About Me

For more than 35 years, I’ve been studying the body—its intelligence, its signals, and its extraordinary capacity to heal.

My journey began long before I had a title or a credential. As a child, I watched my grandmother slip into dementia, her mind and metabolism unraveling in ways that left a deep imprint on me.

That early experience ignited a lifelong commitment to understanding health, vitality, and what truly sustains us over the long term.

Later came the moments that shaped me—a fellow camper’s back massage that taught me the power of caring touch, a rowing coach who introduced me to yoga as a way to center before a race, and mentors who opened the door to movement, breathwork, Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, and the art of energy healing. And during my years working as an EMT, I witnessed another side of the health system: patients placed on one medication that required a second to manage the side effects, then a third to support an organ struggling under the weight of it all. It was never a fix—always a patch. That experience solidified my belief that true healing requires supporting the whole system, not suppressing symptoms.

Each experience deepened my curiosity and strengthened my resolve to understand the body not as a collection of symptoms, but as an interconnected system guided by rhythm, regulation, and energy.

Over the decades, that passion led me to train all over the world . I explored everything from cellular nutrition to ancient energetic systems, from mitochondrial support to emotional repatterning—all while navigating my own journey as a woman, a practitioner, and a mother of three who intimately understands exhaustion, overwhelm, and the longing to feel balanced again.

But the deeper I went, the clearer it became:

True healing starts with the metabolism.


If the body is inflamed, depleted, or dysregulated, no amount of supplements, energy work, or protocols can land in a meaningful or sustainable way.

This realization is what ultimately led me to create the RISE Method™—an approach that places metabolic balance at the foundation, and then layers in emotional integration, nervous system support, and energetic alignment only once the body is ready.

Why I Created the RISE Method -

The RISE Method grew out of my belief that healing must be both science-led and soul-supported.

I saw too many people trying to fix their bodies by stacking supplements, detoxes, treatments, and trends onto systems that were already overwhelmed. I knew there had to be a more grounded, more humane approach—one that honors physiology first, and then integrates emotional and energetic medicine in a way that actually works.

When I discovered Metabolic Balance®, everything clicked. Its precision, simplicity, and lab-based personalization offered the metabolic reset most people were missing. When combined with EFT, root-cause work, and high-touch coaching, it created a pathway not just for symptom relief, but for lasting transformation.

The RISE Method is the culmination of all of my training—metabolic science, cellular nutrition, Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, energy psychology, biomagnetism, movement therapies, and decades of supporting people through stress, burnout, chronic imbalance, and emotional overload.

My Philosophy: Metabolism first. Always.


When the body is balanced—when minerals align, blood sugar stabilizes, and inflammation calms—the nervous system can settle, the mind can clear, and emotional patterns can finally shift.

From that foundation, we bring in:

  • Personalized nutrition & metabolic analysis

  • Nervous system support through EFT and energy psychology

  • Root-cause work and biomagnetism where appropriate

  • Lifestyle and mindset practices that restore capacity, clarity, and confidence

My approach is gentle but powerful—never forcing the body, never overwhelming it, and never trying to layer treatments onto a system that isn’t ready. Instead, we nourish, support, and build from the inside out.

My Commitment to You:

I am here to offer high-touch, personalized, evidence-informed guidance that honors your biology, your story, and your lived experience. My work is grounded in compassion, clarity, and accountability. I walk with you—step by step—as you rebuild energy, balance your metabolism, regulate your emotions, and step into a more vibrant, empowered version of yourself.

You deserve to feel clear, steady, resilient, and deeply connected to your own vitality.


And I’m here to help you rise.

For over 25 years, I’ve been on a deeply personal journey to understand what it truly means to be well—body, mind, and spirit. This path began in childhood, witnessing my beloved grandmother’s decline into dementia. That experience sparked a question that has guided my life ever since: What sustains the mind and preserves our vitality as we age?

Fueled by both science and soul, I earned a B.S. in Neuroscience from Trinity College and later a Master’s in Acupuncture from the WON Institute, studying both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element Acupuncture. As a former collegiate athlete, I experienced firsthand the power of yogameditation, and mindful movement for emotional resilience and peak performance.

Over the decades, I’ve trained extensively across modalities—from yoga, massage therapyReiki, and MELT Method to BiomagnetismRoot Cause Protocol, and Clinical EFT. I’ve studied in India, worked at renowned wellness centers like Kripalu and Canyon Ranch, and even founded Sati, a holistic center in Lenox, MA. Each chapter of my work has been anchored in a simple yet profound mission: to help others reconnect to the healing intelligence within.
