Holistic Wellness Coach • Culinary Educator • Operations Strategist • Founder of Rooted Horizons & Blue Olive Harvest

I’ve always believed that transformation begins with nourishment—of the body, the mind, and the places where we root ourselves. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the intersection of food, wellness, and human behavior. Not because I chose it early, but because it’s the life I’ve lived, studied, and refined for decades.

I’m the kind of person who finds joy in farmers markets, whole ingredients, seasonal rhythms, and slow rituals. I’m also the kind of person who thrives in systems, structure, and clarity. Rooted Horizons is where those two sides of me—creative nourishment and strategic transformation—finally meet.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Marketing and a Master’s in Organizational Development, which means I’m trained in human behavior, motivation, change, and the psychology of growth. Before launching Rooted Horizons, I spent more than 30 years in leadership, customer success, operations, program design, and corporate coaching. I built programs, led teams, created learning ecosystems, and helped people and organizations transform through structure, clarity, and intentional action. This taught me something essential: 

People don’t change because they’re inspired — they change because they’re guided. 

• Holistic Cooking & Integrative Nutrition
  Science-backed, whole-food nutrition with a seasonal, farm-to-table focus.
  
  
• Yoga Teacher Training & Mind–Body–Breath Integration
  Combining movement, mindfulness, and breathwork to support emotional and physical wellbeing.
  
  
• Seasonal, Whole-Food Culinary Arts
  A deep love for organic, local, and seasonal cooking—brought to life through practical guidance and farm-fresh inspiration.
  
  
• A Lived Practice in Holistic Living
  This isn’t theoretical for me—I live the lifestyle I teach: mindful eating, movement, nature, and simplicity.
  
  
• Personalized Coaching for Real-Life Transformation
  Helping individuals shift habits, nourish themselves, and create sustainable change through education, structure, and support.

I do not promote fad diets or quick fixes.

I teach people how to nourish themselves, truly and sustainably.

I started Rooted Horizons because I saw two needs being overlooked: 

1. People want wellness, but they’re overwhelmed by misinformation. 
2. Small food, hospitality, and wellness businesses want to grow, but they’re drowning in operational chaos.

Both require clarity, leadership, and grounded guidance — and that’s my craft.

• True whole-food nutrition education   
• Seasonal + intuitive cooking   
• Nervous system regulation  
• Breath, movement, and energy work   
• Behavior change + accountability   
• Systems, structure, and clarity   
• Real talk and grounded truth   
• A lifestylechange that is sustainable, not performative  

Because food is how I connect, celebrate, and bring people together, I founded Blue Olive Harvest — my farm-to-table catering and events company.

Whether it’s:

• an intimate dinner
• a seasonal grazing board
• a brunch gathering
• a milestone celebration
• a special event
• or a soulful tasting experience inspired by the garden

I bring fresh, seasonal, local, organic ingredients to the people and moments you care about most.  Blue Olive Harvest is where culinary artistry meets gathering — thoughtful food for the occasions that matter.

I’m a mom, a gardener, a chef at heart, a wellness student-for-life, and someone who feels most grounded in nature, in the kitchen, and in community. I love Spain, Portugal, Italy, soulful music, nourishing rituals, and the simple beauty of being connected — to food, to people, and to the earth beneath my feet.

Whether you’re here to transform your health, your lifestyle, or your business — or simply to bring beautiful food to a special gathering — I’m here to guide you with warmth, clarity, and purpose.

Rooted Horizons is where nourishment becomes transformation.

Let’s go!
