My path into health and wellness wasn’t linear, and it wasn’t planned.



I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin in Textile Science and Retail Management and spent years working long hours in high-end retail leadership with brands like TSE Cashmere and Kenneth Cole.



During that time, I became certified as a personal trainer in what little spare time I had, simply because I loved the work.


Eventually, I made a decision that surprised a lot of people. I left a well-paying corporate role to train clients part-time and hostess at a restaurant to make ends meet. Within months, I was fully booked as a trainer and never looked back.

When the market crashed in 2008 and the gym I worked at shut down almost overnight, I went out on my own.



A few years later, I opened my own fitness studio in Mountain View, where I built a thriving in-person practice and mentored other trainers running their own businesses.



Along the way, I continued my education. I completed my studies with the National Institute of Whole Health in 2010 — the same year I became a mother. In 2017, I completed my Functional Diagnostic Nutrition training, expanding my work beyond exercise into deeper metabolic, hormonal, and systems-based health.
