Health Coach
There is no one size fits all approach to wellness. There are many factors and facets that determine good health, food is only one of them. As a health coach, I specialize in supporting your journey to reclaim a sound body and mind. We will look at the areas of food, relationships, activity, lifestyle and emotional beliefs. Together we will evaluate what may be sabotaging your efforts and aspirations.
As your wellness mentor will reframe your story. Together, we will visit and let go of old, self- sabotaging thoughts and emotions. With a new vision in place, I will support you in your journey by creating an evolving, yet concrete action plan to achieve your goals. We will develop new daily habits and practices that align with your desired future.
Time is our greatest equalizer. My role is to educate you on how to establish and clear your intentions and use this time efficiently. I will meet you where you are, and help you overcome lifelong roadblocks and obstacles that will change your relationship with food.
Health is your vehicle for change and transformation. I am here to educate, encourage and support you.

Who I am
Seventeen years ago, my life took a drastic turn when I suffered a complicated pregnancy loss. After a dozen surgeries and two very complicated pregnancies along with seven months of bedrest, twice, I was left feeling bruised and battered. Experiencing immobility for a prolonged period of time, had many nasty side effects. The most glaring, or disheartening one was a 100-pound weight gain. I could not stand for more than a few minutes due to the severe muscle atrophy. Immediately prior to delivery, I was able to shop for a few baby essentials, and for that, I was wheelchair bound (This was nowhere to be found in the “What to Expect” books).
My youngest, now 14 was born prematurely. His early arrival into the world would present its own set of very stressful challenges. With a toddler at home, life became a delicate balance. Constant medications, doctor’s appointment, and feeding issues became the new norm. All the while, my health was still an issue. As fate would have it, my lactation consultant was able to offer lifestyle modifications that helped me regain my health in ways that my entire team of doctors never suggested. This was my turning point towards restoring my body.
My experiences led me to research, ask questions and search for answers in the often-confusing health care system. I learned to be a fierce advocate for my family’s health. While doctors are generally well-intentioned, their suggested treatment plans and options never took the root causes of our ailments, nor our unique health history into consideration. So, I dove into research and went off the grid to find doctors that would dig deep, partner with me and find answers.
I have always been a health and fitness enthusiast. I had a 24-year career in gymnastics as an athlete and coach. I continued onto an almost decade-long career in business operations management. I also studied clinical social work. I have completed extensive training under top experts in the field of health and nutrition, coaching, and nutraceutical education. I have studied more than 100 nutrition theories. All of these experiences and earning my credentials as a Certified Health Coach, have led me to create SuKu Health.
