About Me

I am a Preventive Care Specialist, a Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist, and a Certified Nutrition Specialist. I live in the Los Angeles area with my young twin daughters and husband. They are the loves of my life! I love nature and being outdoors. I enjoy running, hiking, yoga and Pilates. I am passionate about my work. I have been on both sides of the fence when it comes to being happy and healthy. I know without a doubt that we can change! My mission in life is to help people truly change their lives so they can feel peace, joy, vitality, and freedom.

What Brought Me To EBT

I became involved with EBT in 2006 and became certified in 2007. I was working as a Preventive Care Specialist for a medical group that offered Solution Training (now EBT). I loved the method and almost immediately began the certification process. As a Preventive Care Specialist, I focus on the prevention of chronic disease. I believe that we must change the brain if we are going to change any health behaviors. EBT changes the brain!
