and spiritual crises, I developed my own healing abilities integrating over a decade of learning, research and personal self work.
While my nutrition and functional medicine approach healed my body, soul-opening miracles have occurred to me and through me during my spiritual journey.
I'm here to share my magic with you.
