“For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to help others! It has held a deep space in my life and I have taken many different life paths to find just the right one! My intention as a child was to go to school to be a Psychiatrist, yet as life would have it I became a young mom and that desire was put on the back burner. I instead became a hairstylist; this is a career that I absolutely love and continue to hold space for. Fast forward 25 years and I became pregnant with my second child and that is when my calling changed! I became sober at 40, not drinking alcohol created a new awareness and a totally new space in my life, and realized I wanted to travel a different life path and move down the path to help others in similar situations! I started attending Southwest Institute of Healing Arts’ Holistic Health and Wellness Coaching program with a focus on Culinary Arts, and graduated with an "A" average in February of 2023! I feel as tho I have circled back to my initial desire as a child and I am now able to help anyone that is desiring change and want that path partner!”

What was your life like before SWIHA? What led you to SWIHA and to your particular program of study? Why are you passionate about this modality?
Prior to SWIHA, I owned and operated a small vegan café in Gilbert, AZ called Coconut Hut. The menu was based on the S.O.U.L. concept, seasonal, organic, unprocessed, and local as much as possible. When I opened the café, my intention was to provide healthy food, something I had a very hard time finding in restaurants around my area. Little did I know that it would attract people with chronic diseases who were looking to find a food sanctuary. A place where they would feel safe to consume the food, where they could nourish and satisfy their hunger. Before I knew it, customers became clients that I would meal prep for, customizing the meals for their specific needs.

What was your life like before SWIHA? What led you to SWIHA and to your particular program of study? Why are you passionate about this modality?
Before SWIHA I was working a full-time job that I wasn't passionate about, just something to help pay the bills while trying to educate myself on a holistic lifestyle, as it was something that peaked my interest. I love the fitness industry and am what you'd call a "gym junkie" however I wasn't impressed with many of the products that are advertised as "healthy" when in reality they are filled with additives that are synthetically made and cause havoc on the gut. I wanted to enroll in a program that had a focus on holistic health, and SWIHA was the answer. I ended up enrolling in the Holistic Health & Wellness Coach diploma program with the specialty of Whole Foods Culinary Specialist.

“My life before SWIHA was very chaotic; I didn't have a lot of direction after leaving a high-demand religion. I struggled with mental health issues and found no sustainable solutions until I started to change my relationship with food, my body, spirituality, and myself. I started making some lifestyle changes on my own yet was hungry for more information on how to take care of myself, my mind, body, and spirit. When I found SWIHA, I felt really drawn to the holistic approach and how the balance of nutrition and mindfulness has a powerful effect on all three. I am passionate about holistic healing through food because the mind, body, and spirit are so interconnected and this is a great way to start discovering yourself and taking good, loving care of yourself.”

“Before SWIHA, life was a little out of focus and I felt a call to do something to help educate others about taking care of their bodies with nutrition. I had seriously considered a traditional course in nutrition at a community college for a bachelor's degree. I didn't see a good fit with that type of schooling and heard through a friend about this school's holistic nutrition courses. I am here because I see all the reactive actions people take in their lives to combat illness and lead a less-than-desired lifestyle, I truly wish to make a difference for the current generations as well as move forward to be a proactive society.”
