HEALTH COACHING & YOGA
Everything starts with the relationship you have with yourself.
Through my acting journey, I discovered other passions (as an artist and creator often does). Two of those passions were the practice of yoga and in helping youth, girls and women - in particular - find greater confidence, self worth, and balance in their lives. To my luck, self-confidence, self-awareness, health and artistic expression have quite the cross-over!
In 2020 I acquired my certification as an Integrated Nutrition Health Coach and went on to specialize in disordered eating, body image, nervous system regulation and women's empowerment. I became certified as a Level III Eating Disorder Recovery Coach and have now helped dozens of women struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, self confidence, stress, anxiety and body image through my 1:1 coaching practice.
