About Me

I’ve spent a lifetime learning and talking about how unhealthy our society/country/culture is. As a result, I’ve also spent a lifetime reading, researching, and trying out ways to eat and live healthier than the average person in the United States. I’ve also had an aversion to pharmaceuticals – the companies themselves more than the medications – and have read into alternative health treatments.

Having said that, its important to know that I am not a typical skinny, granola-eating, make-up shunning, hippie naturopath. I am a fairly regular person. In fact, I love make-up, my favorite drinks are red wine (rotating preference), Deep Eddy Lime vodka + soda, and a good margarita, and I can dig into a bag of tortilla chips with gusto. (If you eat chips with salsa, that’s healthy. Right?) I do love doing yoga, though, and that was my preferred form of exercise until I joined Hotworx!

So why did I want to become a health + nutrition coach? It started as a blog - because I enjoy writing and was looking for a way to keep in practice - and then I had some life changes that inspired me to follow my dream of studying nutrition. As a Realtor, I continue to help people to achieve their goals around home ownership, and as a Coach I get to help people with the bigger priority in their life: their health.

Some bullet points. I...

• grew up in west Texas
• moved to Austin in high school (via San Antonio)
• earned a degree in Anthropology from UT-Austin (minor in Geography)
• love to travel, especially to visit family in England and France
• studied abroad at Oxford University
• lived in NYC for 4 years
• worked with a lot of famous movie people as part of a film industry non-profit

And now, I live in a suburb of Austin, Texas. I have two kids, and am step-mom to 4 more. I’ve worked as a graphic designer, program manager, and for the past 6 years I have enjoyed the career choice of becoming a Realtor. I believe that my highest calling is to love Jesus and all people.
