My Story: Striving but Struggling

From day one, I’ve been driven. I pushed myself to succeed—earning a spot at a top college and building a strong professional career. From the outside, I looked confident and accomplished. But inside, I was struggling.

I had lived with an autoimmune disorder called Crohn’s disease for most of my life. I felt anxious, insecure, and overwhelmed. I used control—especially around food—as a way to cope, leading to disordered eating patterns that only deepened my stress.

The Turning Point

For years, I ran on overdrive. I pushed through symptoms, ignored the warning signs, and wore stress like a badge of honor. Eventually, my body forced me to stop. After a series of autoimmune flare-ups, I hit a breaking point in my thirties.

That pause made space for reflection—and a realization: I had spent years pushing my body and mind beyond their limits in pursuit of success. Something had to change.

Becoming a Health Coach

I left the business world and enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. There, I learned the science of nutrition—but more importantly, I learned how our lifestyle, habits, and mental well-being shape our health and performance.

I became my own first client. I experimented, adjusted, and slowly began to heal. For the first time since my diagnosis, I had zero gut inflammation. Just as importantly, I felt stronger, more balanced, and more connected to myself than I ever had.

Starting Mula Health

I created Mula Health to help others get rooted in their own well-being. (Mula means “root” in Sanskrit.) It’s the foundation of my coaching philosophy: when we feel grounded, safe, and aligned with who we are, we’re able to thrive.

I focus on supporting young professionals because I’ve been in their shoes—and I’ve seen firsthand how many high-achieving people feel tired, anxious, disconnected, and stuck in “achievement mode.” They’re succeeding on paper but running on empty.

My Mission

At Mula Health, I help you reconnect with what truly matters—so you can feel better, perform better, and live with more energy and intention. Together, we work to:

• Prioritize your well-being as a pathway to greater personal and professional fulfillment

• Set values-based goals that lead to lasting change in areas like career, movement, relationships, and mindfulness

• Optimize your nutrition to support performance, resilience, and emotional balance
