The Story Behind Rising Roots Nutrition

Why I Do This Work

For much of my life, I believed fatigue, digestive issues, mood swings, and constant stress were simply normal. Growing up with immigrant parents, an alcoholic father, and later struggling with thyroid issues and infertility, I knew there had to be more to health than being told I was "fine."

After finding healing through a root-cause approach that combined functional nutrition with holistic care, I conceived my children and experienced firsthand how powerful the body can be when it's properly supported. The loss of my mother to pancreatic cancer further strengthened my purpose, showing me how chronic stress and poor metabolic health can silently impact our lives.

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Integrated Marketing Communications and a Master's in Multicultural Counseling and Diversity from San Diego State University before becoming a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and Certified Breathwork Facilitator. I founded Rising Roots Nutrition to help people move beyond symptom management and address the root causes of their health challenges.

Today, I work with busy moms, executives, entrepreneurs, and elite athletes—including NFL players and Olympic hopefuls—to restore energy, balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and build sustainable habits that support lifelong health.

My mission is simple: to help people understand what their body is telling them and create lasting healing from the inside out.
