I’ve dealt with trauma before and had to manage stress in my life and read a lot of different books to help resolve my problems. I’ve dealt with different health problems before and learn learned a lot through reading or my personal journey about mental and physical health. I’d love to provide help or support to someone else struggling with these type of challenges and help someone else feel less alone. I’ve navigated the medical and mental health system before and know the struggles that come with that and learned a lot.

I’m a certified Nutritional Therapist and Grief Educator with a deep personal understanding of loss. After experiencing the deaths of several family members, I found myself in an ambiguous grieving process that I later learned is aptly referred to as “ambiguous loss.” Through that journey, I discovered the healing power of food and its ability to help us regulate our nervous system. Reconnecting with my physical self became the key to moving through emotions I had unknowingly carried since childhood. Today, I help others do the same in honoring their grief while nourishing their body as a pathway to resilience and renewal.

As a father of two daughters, one of whom has autism, I’ve learned that supporting my daughter requires more than just advocacy—it requires a healthy, balanced approach to my own well-being. When I first began navigating my daughter’s autism diagnosis, the stress was overwhelming. My work as a corporate lawyer, combined with parenting responsibilities, left me exhausted and burnt out. Functional medicine became a game-changer for me, helping me improve my energy, mental clarity, and overall health. I found that by focusing on my own health, I could show up as a stronger, more focused advocate for my daughter. I’d love to share how functional medicine can help other parents manage their health so they can be the best possible support for their children.

Becoming a parent for the first time was a solo journey for me, especially as the first in my friend group to have children. My child was diagnosed with milk allergies, which created stress and overwhelming challenges—constant meal planning, monitoring, and dealing with the emotional toll on our family. This struggle also affected my relationship with my husband, as we both navigated the anxiety and uncertainty of what was safe for our child to eat. Over time, I learned to adjust and gained confidence. I found support in others who faced similar challenges, and now I help other parents create manageable routines for kids with food allergies, offering strategies to reduce the stress and uncertainty that come with it.

Growing up in Romania, food was more than nourishment—it was comfort, tradition, and a connection to home. When I moved to the United States, I faced the excitement of a new life but also the ache of missing my roots. At first, I tried to fill that void with food, holding onto flavors and meals that reminded me of family and familiarity. Along the way, I was diagnosed with diabetes, which forced me to face not just my health but the deeper emotions tied to eating and self-care. That journey taught me resilience, self-awareness, and compassion for myself. I chose to become a health coach to help others navigate their own challenges, combining my personal experience, cultural sensitivity, and heart-centered guidance to create lasting, meaningful change.

I once weighed 200 lbs heavier, relied on 28 medications, and struggled with multiple autoimmune diseases, feeling like my health and life were slipping away. Five years later, and four years after a miraculous healing that defies medical science, I am in the best shape of my life. I help others find their own healing by creating a nurturing, safe space that addresses the deep programming and shadows that may be sabotaging your desired life before it even manifests. I support you in clarifying your goals, bringing presence and purpose to your life, and I do it all with love.
