MY STORY

The Origins of Rose-Wellness

Growing up in an Italian family, I've always had a deep connection with food. Family meals were a requirement for everyone (no exceptions!). I found a lot of joy through baking (both of my grandmothers were bakers, IMHO two of the best). I loved experimenting with different flavors and recipes, I even started a weekly baking competition with one of my former co-workers. This lead to 33 desserts in three days and my personal favorite, the summer of pie (create one baked pie daily). Naturally, I gravitated toward culinary school to further my education.

​

After graduation and several internships (San Francisco Chronicle | Diablo Custom Publishing), I worked freelance by writing articles and developing recipes. While this was quite fun, I felt something was missing. There was an urge to help people. I didn't feel I was uplifting people by cooking alone. This realization and my own struggle with digestion and feminine issues lead me to years of trying to heal myself naturally and through food. I delved into Ayurveda and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Eastern medicine provided the bridge I needed to connect the gaps I felt in my mind and soul. 

I took a leap of faith and signed up to receive my holistic health coach certification from IIN (Institute for Integrative Nutrition). I will receive my complete certification in August 2021. 

It is my honor to help my clients throughout the San Francisco area (and beyond) achieve their wellness goals. I specialize in creating personalized bio-individual plans and provide the necessary tools and resources to guide, support, and assist you in achieving your desired goals. I want to be the helping hand I felt I didn't have through my own journey.

The essence of my work is to facilitate self-growth by helping you identify your core mind, body and spirit challenges, so that you can overcome them with confidence. Only then, will you be able to fully embrace who you are and start living a happier and healthier life.
