As an intrinsic health and wellness coach, certified health education specialist, NASM certified personal trainer, group training specialist, and corrective exercise specialist, you can tell that I’m all about wellness. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Community Health from the University of Maryland, College Park. I wrote ‘A Measure of Health’ which explains how our lifestyles influence our waist size and what we can do about it based on research and I also made a cookbook called ‘Belly Fat Recipes and Evidence-Based Tips’ which has whole food plant-based recipes that fit into my proven waist-slimming lifestyle protocol. I also have training in facilitated stretching, which has expanded my knowledge-base of how to help improve flexibility as well as mobility issues such as knee or shoulder restrictions in range of motion, back pain, etc.

My holistic approach to health and wellness helps to break through difficult cycles of self-sabotaging behavior by reflecting on our mindsets and shifting perspectives to discover intrinsic or ‘inner’ motivation.

I firmly believe in drawing the connections/relationship between our lifestyles and our health so that we can realize truly impactful, permanent and positive change. My passion for healthy living runs deep.
