From the plate to the whole system
What makes this different
15+ years, leading institutions
A Registered Dietitian and well-being coach shaped across top hospitals and universities — including Stanford Children's and Stanford University.
From the ceiling to the system
I left clinical ladder-climbing when systems kept outranking people. Now I train as an organizational psychologist (PsyD, in progress) to fix that by design.
Intersectional by design
An intersectional, social-justice lens — making space for neurodivergence, trauma, gender, income & class.
Relational, not transactional
I partner with you, the expert of your lived experience. Curious questions over directives.
Credentials
I'm a Registered Dietitian and well-being coach with 15+ years of experience across leading hospitals and universities — including Stanford Children's and Stanford University. It started when I was a first-gen college student who spotted a flyer for a free session with a campus dietitian. That one conversation turned food into a doorway to self-discovery — and a career.
After years of climbing the clinical ladder — and an MS in Healthcare Administration — I hit a ceiling: systems kept getting prioritized over people, and I was burning out firefighting instead of creating change. The turning point wasn't dramatic. It was an ordinary night, worrying about my wife handling bedtime while I worked late, that I stopped trying to fit a broken system and rebuilt my work around coaching.
Today I bring that same both/and heart to a wider lens — training as an organizational psychologist to help not just individuals, but the teams and systems around them, design well-being on purpose.
