I’m a Holistic Health Coach on a mission to empower women to break free from food anxiety, body image struggles, and the trap of restrictive dieting to live a life of true food freedom. My journey began in my early 20s while pursuing an acting career in Hollywood. Surrounded by the pressure to fit a specific body ideal, I was consumed by constant comparison and endless cycles of restrictive diets. No matter what I tried, I felt trapped in anxiety and never truly comfortable in my skin.

Everything changed when I decided enough was enough. I vowed to stop dieting, though the lingering food anxiety persisted. In an unexpected twist, I signed up for a triathlon—not to fix my eating habits, but simply to challenge myself. Training revealed something profound: I needed more food to fuel my workouts, and for the first time, I experienced food as true nourishment, not an enemy. This mindset shift began to unravel my old beliefs about dieting, teaching me that the right amount of food, rather than a low-calorie meal, is what truly supports a vibrant life.

Yet, despite these positive changes, I still struggled with body image. Dressing up, taking photos, or even just looking in the mirror often felt like a battle. Approaching my 29th birthday, I realized acting was no longer fulfilling me, but finding a new path wasn’t easy. I explored many different career paths—from influencer to florist—none of which felt right. The thought of a corporate job even brought me to tears.
