Life is an adventure of awareness, and being open to personally evolving throughout life allows us to experience tremendous health, freedom, clarity, and joy. I’m here to support and guide you through this powerful, abundant, celebratory process using the comprehensive and integrated system of Juice Feasting. The direct experience of this practice blows away any ideas, concepts, and descriptions of what it’s really like. With personalized recommendations and active listening, I will “co-voyage” with you as you discover new heights of nourishment, balance, and strength. I can’t wait to know who you are and witness who you shall become!
I am not your average health coach.
For my whole life I have been split between rock-and-roll culture and wellness culture. Trying to just go with one or the other always left me feeling restless and dissatisfied. I love the intensity, enthusiasm, attitude, and excitement of rock-and-roll. I love the food, mindset, relationships, and possibilities of a holistic lifestyle. Somehow I figured out how to do my own thing and fit in everywhere, even though it has seemed pretty weird and impossible.
What got me into healthy living?
When I was age 10 an idea entered my mind from pretty much out of nowhere: “The body is a temple; keep it pure.” I had an unstoppable crush on the late actor River Phoenix, and he turned out to be one of my lifelong inspirations. Because of him I joined activist groups like PETA and Greenpeace, got into plant-based foods, and read groundbreaking books like Diet for a New America all before I started high school. What really struck me, and totally broke my heart, was that River lived his life passionately committed to fighting for justice but died tragically at age 23 from a drug overdose. I couldn’t understand how someone I viewed as so pure could succumb to addiction. This event was a turning point that motivated me to study and explore the complexities of the human experience with curiosity and compassion.
How did this become my work?
At age 21 I got deeply into yoga and nutrition, and there was no turning back. My life and self were going to change in ways I couldn’t predict or imagine, but I was ready for whatever came next. Fast forward a few years and I did a 4-week raw food detoxification program that catapulted me to unprecedented realms of creativity and spirituality.
Continued research and study led to my discovery of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center and the work of Gabriel Cousens MD. I hit the jackpot. I felt so strongly the call to immerse myself in a community of like-minded health-conscious progressives that I moved from Chicago to a tiny town in Arizona to work, live, and study at the Tree for over a year. It was here that I met none other than the Juice Feasting founder himself, my friend and colleague David Rainoshek.
After my time at the Tree I moved to Portland, OR so I could take what I’d learned and bring it out into the mainstream world. I worked at the National College (now University) of Natural Medicine while operating my own business, Field of Greens. I taught food prep classes and detoxification programs, saw clients one-on-one for personalized nutrition and lifestyle consultations, and offered energetic healing sessions.
I hold certifications as a kundalini yoga and meditation instructor, Reiki Master, and raw-food chef. I am a longtime Buddhist and interfaith practitioner with ministerial ordinations in two faiths. I completed the same Master’s program as David Rainoshek, so all the cutting-edge nutrition information and psychospiritual processing of that curriculum is essential to my work.
What else about me?
I am absolutely spoiled and blessed to live in Austin, TX with my two cat children. Things I’m really into include music and concerts, weird films, ethnic food, writing, taking pictures, dancing, spending time in nature, having deep conversations, and laughing loudly.
