I’m a Stanford-certified compassion teacher, clinical nutritionist, and author. I have over ten years of training in compassion-based reparenting, parts work, and inner-child healing that is directly tied to the root causes of an individual's relationship with food and disordered eating.

Over nearly 25 years, I’ve helped thousands of people heal — physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. My experiences and learnings inspired “The Loving Diet,” one of the first mind-body books supporting those with autoimmune diseases.

In recent years, I’ve dedicated myself and my practice to helping those struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and orthorexia, with an emphasis on chronic illness, menopause, and advanced gut restoration.

Unlike traditional therapists and other mental health professionals, my coaching centers on clients’ belief systems and heart-centered emotions. By blending compassion-based skills with parts work and reparenting, I take an incredibly effective holistic approach to healing at the intersection of the heart and body.

I maintain a private practice, run groups for women online, and facilitate Self-Compassion classes at The Healthy Teen Project in San Francisco.

With a BS in Environmental Biology and certification from Stanford University School of Medicine’s Applied Compassion Training program, I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I live with my husband and four daughters.
