About Me

Hi my name is Iris!

I am located in Northern California and am capable of supporting clients online worldwide. My education, experience as a practitioner and my personal health journey have inspired me and created the foundation for what I do today- one-on-one nutrition coaching. I am fully committed to my clients reaching their health goals and I have strategies, educational information and recommendations on diet, lifestyle, supplements and mindset to create life-changing habits for better long-term health.

I grew up in a holistic household and have been learning and experimenting with more natural ways of living most of my life. My early interest in health led me to California State University, Chico where I earned a Bachelors of Science in health science with an emphasis in health education. While in school, I counseled students with addiction and minor infractions due to substance use to help them create more positive forming habits.

I studied abroad in San Sebastián, Spain and Sámara, Costa Rica and traveled throughout Europe, Central America and Southeast Asia. During my studies and travels abroad I have been inspired by the cultural differences in healing and treatment modalities. When my health started to slide backward, I enrolled in an online holistic nutrition program at The Institute of Holistic Nutrition where I became a Certified Nutritional Practitioner. I furthered my education by studying herbs and dove deeper into gut health by completing a certification as a Restorative Wellness Practitioner.

On my own personal health journey, I have experienced many of the pitfalls related to unhealthy habits which has given me the in-depth understanding of self-healing and transformation. I had an overwhelming amount of symptoms: bloating, fatigue, cystic acne, depression, extreme PMS, brain fog, the inability to read words on a screen, etc. I found out from functional lab testing that I was dealing with mycotoxin (mold) toxicity, imbalanced hormones and gut permeability. After much success in finding my way back to feeling like myself again through diet, lifestyle adjustments and supplement protocols I am eternally grateful for the holistic health field.

I want to help you find your way back to your optimal health too. I am confident that my knowledge and experience can successfully guide you to reaching your own health goals or through your health struggles to find balance and wholeness. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Lots of love 🌸
