My passion is to empower, inspire, entertain and transform people. I am the culmination of my life experience and expertise.
I am a passionate:
- Certified Integrative Health Coach
- Professional Recipe Developer
- CEO & Founder of Mac-n-Mo’s
Mac-n-Mo's is a health and wellness company I created in honor of my dear late dad, Mac, a diabetic, after he survived quadruple bypass surgery. As a creative problem solver and trailblazer, I walk the walk and make mistakes along the way, always learning from my experiences. Sometimes mistakes are our Morselicious gems.
As a medical miracle survivor from a life and death botched up surgery and person with celiac, I am constantly creating ways to find a solution which is my guiding philosophy.
I am also a Creative-Hyphenate, Actor-Singer-Writer-Filmmaker and Educator, aka "Edu-Tainer."
As a chef prepares a meal, I understand the value of integrating my creative passions, talents, and skills by optimizing and managing each burner on my stove and in my oven. Sometimes the health coaching course is simmering on the front burner while the performing project is incubating in the oven and vice versa. Not one to waste my talents and skills, maintaining creative flexibility has proven to be a golden asset.
As a key-note guest speaker and published writer, I have created and taught workshops and classes including:
Immune Boosting- Health and Beauty
- Eating a Rainbow for kids & adults

I do not believe in deprivation or fad diets, and my clients are amazed they are never hungry once they integrate my 85/15 rule; 85% of the time, eat clean-real, low-sugar, low-sodium foods, plenty of exercise, and 15% wiggle room.
My first two cookbooks include a 21-day Morselicious Detox with over 125 recipes, 6 recipes per day and 12-days of Morselicious-ness. I'm currently working on my third cookbook featuring my Morselicious Paleo, Keto, grain-free, gluten-free, no-sugar, low-sodium, vegan, no GMOs, preservative-free, baking & cooking mix.
