About
I've spent more than 14 years coaching women, and my own story started in 2010 when I released 86 pounds. For a while, I thought that was the whole story. It wasn't. What I learned is that it was never about what I lost. It was about what I gained: radical self-awareness, deep self-love, and boundaries I had to learn to set and keep. Those are what made the change last.
That's the thread running through everything I do. Healing isn't only physical. It's emotional, mental, and spiritual, and it's hard to do in a world that often tells women, especially Black women, that rest, softness, and taking care of themselves are luxuries. I don't believe that, and I coach from the opposite belief: you deserve this, and the work is worth it.
I've brought that belief into every room I've worked in. I've coached Grammy-winning artists like Ciara, and I've advised major brands on how to support the wellbeing of the women they serve. Whether the client is a global artist, an executive, or a mother who hasn't had an hour to herself in years, the work underneath is the same: how you think about yourself, what you allow, and what you protect.
I'm a certified holistic nutritionist and fitness instructor and a founding Head Coach at Respin Health, Halle Berry's midlife health platform. Before coaching full time, I was the first Global Head of Diversity & Inclusion at WeightWatchers, where I led initiatives centered on Black wellness, including Oprah's 2020 Vision tour and a partnership with the American Heart Association and 40 churches in five cities. That work taught me how much health depends on the environment around us, and how much a woman changes when she feels seen.
Today, I work with midlife women through the layers that sit beneath the scale: weight, menopause, life transitions, and the mindset and boundaries that hold it all together. I'm honest, direct, and warm, and I won't hand you a plan that ignores your real life.
My work has been featured in Essence, InStyle, The Real, and Oprah's Your Life in Focus.
Outside of coaching, I'm the founder of The Homegirl Collective, a virtual wellness community rooted in sisterhood and self-discovery.
If you're ready to look beneath the surface, I'd love to talk.
