After experiencing a rare autoimmune disease in my twenties while in grad school, I embarked on a decades-long journey to study and understand the deep (and sometimes not-so-deep) causes of disease, stress and personal dissatisfaction. Marc David’s Institute for the Psychology of Eating and its insightful holistic approach to Mind Body Nutrition filled in the gaps that remained following years of psychotherapy, 12 step programs and extensive personal health research. The Institute’s innovative strategies for addressing weight, digestion, chronic dieting, fatigue and other issues provide powerful tools for navigating these and other life challenges.

As a practicing lawyer in Los Angeles for over 30 years, a survivor of childhood trauma and sexual abuse, three serious auto-immune conditions and teenage anorexia, I offer the wisdom and healing insights I’ve learned along the way, highlighted by the coaching tools and remarkable intelligence of the professional certification program of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.

Whether its stress, eating/digestive issues or malaise that’s the problem, relief and peace of mind and body are available–and often discovered where you’d least expect them.

I’m a multi-certified coach, writer, and speaker with 20 years in personal growth and mind-body transformation.

Women tend to find me when they realize they’re done compromising and are ready for something very different!

Here, we give the traditional discouraging, disempowering diet mentality the middle finger.  We feel what it’s like to stand unapologetically in who we want to be and our bodies begin to relax into this. We do the honest and empowering work that deeply reconnects us to body, food and spirit. How we eat and how we show up in the world is deeply related. By learning to eat and honor our bodies as an authentic expression of ALL of who we are, we finally get to dance into the lasting results we’ve been looking for this whole time…yay!

Are you tired of struggling with food, body and weight? Are you sick of wasting so much time and precious energy on following the newest diet or exercise program, to just end up feeling like you have no willpower and you’ve failed again? “Food prison”, punishing workouts and empty promises are not the royal road to a happy and healthy relationship with food and body. Let us stop using the same old, outdated strategies in hopes that they will finally give us the results we truly want. Through my training in Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition, I want to help you rediscover the joy of living in your body, the pleasure of eating nourishing food and the peace that comes from loving yourself and living a balanced and healthy life.

As a Certified Eating Psychology Coach I bring a positive approach to healing by helping you reach the happiest and healthiest version of yourself. My mission is to help, teach, educate and inspire you in the areas of food, nutrition, psychology, and spirituality using tools and techniques from Mind-Body Nutrition and Dynamic Eating Psychology.

In each session, I create a nurturing space where I share my good listening, my sincerity, my unique insights, and my passion for nutrition and psychology to help you cultivate a loving relationship with food, body, and self. Together we will discover the answers to your eating and body challenges and find sustainable results to bring peace, pleasure, and happiness to your life.

Before I was certified as a Mind Body Eating Coach I worked in Research and Development for nearly 20 years. I use problem-solving skills combined with mind body nutrition techniques to guide clients to overcome health and weight challenges. My goal is to get as many people as I can off the diet rollercoaster. The work that I do is personalized and tailored for each client.

An automobile accident in 2012 resulted in a traumatic brain injury which robbed me of my life for well over a year. Being a person who has always made the choice to live in abundance I sought ways to heal myself. Knowing that nutrition would be a key player, I enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition with a mission learn more, study hard and push my brain into full recovery. It is a wonderful training for those with no knowledge of nutrition or coaching. For me, however it did not delve into the psychology of eating as the representative had explained prior to my enrolling. I still struggle somewhat and am slower than I used to be however I am still searching. My heart and mind always travel to find and utilize the appropriate and meaningful studies for me and my path. This has beautifully led me to the Psychology of Eating Certification Course which better fits my existing life work, vision and thirst for knowledge.
