I’m a Stanford-certified compassion teacher, clinical nutritionist, and author with over 25 years of experience. I have over ten years of clinical practice with self-compassion-based reparenting, parts work, and inner-child healing 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 like stool testing and blood work.

My coaching centers on using our hearts to change what we believe about ourselves. Unlike traditional therapists and other mental health professionals, my work resides in the heart, not the mind. I work on the soul level to help my clients harness the power of their higher selves - a practice I have been doing for over 18 years. I have ten years of experience using soul-centered reparenting work, taught by my teacher, Dr. Robert Waterman, President Emeritus from Southwestern College.

I maintain a private practice, run online groups for women, facilitate Self-Compassion classes at The Healthy Teen Project in San Francisco, and am a visiting faculty member for the Mindful Eating course at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.

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