After twenty years of drinking, and blocking myself from living my purpose, I reached out for help.
I was ready.
On January 1st, 2019 I made one of the most important decisions of my life and I dove headfirst into my recovery from AUD. I faced my demons and discovered my truths, simultaneously and honestly. After gaining a strong foundation from the twelve step fellowship, I yearned for a more hybrid and adaptable approach for continuing my sobriety long-term. I discovered sober social media, and found many virtual spaces for community and fellowship. I became committed to recovering out loud and sharing my sobriety journey openly.
After a little over two years in recovery, and many hours of service facilitating meetings in sober and sober-curious spaces, door after door began opening for me. I rediscovered my passion for coaching and took on opportunities to help others. I came to understand the powerful impact that nutrition and movement have on recovery and sobriety and soon realized that THIS is where I was always meant to be.
Today, I put my master’s in exercise psychology to work, alongside my Precision Nutrition coaching certification. I have also earned a SMART Recovery facilitator certification, and become a Medi-Cal Certified Peer Support Specialist. My coaching philosophy is rooted in evidence-based nutrition science, paired with sustainable movement routines. I educate and empower my clients to create unique wellness routines that support recovery and sobriety. My intention as a coach is to inspire you to live the beautiful and enjoyable life that you deserve.
