how it started

Despite how young I appear to be LOL, I’ve spent almost two decades exploring how food, fasting and frequency can extend life and expand potential, first as a creative, then as a chef/founder and now as a longevity guide for people doing big things in the world. While my education includes a BFA from NYC's School of Visual Arts, business at Cornell, (plus helping to build one of the most popular beach properties in Oaxaca, MX), it’s the intuitive edge AKA clairvoyance that’s helped me recognize patterns, extract solutions and guide people toward what they truly need… often before they know it themselves.

Now based in Los Angeles, I’ve worked with everyone from Grammy-winning artists, Silicon Valley founders to Rodeo Drive retirees, helping them ground their energy, age in reverse, align their lifestyle and sustain their output without crashing out. Through private coaching, group work, public speaking and curated ceremonial experiences, I offer a rare combination of science-backed longevity tools and unseen-but-felt insight, delivered with strategy, elegance and edge.

I was born in a town so small it had one stoplight, in rural South Carolina but raised in Chicago, where my early life became a mashup of entrepreneurial hustle, wellness precociousness and low-key mysticism.

At 11, after yet another cheap lunch from my private grammar school, I launched my first food business selling home-made snacks to my classmates and quickly used some of the profits to buy cartons of Rice Dream, an early curiosity with plant-based living and a pair of Nike Air Pegasus running shoes, decades before I’d complete my first marathon. Not wanting to leave us at home, many evenings were spent with my parents at the gym where we ended each visit in the sauna, while on weekends I'd try things like telekinesis with my best friend. Looking back, it all sounds wild… but the food, the movement, the mysticism... it was all already there.

By middle school, my plan was to move to LA for med school but (for reasons I can't even remember at this point LOL) moved to NYC instead to study Fine Art and worked everywhere from food magazines to restaurants. At the time, I thought I was eating well but was still dealing with chronic PCOS symptoms and when my mom got diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time and the fear of inheriting that took over, I decided to ditch the meds, change my diet and lock in on healing. And it worked.

Post college my symptoms disappeared. My energy and skin transformed and I realized this was something bigger than just personal health, it was purpose. I quit my thriving creative career and moved to Oaxaca, Mexico, where I helped run a restaurant, lead fasting retreats and learned the basics of farming. After a few years, I left to fulfill my middle school dream and moved to LA, becoming a doctor my way, by launching Superfood School to bring better health to everyday people.

Fast-forward to today, my favorite thing to serve isn’t food but clarity. I help people protect their energy, align with their mission, and extend their creative life force through better systems, better rituals, and yes, food. My gift is helping people see what’s ready to be released, what’s quietly trying to emerge, and what’s been there all along... waiting to be remembered.
