I've Been There Too

Growing up, I struggled with unwanted weight. I know firsthand the sting of teasing from peers and, even worse, the shame and isolation that often come with it. Despite trying every diet, counting calories, and pushing myself through endless exercise routines, the weight never truly disappeared.

This battle followed me throughout my life, even during medical school and my demanding career. It was always there, quietly stealing my peace and making every day feel like a struggle.

Then, everything changed when I discovered life coaching for weight loss. I finally learned a science-based approach to eating and weight management that I hadn’t been taught in medical school—an approach that focused on more than just calories and exercise. Most importantly, I learned how to address the root cause of my weight struggles.

I lost 45 pounds—and more importantly, I’ve maintained that weight without the constant mental battle around food. The overwhelming thoughts about my weight? Gone. The obsession with dieting and depriving myself? Gone. Today, I live a naturally healthy lifestyle without the stress, hunger, or guilt that used to rule my life.

This freedom around food has been truly life-changing for me. I now enjoy a sense of peace and balance with what I eat. I’ve stopped thinking of food as the enemy, and I’m finally able to enjoy life without constantly worrying about my next meal or the number on the scale.

After creating this life-changing transformation for myself, I did the same for my son. I learned how to create a healthy environment for him—without the fight, guilt, or shame that often accompanies food choices.

This is why I’m so passionate about helping parents create the same transformation for their children. Kids can’t do this alone—their brains are still developing, and they need guidance and support. But once healthy habits are established, the struggle vanishes, and lasting health becomes simple and sustainable—for both you and your child.

If I can do it after decades of struggle, I know that you can too. Let’s take this journey together, so you can create peace and freedom around food for both you and your child.
