The story of “Allways Live Well”
I remember sitting in my doctor’s office… my blood pressure soaring off the charts, heart pounding, thoughts spiraling. An overwhelming fear consumed me.
My doctor had just told me I needed surgery right away to remove pre-cancerous cells in my body.
It was at that moment, over a decade ago, when I realized the way I was living had to change.
I was out of alignment with who I was and what I really wanted. Now it was really showing.
In that moment I realized there must be another way.
I figured out quickly that living well wasn’t just physical wellness.
It was my mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness that mattered, too!
Here’s what my wellness journey looked like:
I researched, experimented, saw psychiatrists & therapists, ended relationships, started new relationships, ate different food, counted calories… stopped counting calories, moved from city to city, changed jobs, changed careers, went broke, started saving, bought a house, sold a house, changed careers again, went to workshops, read books, prayed, finally connected to my spiritual practice, moved across the world, visited healers, trained with experts, and kept following my heart.
After a decade of healing and learning through my own (LENGTHY) journey, I developed the courage and skills to start living my purpose.
I said goodbye to the stressful corporate world and became professionally certified as a Health & Wellness Coach and a professional educator.
Then my intuition guided me to move across the world, where I met my life partner and my life purpose. And committed to Allways Live Well.
This is how “Allways Live Well” came to be!
To Allways Live Well is to commit to living mentally, emotionally, and spiritually well, in all ways, for always.
My purpose now is to teach & guide you to Allways Live Well.

You can start right now, with safe, loving support.

About my Certified Health Coach Training
I graduated in 2015 from the world’s largest nutrition school and certification program for my Integrative Health Coach training. For a full year I studied dietary theories and lifestyle management techniques from the world’s leading physicians, researchers, doctors, and nutrition experts at a University-level.
My training and experience has taught me extensively about how to address wellness from a multi-faceted, individualized approach. My coaching program is licensed and accredited, which means it’s of the highest industry standards.
In addition, I sat for the IAHC Certifying Exam to earn my Certified International Health Coach distinction.
What is a “Certified Health Coach?”
You may be wondering, what is a “Certified Health Coach?” Not all Health Coach certifications are the same.
A Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach (like me) is a supportive mentor and wellness authority helping clients feel their best through food & lifestyle changes by tailoring individualized wellness programs to meet their clients’ needs.
According to Harvard Health's research, “It is important to note that coaches take privacy very seriously, and they have a professional code of ethics…
Coaching appears to be as effective when administered remotely by phone or the Internet when compared with face-to-face coaching. This provides great flexibility, as coaching can be performed in person, over the phone, or via videoconferencing.”
