ABOUT

I'm Jess! I'm a certified holistic health coach, nutrition coach, and certified personal trainer based in Los Angeles. After working as a trainer for over fourteen years, I knew that the diet/fitness industry was not where women could find lasting healing to their health concerns. 

​

I am so passionate about my work because I once was running off stress hormones, and had no idea.

 

I would go from one extreme to the other with my health. I would binge then restrict. I would exercise like crazy then get so burned out I wouldn't leave the couch. I would obsess over eating perfectly, then go on the f*ck it diet and eat whatever I wanted. 

​

I struggled with binge eating for over a decade. I kept trying to fix myself and cover up my shame with a new diet. I dealt with chronic gut and skin problems for years after that. My healing began when I started to focus on regulating my nervous system.

 

I had to completely reevaluate what health meant and looked like for me. I decided it was time to take radical self responsibility for my health. No more diets. No more 30 day plans. No more cleanses or resets. I decided it was time to stop with the half measures and trends, and go all in with my health. 

​

Today I feel safe around food and no longer fear that eating one cookie is going to lead to a binge. I have a regular cycle that I am  in tune with after over 2 decades on birth control. I’m definitely not perfect! I stay up late way more than I should and can’t ever give up a good pasta dish. But I know that the foundation of safety I've created for my body allows me to enjoy my life, without dieting anymore or feeling like I'm chained to some hardcore wellness routine. 

​

And I am here to help you do the same! 

​

My mission is to empower women to take charge of their health and to create safety in the body. 

​

Taking care of yourself can be simple, stress free, and actually 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 fiancé, soaking up the sun at the beach, and rewatching Sex and the City!
