My Journey to Becoming a Health Coach

My journey into health and wellness began long before I ever stepped into a gym or opened a nutrition textbook. Growing up in a household where movement and mindful eating were part of daily life, I developed a deep connection between my mind and body from an early age. My mother, a physiotherapist, had a keen eye for movement patterns—something that clearly rubbed off on me. Becoming a personal trainer felt like second nature, and I quickly discovered a passion for helping others become more aware of how they move, how to move better, and how to build strength from the inside out.
Food was another cornerstone of my upbringing. While I didn’t always appreciate it at the time, my mother instilled in us a strong awareness of what we were putting into our bodies. From avoiding certain additives to growing our own fruits and vegetables, she taught us the value of real, nourishing food. I remember thinking she was being strict when she’d split one adult meal between two kids or ration out ice cream cones—but now, I see the wisdom in those choices.
After school and some time traveling, I pursued a degree in physical therapy, where I immersed myself in the science of the human body—how it moves, how it heals, and how to prevent injury. While I loved the knowledge, I realized that hands-on therapy wasn’t my path. Around that time, a simple question from a colleague about my lunch sparked a turning point. She handed me an article on aspartame, and that moment lit a fire in me. I dove into learning everything I could about nutrition, food systems, and wellness. That passion led me to study Nutritional Therapy with the IINH, alongside my twin sister, and I haven’t looked back since.
Today, I combine my background in movement, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching to help others feel their best. I believe that while you can live without exercise, you’ll live a much better life with it. And since we all have to eat every day, understanding how food impacts our health is essential. When you combine nourishing food, intentional movement and supportive lifestyle habits, you unlock the true potential for long-term health, energy, and vitality. 
That’s what I’m here to help you achieve.
