I'm a holistic nutritionist — a listener and a guide. I teach clients how to optimize their daily nutrition and lifestyle in order to achieve their wellness goals. Together we establish and practice a doable, enjoyable and rewarding routine that's intended to be sustainable far beyond our time together. 

Ha! I have a newborn. A typical day is staring at him, airing out my nipples and realizing I'm still wearing my sleep mask at 4 pm. Here's a pre-baby day: I wake up, have a light fresh breakfast and touch base via email with all my clients. I leave the house every morning to work out. When I get back, my loft is my office, and I do private client sessions. I fix lunch between or after my sessions and in the late afternoon I usually do research, listen to podcasts, have consults with potential clients or meet a friend for tea. Most nights, my husband Pali and I cook dinner, and if we don't have company, we watch Seinfeld or a movie.

7–9 hours of sleep nightly

Negative self-talk

They have given me insight into what really works, what the challenges are, the built-in excuses we all grapple with, the emotional roots of our choices and the glory of improvement and vibrancy. I love my clients. This can be deep, connected work... I'm known to cry at the last session.

Gil Jacobs, my mentor and teacher. A true radical!

I love salads and fresh veggies. A day without salad feels like an internally sluggish day! In the summer months, I love chopped fresh veggies — bell pepper, cucumber, fennel, radish — with lime and pink salt. Crunchy and fresh! Sautéed kale and steamed broccolini are also favorites.

Cucumber, celery, fennel, green apple and lime is my go-to green juice.

Arugula, romaine, chopped endive, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado and minced celery or radish with a dressing of olive oil, lemon and pink salt

A macro plate: brown or wild rice, seared yucca, steamed greens and broccoli, sautéed trumpet mushrooms or lentils and sesame salt

Sweetgreen or East Village Organic for the best vegan soup in town!

Ballet Beautiful or a session with my trainer Jess Movold

Eminence face masks. I like to slather one on and soak in the tub. I'm also a Joanna Vargas devotee and love her serums and cleansers.

Seinfeld — always — and The Assassination of Gianni Versace (Penelope!!!!!)

My baby cooing, humming, snorting and squeaking

Breastfeeding forums! And Nurture by Erica Chidi Cohen.

Television!

The next Tulum... wherever that is. Somewhere close with an amazing beach and a simple but beautiful hotel like Coqui Coqui. And good fruit!
