My heart for Zen Soul Balance is to inspire others to live healthy lives.

Though this certainly includes diet and fitness, the larger vision is to encourage individuals and communities to reach beyond nutrition and exercise, to consider the whole person – a lifestyle that acknowledges and embraces the unity of body, mind and spirit as the catalyst for optimal health and wellness.
Profoundly influenced by my younger sister, Olivia, and her struggle with cerebral palsy, ZSB was birthed as a means of caring for people from all walks of life, who desperately want to live above physical and mental dis-ease but don’t know where to begin or what to do. I believe that every individual possesses the ability to heal themselves from within and be resilient in the face of life’s toughest challenges. Just as a lotus flower begins its growth at the bottom of muddy, murky water, and slowly emerges toward the surface as a beautiful blossom, I aspire to guide people to a beautiful life despite their story, wounds, challenges and fears.

As ZSB matures, the commitment to making a positive contribution to the world continues by expanding wellness offerings and adding passionate and qualified professionals to help guide individuals and communities through the deep inner work required for healing and health. ZSB offers support and coaching practices that are custom tailored to help people find freedom so that they can experience unprecedented levels of joy, boundless love for life, and a brave reconnection with themselves.
