ABOUT

I'm Jess - I’m a certified holistic health coach, nutrition coach, and personal trainer based in Los Angeles and I help women stop overcomplicating their health so they can finally heal and get back to living their life.

 

After sixteen years in the fitness industry, I realized what so many women already suspect: the diet and fitness world is not where lasting healing happens. You can lift, eat clean, and follow every “rule” in the book… and still feel exhausted, bloated, and anxious in your own skin. 

 

I know because that was me.

 

I lived in extremes with my health: binging then restricting, exercising like crazy then burning out, obsessing over perfect eating then swinging into the “f*ck it” diet. I struggled with binge eating for over a decade.

 

Then my 30’s hit and I dealt with chronic gut issues and stubborn skin problems for years. I’ve done the gut cleanses, the candida and parasite protocols. I’ve followed a long list of supplements with all their strict rules - this one 60 minutes before food and this one on an empty stomach!! I’ve done the elimination diets for gut health, inflammation, and food sensitivities. Bye bye gluten, sugar, dairy, eggs, and plenty of other amazing foods I had to avoid. Thousands of dollars spent on labs testing my hair, poop, blood, you name it. It. Was. Exhausting. 

 

My “healing journey” was preventing me from living and making me hyper focused on everything I ate. My dieting obsessions were coming back to haunt me. 

 

I knew that healing shouldn't be so complex. 

 

Nothing changed until I stopped looking for the next diet or cleanse… and started focusing on regulating my nervous system and creating safety in my body.

That’s when everything shifted. 

 

Now, I have a regular cycle I’m in tune with after two decades on birth control. I feel safe around food and can enjoy pasta, dessert, and life without the guilt or the fear that one “bad” meal will undo everything. I’m definitely not perfect! I still stay up late more than I should! But my health no longer controls my life and my thoughts. 

And that’s exactly what I help my clients create:

 

• A foundation of safety so your body can heal and feel good

• A nutrition framework that works in real life (no extremes required)

• Hormones, digestion, and energy that work with you instead of against you​

​

My mission is simple: help women take radical ownership of their health without diets, trends, or half measures, so you can feel strong, confident, and free.

Because taking care of yourself should remove stress from your life… not add to it.

In my free time you can find me sipping on a matcha, hanging out with my cat and husband, writing research papers, soaking up the sun at the beach, and rewatching Sex and the City!
