Your Instructor: Backstory

Welcome, thank you for joining the tribe- we are thrilled to guide you on this incredible journey toward a healthier and more sustainable approach to eating.

I have been following a plant-based diet for over eight years and began my journey in my sophomore year at Southern Connecticut State University. I was captivated by the remarkable capabilities of the human body and how we can optimize its performance through proper care when I switched my major from nursing to exercise science.

The plan was never to become vegan or cut meat out of my diet - I was learning so much about the effects of what you put into your body and felt the need for change. The average full-time college student often becomes accustomed to consuming the available campus food, which is not always the healthiest. Options such as cheeseburgers, meatball subs, cheese fries, and heavily dressed salads easily accommodate our taste cravings.

The body can only endure so much before it starts to do what it can to obtain the necessary nourishment or lack thereof.

Once I began to prioritize the mind-body-soul connection, I became more mindful of what I put into my body. This lifestyle transition took 4-6 months for research, experimentation, and understanding what works for my body. Once I decided to change my diet, I never looked back.

Now fast forward almost nine years later, I am a wellness coach with a bachelor's in Exercise Science and a mindfulness enthusiast. I am passionate about helping others improve their health with a plant-based lifestyle through mind, body, and soul connection.

In this course, I will provide the knowledge and tools you need to transition to a plant-based lifestyle. We will explore the benefits of plant-based eating, learn how to plan balanced meals, and discover delicious and nutritious plant-based recipes. By the end of this course, you will feel empowered to make healthier food choices and create a sustainable plant-based diet that works for you.

I am excited to share my expertise and support you on your journey to better health. Together, we will explore the wonderful world of plant-based eating and discover how it can elevate your diet and improve your overall well-being. Let's get started!
