To my core, I believe that we can truly create anything we want in this lifetime and realize any dream we have. That doesn’t mean it’s easy—but what it does mean is that if we make the choice to become the best version of ourselves, we can literally fuel ourselves and our dreams and NOTHING can stop us. And if I can help you arrive at that version of yourself, then I am truly happy. 

I wasn’t always feeling this healthy and happy, or living out my dream of a creative career while helping others and traveling the world...

In fact, at one point, I had a job I hated, I felt completely lost, was abusing my body with dieting and stimulants, and felt the furthest thing from being happy. I was watching people online create their dream lives while I sat in a cubicle, constantly sabotaging myself from moving forward toward my dreams and numbing any feelings of pain that I did have with partying, shopping, or Bravo.

It was a dark place that I hovered in for years. That is until I found plants. When I began moving toward a whole food plant-based diet, I started to notice how things were making me feel. I began to strip away the toxicity from my life. First, it was the relationship I was in. Then I moved on to the substances I was at times abusing (from alcohol to ADHD meds) and anything that was pushing me further from myself. After that, I focused on getting rid of the toxic behaviors, people, and habits I had accumulated in my life, one by one. 

Going plant-based gave me the clarity I needed to see what was toxic in my life. It was gradual and slow but it literally gave me my life back. After stripping away the poison, I started to find the real me again. I began going to therapy to figure out why I went down the path I went down, and started forging a brighter road in front of me. Suddenly—I could see the future and was actually excited about. 

Having an eating disorder in college and my early 20s, I was so destructive with my body and mind. And miraculously, over time with eating a whole food plant-based diet, I began to want to nourish my body and put things in it that helped me to thrive. The plant-based lifestyle allowed me to break from the shackles and chains I had around food (that first developed when I was in college studying nutrition) and get my life back. Not only get it back, but get to know the real me inside—the dreamer who wants to experience a magical life, create things for this world that help others, and be the best version of herself. 

Nowadays, I’m probably eating a papaya or sipping on celery juice while dreaming of ways I can help other women become their happiest, healthiest selves with a plant-based lifestyle so they can run after their dreams.

Plants were the thing that kicked off massive change in my life which had a waterfall effect on EVERYTHING. And that is why I am so committed to spreading the message around holistic living, putting yourself and your health first, and going deep in your soul to really define what you want in this beautiful life. 

I eat papaya for breakfast almost on a daily basis —
I used to be a total Sex & The City fashion obsessed girlie
— I really, really wanted to create a vegan bag and shoe line 
(I even bought a huge role of pineapple leather from Italy, 
but quickly realized I have no idea how to make shoes) —
My favorite place on earth is The Maldives, it’s so magical
— As a kid I couldn’t go on a family vacation without my 
Little Mermaid duffle bag filled with Barbies and books —
I love electronic house music (esp. tropical electronic), 
my fav concert ever is a toss up between Kygo and Odesza
