Wabi Sabi Living

My Journey

My interest in nutrition and helping others improve their health led me to earn my bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Northern Colorado. That education gave me a strong foundation in nutrition science and started my path toward becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.

 

Along the way, I became especially interested in how people put health recommendations into practice. I wanted to help clients explore their goals, understand what makes change difficult, and find approaches that fit their lives. That interest led me to become a Certified Health Coach. My personal training certification added another way to support clients through movement and strength.

 

I found that I love integrating these areas. Nutrition education, health coaching, and personal training each contribute something valuable, and together they allow me to offer support that considers both someone’s goals and their everyday circumstances.

 

I’m now pursuing my master’s in Dietetics at UNC through its dietetic internship program, continuing toward becoming an RDN. I chose to continue this path to deepen my knowledge of nutrition and clinical care and bring that understanding into the collaborative coaching approach I value.

 

At Wabi Sabi Living, these experiences shape how I work: combining nutrition science, support with behavior change, and fitness guidance around each person’s needs.

 

My Approach

My work focuses on nutrition, fitness, behavior change, habit formation, goal setting, and support for sobriety goals. I bring nutrition education, health coaching, and personal training together based on your needs, preferences, and circumstances.

 

We identify what you want to change, explore what makes it difficult, and develop practical steps that fit your life. Through regular conversations and check-ins, we review what’s working and adjust what isn’t. You have an active role in shaping the plan.

 

I stay current with credible nutrition and health research and explain the reasoning behind my recommendations. I welcome questions and help you make sense of conflicting health information so you can make informed decisions.

 

My goal is to help you build sustainable habits, useful skills, and confidence in managing your health. I also recognize when your needs would be better supported by medical care or specialized treatment.

 

My Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is deeply rooted in the concept of "Wabi Sabi," which finds beauty in imperfection. You don’t need perfect eating habits, workouts, or routines to care for your health.

 

I value consistency, flexibility, and learning from experience. Setbacks give us information about what needs attention or adjustment. They don’t erase your progress or determine your worth.

 

Together, we work toward habits that support your health and leave room for enjoyment, changing circumstances, and everyday life.

 

Why I Do What I Do

I care about helping people feel more confident in their ability to improve their health. My own experiences with eating disorders and disordered eating have shaped that commitment. I understand how complicated your relationship with food and exercise can become, and how isolating it can feel to struggle on your own.

 

Those experiences are part of why I value empathy, practical support, and an approach that avoids shame, fad diets, and rigid rules. Difficulty making changes does not mean you are lazy or lack willpower. Your circumstances, experiences, and needs deserve consideration.

 

I love integrating nutrition education with health coaching to help you understand your options and find ways to apply them in everyday life. My goal is to support your health while helping you build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to maintain habits and adjust when life changes.

 

You deserve to feel heard and supported throughout that process.
