I would like to learn more about...

About Me:

I used to work in finance in a corporate office where I gained 15lbs (and was well...miserable) before leaving to start my dream business. Now I own my own company and work with thousands of men and women every year to help them get back on track to eating right and feeling great about themselves.

I am originally from Sedona, AZ and am a bit of a hippie at heart. I love to travel and lived in the south of Spain for 2 years before moving to NYC.

I'm excited about meeting new people and sharing my passion for wellness with the world. Please feel free to contact me and ask me anything!

What Inspires You?

Oh where to start?!

A lot of my drive comes from the memories I have of my father, who passed away the month before I graduated from high school. He always believed in me and instilled that entrepreneurial spirit in me at a young age. His motto was "If you can't find work, create it" and it is something I live by.

The inspiration for the recipes and the food that go into our Sakara Whole Food Cleanses and Maintenance Programmes often come from the seasons. Growing up in the Southwest, I didn't get to experience the seasons as much as I do now in NYC (and I do mean experience! Walking everywhere you go really let's you feel every little change in the weather, good or bad). It allows me to be more in tune with how the seasons affect my body and what foods I crave when seasons change. This inspires my creativity to explore new flavor combinations, textures and temperatures to find what satisfies my hunger at different points throughout the year.
