Background

First thing you should know about me is that I’m passionate about two things: weight loss and motherhood. 

Over the past 20+ years working with clients to lose weight, I've witnessed incredible transformations--physical, mental and emotional.  Yours can be next.

As an Internal Medicine physician with an interest in helping women optimize their fertility through weight loss, I know about the processes and procedures used by OB/GYNs and REIs.

As a mother, I know what it’s like to have things not go as planned.

My first son was a 24-week preemie. I’m all too familiar with the emotional and physical lengths we’ll go for our child (he’s 16 now and going strong). After all the heartache we have a happy ending—and so can you.

Another important thing to know is that I walk my talk.  I lost 50 pounds myself and have kept it off for over 12 years.  I know the journey first-hand and can relate to yours in a nonjudgmental way.  Whether it's emotional eating, trigger foods, or over-eating I have felt and dealt with them all. 

Between my own experiences and those of my clients, I have developed clear and easy to use processes that help you succeed.

Education History:

My formal higher education began at Tufts University where I received my BA in social psychology.  I earned my Medical Degree from University of California, Irvine and completed my Internal Medicine training in a residency program through UCLA. Subsequently, I obtained a Masters in Public Health there while finishing a research Fellowship.  I have worked in private and University settings since.
