Professional Experience

Office Manager | Larrea Naturopathic Medicine- I create welcoming, supportive experiences for every patient while coordinating all aspects of care from check-in to check-out. My role encompasses scheduling management, daily operations oversight, and maintaining the warm, caring atmosphere our practice is known for. Additionally, I manage our digital presence through social media and website coordination, sharing evidence-based wellness content and keeping our community connected to the latest developments in naturopathic medicine.

​

Integrative Nutrition Health Coach | Institute for Integrative Nutrition Graduate I bring additional depth to patient care by helping individuals achieve optimal wellness through personalized nutrition guidance and holistic lifestyle strategies. With my training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I've developed expertise in over 100 dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. My coaching philosophy centers on the understanding that lasting health emerges when mind, body, and spirit work in harmony.

My Approach to Health Coaching

True healing and growth require more than behavioral changes—they demand a shift in perspective. Health coaching bridges the gap between medical advice and personal action. Instead of simply telling you what to do, I listen, partner with you on your health journey, and create a space for your transformation.

​

Working alongside healthcare providers, I help you navigate toward your unique vision of wellness. Together, we look beyond symptoms to uncover and address root causes. Unlike nutritionists or fitness instructors, I take a holistic, all-encompassing approach to lifestyle and wellness, guiding you toward sustainable practices that lead to long-lasting improvements.

​​

I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and women navigating menopause and perimenopause. These life experiences require specialized understanding and a gentle, trauma-informed approach to healing.

​

Personal Journey

Born and raised in McKinney, TX, I spent 17 years in Austin before making my home in Tucson, AZ. As an '80s latchkey kid and lover of all things '80s music, I'm a Virgo, recovering perfectionist, and your go-to inspiration dealer. My background includes being a former licensed cosmetologist and current entrepreneur.  As a partner and proud mama to three amazing kids (ages 29, 24, and 17), I understand firsthand the balance required to nurture both family and personal wellness.

​

I've experienced my share of life transformations—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and have faced down one of life's biggest and fears: rejection for being my true self. These experiences allow me to connect with and inspire people from all walks of life. My journey reflects universal struggles with identity, belonging, purpose, wellness, and self-acceptance.

My journey reflects universal struggles with identity, belonging, purpose, wellness, and self-acceptance. People often comment on my glowing skin, and the secret is simple: living a clean, nourishing life. This visible transformation reflects the deeper healing that happens when we align our lifestyle choices with our body's true needs.

​

My Mission

Through formal training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and lived experiences, I've become a critical thinker and compassionate listener. I strive to create a space where people of all identities feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether empowering others to pursue their dreams, sharing healthy recipes, or spreading love and courage, my mission is clear: to inspire you on your journey toward health, happiness, and success.

​

I'm honored to be part of a healing-focused team and remain deeply committed to supporting each person's unique journey toward better health and vitality.

Thank you for being here—you're gorgeous!
