Feel like yourself again
When you’re “fine” on paper but exhausted in real life, I help you figure out what’s draining your energy and rebuild it in a realistic, step-by-step way.
Prefer to talk first?
If you don’t feel like yourself anymore, you’re not alone.
You might be here because:
You wake up tired, even after a “decent” night of sleep
You feel flat, foggy, or strangely unmotivated
Your energy crashes in the afternoon
Stress hits harder than it used to
Your digestion, cravings, or mood feel “off”
You’ve tried supplements, diets, or new routines… and nothing sticks
You’re worried something bigger is going on (even if your labs look “normal”)
You’re not broken.
You’re likely running low on capacity — and it’s possible to rebuild it.
What we focus on first
Energy isn’t one thing. It’s the result of multiple systems working together.
Together, we’ll look at the most common “energy drains,” such as:
blood sugar swings and under-fueling
sleep quality and circadian rhythm
stress physiology (wired-but-tired patterns)
digestion and absorption (when food isn’t translating into energy)
overload, recovery debt, and inconsistent routines
the gap between what you know and what your life can actually support right now
This is practical, grounded work — not a “perfect plan” you can’t execute.
My approach:
clarity → stability → momentum
Most people don’t need more information. They need:
a calm, accurate read on what’s happening
a plan that fits real life
consistent support while it becomes normal
We’ll move through three phases:
1) Clarify
Identify your most likely energy drains and your highest-leverage starting points.
2) Stabilize
Build a small set of “energy basics” that reduce crashes and improve daily functioning.
3) Build momentum
Layer in habits and strategies that hold up through stress, travel, social life, and real schedules.

Why coaching helps
When your energy is low, you may sense that something needs to change, but you don’t know where to start.
everything feels harder
decisions take more energy than you have
“good advice” competes with real life
consistency breaks down under stress
My approach is informed by functional medicine principles — a systems-based way of understanding how nutrition, metabolism, stress, sleep, and digestion interact — and applied through coaching and health education rather than medical diagnosis or treatment.
This kind of coaching creates a calm, accurate read on what’s actually draining your energy, and then translates that into a plan you can realistically follow.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing the right things in the right order, at the right level of effort.
With coaching, you get:
help identifying the changes that will make the biggest difference
a plan that fits your current capacity (not an idealized version of you)
accountability that’s supportive, not shaming
adjustments when life inevitably interferes
Most importantly, you don’t have to carry the whole problem in your head alone.
Feeling like yourself again usually comes from a series of small, well-chosen changes, made consistently, rather than one big overhaul.
Do these words echo in your head?
“I’m scared I’ll never get out of this cycle.”
“Is something wrong with me?”
“I know what to do, but can’t make myself do it.”
“I feel like I’m broken.”
