Meet Your Coach

As the proud founder of Ventura County's top-rated weight loss center, I'm passionate about sharing the lessons and strategies that were pivotal in my transformation and helping others achieve LIFE CHANGING RESULTS!

When Everything Clicked


Life’s full of “aha!” moments, and I had a big one on June 1, 2017. Growing up, I was a skinny kid. But as time went on, I started to put on weight and struggled with depression and anxiety. By 2017, I tipped the scales at 280 pounds. I didn’t recognize the guy in the mirror, and I knew something had to give.

What kicked my butt into gear was a health scare. My blood pressure was sky-high, and I was freaking out. The thought of not being around for the long haul was just too much. I knew I had to take control.

Taking It Step by Step


I started my weight loss journey by making small changes to what I ate. I swapped out “junk” food for healthier options like oatmeal, chicken breast, and rice. As the weight started to come off, I got more and more pumped to keep going. I dove into learning about nutrition and how to eat right. And guess what? I lost 80 pounds just by changing my diet, no gym needed!

This experience showed me how vital nutrition is when trying to lose weight and improve overall health, so I went ahead and got certified as a nutrition coach and started my weight loss coaching career. After three years in Business, Transforming numerous clients Lives, I was voted 2023’s Best Weight loss Center In Ventura County. If your trying to change your life and need help, I’m the weight loss coach you want to work with, I pride myself, in providing the best experience possible and lasting results.
