My journey is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose. Having faced personal battles with addiction and self-harm ideation, I emerged as a survivor, determined to build a healthier, more fulfilling life. Through my experiences with trauma, PTSD, and self-sabotage, I gained a deep understanding of the emotional and psychological barriers that hold people back.
Recovery wasn’t just about overcoming the past—it was about reclaiming my future. I discovered the power of mindset, personal growth, and sustainable well-being. This journey wasn’t just about improving my health; it was about breaking generational cycles and aging better than the examples set before me.
Now, as a nutrition and mindset coach, I bring together personal experience, holistic health knowledge, and strategic coaching to help others break free from their struggles. I specialize in working with goal-oriented individuals over 40 who feel stuck, unmotivated, and exhausted. My mission is to help them regain energy, build unshakable confidence, and create a lifestyle that truly aligns with their values and aspirations.
Beyond coaching, I chronicle my 50-year journey on my blog, Cerebral Glitch, where I offer raw insights into trauma, self-acceptance, and personal growth. For me, this work isn’t just about coaching—it’s about creating a movement. A movement that empowers people to take control of their mindset, habits, and future, so they can live with purpose, vitality, and strength.
Are you ready to break free and rewrite your next chapter? Let’s do this together.
Why I coach
Why I Coach
I coach because I know what it means to wake up and not recognize the life you’re living—to feel like you’re watching yourself from the outside, trapped in a story that no longer fits. I know what it’s like to carry the weight of an identity that was never truly yours, to shrink yourself to fit expectations that suffocate rather than set you free.
I know what it’s like to believe that change is for other people. That growth belongs to those who have it all figured out, that healing is something that happens to everyone but you. And I know the quiet terror of standing at the threshold of transformation, torn between the fear of what’s ahead and the unbearable weight of staying the same.
But here’s what I also know: the body, the mind, and the spirit are not separate things. They are tangled together, messy and wild, and when you reclaim one, the others follow. I coach because transformation isn’t about chasing an ideal—it’s about unlearning everything that told you that you weren’t enough as you are. It’s about stepping out of the shadow of who you were supposed to be and standing fully in the light of who you already are.
I coach because the biggest tragedy isn’t failure—it’s watching your own life pass by while you wait for the “right time” to begin living it. I coach because too many people bet their happiness on a future version of themselves that may never arrive. Your best years are not behind you. They are not ahead of you. They are wherever you decide to start showing up for yourself.
Aging is not an unraveling—it is a sharpening. Strength is not found in chasing youth but in standing your ground and claiming your space. Growth is not about doing more—it’s about becoming more. The path forward isn’t in another rigid diet, another cycle of self-punishment, another attempt to escape the discomfort of change. It’s in learning to work with yourself, not against yourself.
If we are all just stories in the end, then let yours be a story of resilience. A story of reclamation. A story of breaking free from the past, not to erase it, but to honor how far you’ve come. That is why I coach.
