The world says "everything in moderation" is the key to health.
I say ...
"Moderation only leads to moderate results."
And once you're in the midlife hormone transition, “moderate results” can feel like nothing is changing at all, no matter how hard you try.
Let's be honest
Your clothes fit differently.
Your energy is unpredictable.
Your sleep is off, your moods are a rollercoaster, and the scale seems to be inching in only one direction.
It's time for a real, lasting solution!
If you've spent years trying to eat and live healthy and now don't feel like you...
You are not alone
And you've probably tried a lot of things:
The latest diet trends
Conflicting advice from influencers
Cutting this, adding that, and constantly tweaking your diet based on the latest viral trend
And of course the "moderation" approach.
Somehow you're still:
Pulling clothes off the rack and thinking, "That's it. I need to sort my diet out."
Dealing with hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, or midnight bathroom trips.
Wondering if this is "just a stage of menopause" and you have to live with it.
All the while taking care of everyone else around you - aging parents, growing kids, clients - and wondering "Where do I fit in?"
If that's you...
Oh, friend, I see you. And you're in the right place.
The wellness industry is loud...
Well, I'm here to drown them out.
I help women going through the midlife hormone transition lose weight, calm symptoms, and feel like themselves again with a low-toxin, plant-based lifestyle.
I cut through the noise of confusing food labels, manipulative marketing, and influencers following the latest viral trend.
No confusion. No gimmicks. No starvation plans.
No "just love your body, it's fine" while your labs and joints tell a different story.
I use a foundation of clear science, real food, and systems that actually work in a real woman's life.
This isn't about hopping onto another diet trend.
It's about finally understanding how food, toxins, and habits interact with your hormones - and using that knowledge to create a new normal.
This isn't just a new diet. It's a whole new you!

Cut through food industry and influencer spin...so you can stop second-guessing what to eat and start thriving.

I'll give you the tools and guidance to confidently build a plant-based, low toxin lifestyle you love.

YOur Menopause-friendly, Plant-Based Roadmap
My PLANT Power Path helps you make a plant-based, low-toxin lifestyle simple, sustainable, and crave-worthy during the midlife hormone transition.
Step 1
Get Clear on What Works Now
No more guessing, Googling, or cherry-picking headlines.
You'll understand how whole-food, plant-based eating and low-toxin choices support:
- Weight loss and maintenance
- Symptoms like hot flashes, sleeplessness, and energy
- Long-term risk reduction for heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers
You'll finally have a clear "this is what my body needs now" picture.
Step 2
Build a Kitchen Environment & Lifestyle That Makes Success Easy
We create an environment that makes the healthy choice the easy choice:
- Pantry and fridge refresh
- Smarter storage and cookware
- Supermarket strategy (aisles you live in, aisles you skip)
- Go-to meals, sauces, batch-cooking routines
This is where your pressure cooker, air-fryer, blender, and/or Thermomix become your best friends instead of dust collectors.
Step 3
Thrive With Support & Strategies
This isn’t a 30-day challenge and "good luck out there."
I’ll give you guidance and tools to help you:
- Navigate social events, travel, and busy seasons
- Stay consistent when life throws grief, stress or change your way
- Keep adjusting as your body and hormones continue to evolve
The goal isn't a short term 'before & after.
It's a new normal that feels like you again!
Why It Works
Truth Over Trends &
Science Over Clickbait
Nutrition shouldn’t be based on headlines or influencer soundbites.
I'm trained and certified by:
- Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
- T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies
- Food Revolution Network's Plant-Based Coaching
- Rouxbe and Matthew Kenney Culinary Schools
- Talking Toxins for Health Coaches
I translate evidence-based culinary nutrition and lifestyle medicine into everyday choices that work for women in the midlife hormone transition.
Globally Inspired with Full Flavor
Great food is more than just fuel, it’s culture, connection, and joy.
After living and travelling internationally for over 20 years, I bring a global perspective of foods, flavors, and techniques to your plate.
Training with world-renowned chefs and exploring local cuisines of Asia, India, Europe, and beyond has reinforced one core belief:
- Eating well should feel like a delicious adventure, not a bland chore.
Whole Foods, Whole Body Wellness
This is not about "health food."
It's about whole, real food that supports your whole self:
- Body
- Mind
- Mood
- And yes, the planet
A whole-food, plant-based approach is less about restriction; it’s more about abundance, nourishment, and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal, repair, and thrive.
Research-backed methods help you build a lifestyle that promotes energy, longevity, and overall well-being.
No Fads, Just Sustainable Habits & Real Results
Quick fixes and one-size-fits-all diets don’t work.
That’s why I focus on long-term, achievable strategies that fit real life.
- No extremes
- No gimmicks
- Just practical habits that stack up for lasting health
The science-backed PLANT Power Path helps high-achieving women create a plant-based lifestyle that’s sustainable, effective, and, most importantly, works for them.

From Dairy State to Plant-Based
The inside scoop on me
Hometown Pride: Milwaukee, WI, USA...aka the Dairy State. Fitting, right?
Guilty pleasure before going plant-based? → Kopps Frozen Custard. Think ice cream on steroids. Twice a day when I was home visiting. Once for a cone, once for a sundae. No regrets. (Okay, maybe a few regrets.)
What changed? Honestly, like most people, I just didn’t know about animal agriculture and the connection to poor health. But once I learned the truth about food, health, and the industry behind it all that dictates our choices… there was no going back.
Unexpected, but totally on brand: My honeymoon! Spent in Zimbabwe on an Earthwatch research trip, we camped in the bush with scientists tracking black rhinos—and armed guards to protect us from poachers! (I swore I’d never go to a zoo again after seeing animals in their native home.)
Most used kitchen tool? My high-speed blender. Smoothies, soups, sauces...game changer!
The wellness trend I roll my eyes at? Juice detoxing! Fiber, found only in plants, is nature's natural daily detox mechanism.
The toughest part of changing your diet? The unhealthy food environment that surrounds us and constantly pulls us back.
The one piece of advice I wish everyone knew about plant-based eating: → You’re not giving up anything. You’re trading up!
So...where to next?
