Where It All Began

I grew up a pretty typical, relatively healthy kid. Three square meals a day, with a few Fruit Roll-Ups and Oreos thrown in for good measure.

In seventh grade, I decided to give up meat for Lent—not because of a wellness epiphany, but because I genuinely didn’t like the taste or texture. Lent gave me an excuse to (politely) avoid my mom’s cooking. That small decision ended up shaping my relationship with food for life, though I didn’t realize it at the time.

A Shift I Didn’t See Coming

I wasn’t on a wellness journey back then. I was a driven student, an athlete, and a teenage girl who spent hours in front of the mirror trying out the latest makeup trends with my Kaboodles full of (very affordable) cosmetics.

Then, everything changed.

At sixteen, I developed a series of sudden, unexplained infections. After multiple ER visits and misdiagnoses, I was hospitalized in a pediatric ICU—isolated, monitored 24/7, and unable to eat or speak. I watched my body deteriorate, my fingernails fall off, and my arms bruise from endless blood draws and IV sticks. I dropped to a critically low weight, and at my lowest moment, I sat beside my mom and wrote out a teenage version of a will.

It sounds dramatic because it was. I truly thought I was dying.

The Turning Point

Eventually, I was discharged—frail, weak, and told I was “better,” even though I felt far from it.

To help rebuild my immune system, my mom took me to a holistic nutritionist. It was my first introduction to the power of natural, plant-based healing. I wasn’t sold at first—drinking green juices, peeing in cups, and taking supplements felt like just another prescriptive plan.

But over time, I saw my body come back to life. My energy returned. My weight stabilized. My nails grew back. Most importantly, I rediscovered hope—and developed a completely new perspective on health, food, and healing.

Why I Do This Work

That experience shaped everything I do today. I learned that true wellness is personal, not prescriptive—and that healing happens from the inside out.

Today, I help others reclaim their health and radiance through vitality coaching and clean beauty consulting. My philosophy is rooted in balance: nourishing the body with whole foods, supporting the skin with clean, cruelty-free cosmetics, and approaching beauty as a reflection of inner wellness—not a mask for it.

My Mission

I’m here to guide, not prescribe. To help you feel as good as you look. And to remind you that you were never meant to live halfway—you were meant to live whole.
