What’s Behind Beyond the Plate?

Welcome! I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about me and my approach.

I feel strongly that, in order to be our healthiest and happiest and to want to lean into a lifestyle that will support feeling our best, we need to nourish ourselves with food that’s nutrient dense—as well as to “feed” ourselves in other ways. What’s on that menu? To name just a few…

• Nurturing our relationships

• Moving and strengthening our bodies 

• Proactively managing stress 

• Finding outlets for creativity or spirituality

• Making time for learning, adventure, fun, and anything else that whets your “appetite”

Having started my career as a mental health therapist, I saw firsthand just how interconnected these areas are with our physical health. We could be eating perfectly balanced meals but, if we’re lacking a sense of balance or fulfillment in other parts of life, we’re not going to feel our best. As a certified life and health coach, my goal is to empower you with the information and tools you need to live your ideal vision of health—in a way that’s fun, flexible, and free of restrictions.

I earned my Master of Science in Nutrition Education from American University, a Master in Social Work from New York University, an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential through the International Coaching Federation, and certification as a Holistic Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City.
