I’m a certified health coach based in Chicago supporting clients globally. I go beyond weight loss support and can help you uncover the real reasons you’re feeling stuck in your health journey.
What’s holding you back from achieving your health goals? You’ve done the research; you’ve tried all the diets. You know what you should be doing to live a healthy life…but for some reason you’re just not able to do it consistently even though you want it so badly.
It’s OK to admit that what you’re doing to manage your weight and live healthier just isn’t working. You’re not alone.
I get it. I’ve been where you are, and even though I successfully changed my lifestyle and ultimately lost the weight, for years I was stuck in a vicious cycle of weight loss/weight gain and was consumed by the thought of food.
I finally broke this cycle and I want to help you do the same because what you’re working through IS solvable.
It’s my mission as a certified health coach and accountability coach to help you discover what is holding you back and keeping you stuck in the cycle of dieting and self-sabotage. Together, we will go beyond weight loss support and accountability coaching and get to the bottom of why you’re able to be “good” most of the time but end up falling off track. It’s not because you just love ice cream too much. I promise! Throughout the process we will make small, sustainable changes to radically transform your relationship with food!
Why? Because most of the information out there about losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle is focused on what you should or shouldn’t be eating – but you likely already know that. Most diets and eating plans are built around deprivation and categorize some food as “good” and other food as “bad.” They lead you to believe that successful weight management is just a matter of willpower and motivation. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.
There are many internal and external factors driving your food and lifestyle choices. It’s my mission to help you identify and conquer them. If you are ready to try something new and are looking for a health coach to offer more than just weight loss support, I am here for you.
I will support you in a non-judgmental way as your accountability coach, and together we will uncover the truth about your relationship with food and why you eat when you don’t want to or can’t stop eating even when you aren’t hungry. It’s only after we uncover these hidden reasons that you can start making the real, sustainable changes that will allow you to achieve your long-term health goals.
If you experience success in many areas of your life, but can’t seem to get a handle on “this food thing,” I can help you!
Are you worn out from…
…Then it’s time to work with a health coach who can help get you back on track and stay there!

For over 16 years, I struggled with my weight and always thought it was lack of self-control. After years of yo-yo dieting and self-sabotaging behaviors, I managed to lose 60 pounds and have kept it off for over 12 years. Even though I achieved my weight loss goals, I found I was still consumed with the thought of food and was stuck in a vicious cycle of eating well for a while and then not caring and eating whatever I wanted.
It wasn’t until I started working with my own health coach that I realized I needed to dig deeper to figure out what was causing me to fall off track. Now, it’s my mission to help others discover why they’re able to resist food some days but then find themselves overindulging on others. The food didn’t change, so what did?
I love digging in to help you uncover what’s holding you back on your weight loss and wellness journey. That’s why I became a certified health coach and why I’m so passionate about helping you transform your relationship with food!
