My Approach: Healthy Living by Design
A science-backed, systems-based approach to building a sustainable, values-aligned healthy lifestyle.
Your Personal Lifestyle Ecosystem
Together, we’ll design the infrastructure of your healthy life – a Personal Lifestyle Ecosystem of routines, environments, and decision patterns that support your wellbeing every day.
When your environment, rhythms, and health practices are aligned with who you are, healthy living stops feeling like a chore. A truly supportive system gives energy back to you, leaving you resourced for the things that matter most.
We create the “tail wind” that carries you forward even during your busiest times.
Science-backed Foundation
My work is informed by well-established, science-backed approaches to behavior change and human flourishing, including Positive Psychology, Flow, Motivational Interviewing, and the Transtheoretical Model of Change.
These frameworks share a core insight: lasting change doesn’t come from external pressure. It comes from inner strengths, self-determination, and environments that support the person you’re becoming.
Systems-Design Perspective
What I add to this foundation is a systems-design perspective — the practice of looking at a client’s life as an interconnected system and designing the structures, routines, and decision patterns that make sustainable behavior change the natural outcome.
What I Bring to This Work
I’m not a typical health coach. My path here was unusual, and that’s part of what informs my coaching style.
Systems Thinking
20 years as a business consultant in the wellness industry, helping entrepreneurs design systems & processes that allowed them to thrive without burning out. I bring that same lens to health coaching.
Scientific Rigor
A deep respect for science and a deep dislike for oversimplification. I studied biology and psychology at the University of Vienna and earned a certificate in Nutrition Science from Stanford University.
Coaching Expertise
Trained as an integrative nutrition health coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Board certified by the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (December 2025).
Lived Experience
My own prediabetes journey taught me that plans aren’t enough — you need infrastructure. That insight shapes every aspect of how I coach today.
