Personally, I’m a dog mom to two rescue pups - Fozzi and Jack. They’re my world! I live with my mom and her dog Buffy (though you may know her from my social media as Barfy) in sunny Las Vegas. A New Mexico native, I moved to Chicago in 2012 after I had lost 60lbs through healthy diet and exercise. It wasn’t long before I found myself obsessing over every calorie that went in or out of my body, and lost another 20lbs through restricting my food heavily and over exercising. I went into recovery and started on the path to a healthier relationship with food and exercise - and found yoga! Flash forward to 2017, my father passed away very suddenly and this flipped my whole life upside down. Food was my comfort, and I fell into yet another eating disorder. I moved to Las Vegas to find myself and do what makes me happy. Finally, two years later, I have found my healthy balance and self love after all of these years. It has been 10 years since I started my journey to health, and I have finally found my way.

Professionally, I am an experienced social media and digital marketing manager, with a background in culinary arts and education in the fitness industry. I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2013 at Akasha Yoga Center in Illinois, and have my Personal Training Certification, Fitness Nutrition Certification, Group Fitness Certification and Elite Trainer Certification from the International Sports Science Association. I have worked for large companies like lululemon on their social media and in management, as well as at various small business like local yoga studios and doctors offices to help get their marketing and social media accounts off the ground. I have grown my Instagram following organically to over 70,000 - as well as another 78,000+ on my blog and 10,000+ on Facebook. Social media is my jam, nutrition and health is my passion! What brings me the most joy in life is helping people find their purpose, happiness, self worth and health.
