Professional Background + History

My passion and love for learning about health and wellness began in college at Arkansas Tech University in 2006. I graduated in 2011 with a B.S. , Wellness Science and then began working in several different areas of the wellness industry including personal training and fitness, nutritional supplementation/formulation, and corporate wellness education. After years of trying many wellness jobs on for size, I decided I wanted to guide and support people through the experience of consciously deciding to improve their healthy lifestyle habits, so I then became certified as a Life Coach and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2017. I began working part-time as a health coach while opening in 2019, Radiant, my community’s (Bastrop, TX) first juice and whole food smoothie bar and have owned and operated it ever since. I collectively have over 15 years of education and experience in the holistic wellness industry.

Why Health Coaching

I love being a health coach because I enjoy deep, genuine connection with others focused on self love and improvement for the betterment of the collective. There’s nothing that lights me up, motivates and inspires me in life more than to see people showing up authentically for themselves, doing the work, and creating the rich wellness lifestyle that they desire while enjoying the rewards of radiant health and well-being. I believe that everyone deserves health freedom. After experiencing a personal health crisis in which I had to use holistic healing methods to navigate healing, and after witnessing my grandmother endure stage 4 colon cancer and medical interventions that made her condition worse and contributed to her death - a passionate fire was lit within me to become an advocate for preventative health care and natural, holistic living that honors the mind-body-soul-spirit connection. I believe that health coaching is my divine purpose and am extremely passionate about having a positive, life changing impact in the lives of my coaching clients.

Family Life

I am a mother of two girls, Izabella (8) and Lilyanna (6), and they are both the best blessings given to me! I love being a mom, and I consider it to be my first and most important priority in life, besides caring for myself, to help them grow and develop into healthy, loving, kind and conscious women. We currently live in Bastrop, Texas and love spending a lot of quality time together doing things we enjoy like swimming, hitting up arcades, exploring nature and more! Izzy is a nature lover and you can always find her out in the backyard or at the river looking for tiny creatures to create micro habitats for. Lily loves music and theater and she enjoys singing, playing the piano and re-enacting her favorite musical movie scenes. Did I mention that they are my world?! Children are a gift from above.
