I feel so excited to have joined the Crest team to support Dr. Adriana in such a cutting edge approach to whole health! I have been dedicated to health and wellness for the last 20 years and am amazed at how much there is to discover about my whole self and how to optimize my wellness. From a young age, I experienced food sensitivities, digestive troubles, and bouts of brain fog. In addition, though my family was full of love and connection, I experienced traumas that affected my sense of self and ultimately my health. I found the healing path in my early twenties when I became interested in Ayurveda and became dedicated to cooking and eating whole foods. I began practicing yoga and learning how to fully inhabit my body. I gained tools that helped me experience deeper levels of safety in my body and trust in my instincts. I found massive improvement in my overall health and became hooked on all things wellness. Through a number of experiences with healing modalities such as yoga, breath work, EMDR, massage, talk therapy, and extended time in nature, I became dedicated to the connection between my mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health.
In 2005, I started to dedicate my studies to the nervous system, trauma, and holistic heath. In 2010, I completed a graduate program in Santa Barbara, CA in Somatic Psychology. I became certified to teach Yoga in 2011, knowing that Yoga was a way I could teach others how to connect with their own health and wellness. I now train people in the philosophy and techniques of Yoga though teacher training, mentorship, and group classes at Yoga Sol.
In January of 2022, I set an intention to learn more about gut and hormone health. I was thrilled to discover Dr. Adriana and her inspired and educated approach to wellness. I never had much trust in the conventional medical approach because I felt there was not enough attention on the whole person. Functional medicine’s approach to discovering the roots of symptoms has already helped me in finding ways to improve my health. Dr. Adriana has taught me so much about health and how to help myself by giving me more tools to better support myself during times of stress. I am so happy to be a part of this amazing team and our mission to help people truly help themselves!

As someone who has been on and continues to walk the path of healing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, I am so excited at the opportunity to join the team at Crest Health and Wellness. My journey of getting to know myself and healing began when I first became a mother and only turned into a deeper focus when I became pregnant for a second time. As someone who has dealt with chronic pain, fatigue, period problems, severe acne and brain fog with no real help from the medical world aside from medication, much of my healing has been put into my own hands. So I dedicated myself to leaning deeper into the work of healing to better understand my body and my menstrual cycle.
In 2017, I dedicated myself to studying different ways to heal the body and mind and continued my healing path through the studies of Integrative Nutrition, meditation, yoga teacher training, birth and postpartum certifications, reiki and emotional intelligence training. The information and practices have changed my health and continues to bring me even deeper opportunities to heal myself and help others. My main mission in my own work has been to help women disconnect from the chaotic structures of life and create a place of power and flow through mindfulness, movement, spirituality and nutrition. I am happy to be serving my community on their own paths to healing here at Crest. May we all get closer to healing and living happier and healthier lives, together!
