I’ve learned firsthand that no matter where you are in life, you can feel better, think sharper, and protect your brain. Functional Nutritional Therapy combines ancestral wisdom with modern science, giving you the tools to nourish your brain, improve mental clarity, and set yourself up for long-term health.
My journey into this work began when my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Determined to help him, I dove deep into the science of nutrient-dense, whole foods and their powerful impact on brain health. But when my father passed away suddenly before I could fully apply what I’d learned, I was shattered.
I truly believe that if I’d known then what I know now, his experience with Parkinson’s could have been very different.
While I couldn’t change the outcome for my father, his journey sparked a fierce motivation in me. What I’ve learned has not only transformed my own approach to living with more energy, mental clarity, and vitality, but it’s also driven me to help others.
I want you to benefit from the knowledge I’ve gained—so you don’t have to wait until it’s too late.
I’m deeply passionate about food—not just as fuel, but as a love language. To me, food is about connection, community, and celebration. Sharing meals is one of the most powerful ways to nourish and strengthen bonds. Cooking colorful, delicious, and nutritious meals for others is one of my greatest joys.
Raised in the sunshine valley of Cochabamba, Bolivia, where fresh homemade meals were a daily tradition, I learned the art of transforming simple ingredients into soulful dishes from my amazing Austrian mother.
For me, food is more than just taste. It’s about creating moments of connection, sharing love, and nourishing the body and soul.
With a background in corporate marketing and nonprofit work, I understand the pressures and stress of juggling multiple roles—especially heading into midlife when those stresses start to mess with your health. Stress impacts how we think, how we feel, and how our bodies function. But with adequate nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle, you can build resilience against stress and protect your brain for the future.

Let’s work together to nourish your brain, fuel your body, and build lasting connections—using nutrient dense, whole foods as your foundation.
You can feel better—today and for many years to come.
