How my journey began
About Me
Certified Holistic Health Coach • Voice for Earth
I’ve always known, deep in my soul, that Mother Earth provides a remedy for every ailment—that the body, given the right conditions, has a profound and innate ability to heal itself. This isn’t something I read in a textbook. It’s a knowing I was born with, one that has guided me my entire life and ultimately led me to become a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Long before I had a credential to my name, I was the person friends and family turned to when they needed answers the conventional medical world couldn’t give them. I’ve spent decades immersing myself in the world of natural healing—studying food as medicine, exploring herbal remedies, diving into the science of plant-based nutrition, and learning from pioneers like Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, and Dr. Max Gerson. What I discovered changed not only my own life, but the lives of the people I love.
My Story
I grew up in a household shaped by addiction—my father was an alcoholic, and food addiction ran through my family as well. As a child, I turned to sugar and comfort foods the way others turned to anything that offered relief from pain. I understood emotional eating from the inside out, long before I had language for it. But I also discovered something powerful early on: when my mother began cleaning up our family’s diet after joining Overeaters Anonymous, I lost weight, gained confidence, and felt—for the first time—truly good in my body.
That shift lit something in me. At thirteen, I helped a classmate understand that she, too, could feel the same confidence and lightness I had found. It was a small moment, but it stayed with me. Even then, I had a natural ability to see people’s highest potential and to help them believe in it for themselves.
Over the years, I pursued every thread of wellness I could find. I became certified as a personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise and worked at a top health club in New York City. I studied exercise physiology, explored yoga, meditation, and the mind-body connection, and spent years reading and attending seminars on personal development and consciousness. Wellness of the mind, body, and spirit has always been my passion.
Helping People Heal
The real test of any knowledge is whether it works in real life—and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing some truly remarkable healing.
After my mother suffered a heart bypass surgery and later had stents placed for five re-blocked arteries, I guided her toward Dr. Dean Ornish’s plant-based cardiac program. She lost fifty pounds, reversed her heart disease symptoms, and—fifteen years later—has never experienced another cardiac event. Her cardiologist simply tells her to keep doing what she’s doing.
When my brother-in-law Ronald was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease and had dropped to 106 pounds, I stepped in with nutritional guidance and healing meals. He went on to reach 160 pounds and was walking five miles a day. A dear friend recovering from hip surgery healed so quickly under my care that years later, her daughter called on me again when her mom needed healing support after a serious fall left her bedbound.e
One of the most profound moments of my life came on New Year’s Eve, when a friend who had battled lung cancer stood up in a room full of people and said she believed she was still alive because of me. I was brought to tears. In that moment, I knew—with absolute certainty—that helping people heal and believe they deserve to heal is my true calling.
Becoming a Health Coach
When my father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2023, I decided to formalize what I had always done naturally. I enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition’s health coach training certification course, and in August 2024—just one month before my father passed away—I graduated as a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.
Although it was too late to help my father, his passing deepened my resolve. The knowledge I’ve accumulated over a lifetime, combined with the compassion I carry naturally and the formal training I now hold, is something I am called to share. I have always been able to see the highest potential for health and wholeness in the people around me. Now, as a health coach, I have the framework to help them get there.
Voice for Earth
My brand, Voice for Earth, is not just a name—it is a mission. As a holistic health coach and voiceover artist, I have two gifts that, when woven together, allow me to reach people in a unique way: the power of healing knowledge and the power of my voice to share that knowledge with the world. I believe that optimal health is not only a personal journey but a planetary one. What we choose to put in our bodies affects not just us, but the animals and the Earth we share.
I am here to connect the dots between the ancient wisdom of the natural world and the people who need it most—helping you discover that the Earth has already provided what your body is asking for. My role is simply to help you hear it.
Your health, your wholeness, and your highest potential are waiting. I’m here to help you find your way back to them.
