I was born and raised in sunny San Diego, California. I currently reside next door to my 85-year-old mom and her world-famous cat, Misty, who is widely featured on my YouTube channel. We moved to Iowa last year after enjoying the warm climate of southern California for most of our lives.

I started practicing Transcendental Meditation when I was 4 years old. This sparked my interest in exploring different mindfulness practices, communication, health, and well-being.

I am an ISSA-certified nutritionist and health coach, and I have helped many friends and clients learn about the plant-based lifestyle. I’ve been vegan for over 15 years – and haven’t eaten an animal in almost 30 years!

I came to this lifestyle after many medical errors (nine surgeries) and health challenges (I was the sole survivor of a car accident), lost 45 lbs., and healed spiritually and physically from the past damages.

After overcoming many common struggles, I love to “pay it forward” and help others do the same. I am especially supportive of keeping you accountable for the goals you set.

In my spare time, I like to discover new fruit trees, write new books based on viewer questions, make entertaining videos featuring mostly funny animals, and challenge myself to learn technology.

I also have a YouTube channel for fruit - it has everything you ever wanted to know about the raw and vegan lifestyle! I’ll even come out of hiding and show my face on camera for a good interview if it will help a lot of viewers.
