While not an active part of my primary practice today, a huge part of my early career centered around movement and nutritional therapies—specifically related to women’s health and well-being. In fact, it was in this space that I quickly realized the need for a more comprehensive approach to complement these tools and how my career went from "health and fitness" to something much deeper.
My background includes advanced exercise science, kinesiology, myofascial therapies, neuromuscular therapies, and medical movement, as well as nutrition and sports therapy. These were core areas of my work for many years and remain a deep passion of mine today.
In addition to movement and rehabilitation, my study of orthomolecular medicine—the science of how nutrient therapy impacts mental health—has been a foundational area of research for me. The intersection between nutrient deficiency, chronic illness, mental health and stress were key areas of focus for me. This was also a critical part of my own healing from chronic illness and clinical depression, and ultimately, what led me to launch my nutraceutical company, Zen In A Bottle—a product line designed to support brain and body health for stressed-out and nutrient-deficient individuals.
A large part of this early career was dedicated to helping women struggling with disordered eating, food addiction, binge eating, and the constant cycle of yo-yo dieting. I paired therapeutic movement, nutrition, and metabolic science with the nervous system & brain-based work I use today. This approach addressed the deeper layers behind these struggles, including trauma, nervous system dysregulation, emotional eating patterns, and deep-rooted subconscious beliefs about food and body image and had a success rate far beyond that of a typical fitness or weight loss approach.
Today, I still work with many women who are stuck in this exhausting cycle, using my method to complement whatever exercise or nutrition approach they are following—helping them finally find freedom from the constant battle with food and their bodies by addressing healing at the root.
I share this because exercise and nutrition are absolutely two of the foundational pieces that influence both mental and physical health. While this is not an area actively included in The Satori Method, I am constantly educating and using my knowledge in this field to help people understand the profound impact of movement and nutrition on their well-being.
They are a cornerstone of my own life and are just as powerful for healing and transformation as everything else I’ve listed here.
