I received my training to practice Holistic Health Coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, which is the only nutrition school integrating all of the different dietary theories—fusing the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts—such as the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods. Some of the most influential teachers and guest speakers during my training included Dr. Walter Willet, Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Deepak Chopra. My passions for health and wellness combined with my lifelong desire to help others to achieve their best life propelled me to become a holistic health coach.
On a personal front, I am an Alaskan resident (born & raised). After experiencing a significant shift in my own life and diet, the life changing circumstances inspired me to become a health coach.
