Health, wellness and fitness have been an integral part of my life. I grew up playing competitive sports; basketball, softball, flag football, track & field, bodyboarding and volleyball. I was a division1 scholarship softball player at Cal State Fullerton.After college, I got my personal training certification which I held for over 30 years. I was a physical therapy aide, personal trainer and I owned my own gym for 11 years. As a personal trainer, my main focuses were on seniors and/or people with orthopedic issues.All of the exercise is well and good; my clients were getting stronger and that alone made their lives a bit easier. However, you can't out-exercise a bad diet. So, I got my nutrition coaching certification from Precision Nutrition and followed that with a health coaching certification from Functional Medicine Coaching Academy.After having watched many family members suffer from Type 2 Diabetes, and having been diagnosed myself at age 35, I decided to focus on helping diabetics by assisting their transition to a whole food plant based diet. Today, while I still work with diabetics, I've expanded to work with anybody interested in reclaiming their health by transitioning to a whole food plant based diet.I've run several workshops and challenges: 5 Steps To Prevent & Reverse Type 2 Diabetes, Simple Steps To Plant-Based Eating, Optimize Your Immune System, Eat Your Veggies Challenge, Eat Your Way To Better Health Challenge.I offer private 1-on-1 health coaching for anybody interested in improving their health by adopting a whole food plant based diet.I also have a membership for Type 2 Diabetics that walks them through each step to prevent or reverse their condition: mindset, formulating a plan to transition to a whole food plant based diet, conquering challenges, offering support through weekly Zoom calls and much more.Lastly, I send out weekly emails that are educational, informative and researched based on different aspects of health and wellness.
