The Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him most, he said "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. Then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die & then dies having never really lived."
Like many, in my late teens & early 20's I had a skewed vision of what 'wellness' was. I thought dieting worked, my fears held me back & I judged the hell out of myself. I was constantly stressed, tired & living life at the surface level. I knew there had to be more.
Design school took me to NYC where I started to discover my true self. After buying the book 'Healing with Whole Foods, I experimented with different ways of eating & gained understanding of how the foods I put in my body affected my mood, energy & productivity. Work in the surf industry took me to California where I became more in tune with my body & the environment. In 2010, family brought me back to Detroit where I was certified to teach yoga & SUP Yoga (see my class schedule HERE) and started my vegan catering company, Detroit Gypsy Kitchen. Events & pop-ups were gratifying, but I knew I could make a bigger impact so I took the plunge and dove back into school.
In 2013 I was certified as a Holistic Health Coach through The Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Then in Plant-Based Nutrition through The T. Colin Campbell Foundation via Cornell. In 2016, I created The Empowered Life Planner, which is in its 5th year!!! In 2019 I led my first solo retreat in the Dominican & started teaching online courses. Since then, I welcomed my sisters Liz & Christina aboard! In June of 2021 I was certified as an Intuitive Practitioner and have begun to offer services such as energy clearing & healing. I also have experience as a recovery coach for those in out-patient addiction recovery.
I study & teach manifestation and mindset, mindfulness & infinite possibility (Wayne Dyer & Brian Weiss) & practical lifestyle management techniques (Dr. Christine Carter). I can't wait to support you in living the most vibrant life possible.

CORPORATE COACHING
Employees are the greatest resource of a thriving company. Research shows us that the health of a company directly correlates with the health & happiness of its' employees. Companies that make wellness and personal growth a priority always see a return on their investments.
As a corporate wellness educator/speaker and a 'power through planning' expert, I help companies find their sweet spot through mastering time management, harnessing productivity & creating a wellness focused company culture.
I've created a variety of different corporate programs so employees can more effectively approach work, family & the constant ebb and flow of life. That means more energy & creativity so employees and masterminds can fire on all cylinders. Having a resident wellness coach can help your company & employees thrive & find much needed balance to navigate work & life. Not to mention, lower healthcare costs.
