We left Malibu when I was 7 to move to Winston-Salem, NC. I attended Summit School then Emma Willard in New York
(20th year reunion this summer!), then George
Washington U. in DC. After college I moved to NYC and did some modeling
and music videos. 10 months in NYC was a bit much so I moved to LA for a brief
graphic design career, half an MA in Acupuncture and another half in Archetypal
therapy. I met Tim, an acupuncturist, at school in LA and we’ve been together
for 12 years. He’s a dream. We moved to Austin
and then Santa Rosa,
where I opened the Yoga studio. We had a beautiful wedding at a vineyard
in the hills of Sonoma
County, sold the studio,
moved back to LA where I began my 6 years of great sounding, but really crappy
jobs. Some assistant work, marketing, editing, placenta encapsulation and
helping my mom put together her memoirs. We moved to the Chicago suburbs in 2009 and bought an
adorable house and adopted an adorable dog. Finally, all of my job karma paid
off and I got hired by a husband and wife financial planning team as their
client coordinator. I am currently studying for my series 6,63, and 65 so I can
make something of myself –haha. No really, things are looking up.
Health Tips:
1. Start the day with a smoothie of 2 raw eggs, raw, organic full-fat milk and fruit. If you're in the mood for something hot the Keith Baker fallafel pancake using the Co-op mix rocks.
2.Balance out your neuro-transmitters - you'll sleep like a baby and be happy all day.
3. Get your bloodwork read by a functional medicine expert, not your bonk-ass MD!
4. If you feel a cold or sore throat coming on chop up a clove of garlic and swig in milk or OJ, take some Yin Chiao and you're good to go.
5. Buy organic! I know it costs more but it makes a huge difference for you and the planet.
6. You are a reflection of the 5 people you hang out with most so watch out for the crazies - they're everywhere!
