Integrative Health Coach | Plant-Based Chef | Sound Facilitator

Hi, I’m Brooke. I’m here to walk beside you on your journey toward deep, sustainable wellness—one rooted in balance, connection, and care for your whole being.

My approach is grounded in both science and spirit. I blend evidence-based coaching tools with intuitive practices, sound healing, and nourishment from the earth to support your healing on every level—physical, emotional, and energetic.

I believe that true well-being is not a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a lifelong relationship—with your body, your choices, your environment, and your inner wisdom.

Through a holistic lens, I’ll help you tune in, clear what’s no longer serving you, and create rhythms and habits that actually feel good and sustainable. Whether we’re working one-on-one or gathering in circle, my intention is always the same: to help you remember your power, your wholeness, and your innate ability to heal.

Let’s walk this path together—with curiosity, compassion, and a deep reverence for the process.

Your healing journey is yours—I'm simply here to guide, support, and cheer you on every step of the way.

My Story

In 2015, my life changed completely. I was diagnosed with leukemia and underwent a successful stem cell transplant—a journey that brought me face-to-face with both the fragility of life and the incredible resilience of the human spirit.

That experience cracked me open. It was a deep initiation into healing—not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. I came out the other side with a new sense of reverence for the body, for nature, and for the unseen threads that connect us all.

Since then, I’ve devoted my life to exploring what it truly means to heal. Not just to get better, but to come into harmony—with ourselves, our rhythms, and the world around us.

My path has led me to train as a certified health coach, plant-based chef, yoga instructor, and sound healing facilitator. I’ve gathered tools and teachings from both science and spirit, blending them into a holistic approach that honors the full complexity of being human.

I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about choosing again and again to return to what nourishes us—body, mind, and soul.

Now, I share what I’ve learned—not as someone with all the answers, but as someone who’s walked through the fire and found beauty on the other side.

Whether I’m guiding a retreat, holding space for sound healing, or working with you one-on-one, my intention is always the same:
To offer grounded, heart-centered support as you step into your own power, your own rhythm, your own healing.

This is sacred work—and I’m honored to walk beside you.

My Vision

I envision a world where healing is rooted in reconnection—
to self, to nature, to community, and to the innate wisdom within each of us.

My vision is to create spaces—both one-on-one and in retreat—where people feel deeply seen, supported, and empowered on their journey toward vibrant, sustainable wellness. Where nourishment is more than just what we eat, and wellness is more than a goal—it’s a way of being in right relationship with our bodies, our breath, our thoughts, and the earth beneath our feet.

I believe that when we combine evidence-based tools with intuitive guidance, plant-based nourishment, sound healing, and time in nature, we open the door to real, lasting transformation.

I’m here to help you remember that your healing is not outside of you.
It’s already within—waiting to be tended, awakened, and honored.

Together, we rise into a more grounded, alive, and aligned version of ourselves—each step guided by curiosity, compassion, and the sacredness of the journey itself.

Hobbies & Interests

I recharge through live music, yoga-meditation, and long hikes beneath sandstone cliffs, giant trees, and star-laden skies. Road-tripping, paddleboarding, roller skating, and snow sports keep my adventurous side humming, while cooking lets me share creativity and comfort. Behind the camera, I freeze those magic moments so their stories can keep unfolding.

Credentials & Experience

Integrative Nutrition Health Coach

I’ve most recently graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition* where I gained an abundance of knowledge and expertise. During my time at the institute, I delved into a wide array of coaching methods, each more innovative than the last. I also honed my skills in practical lifestyle management techniques, discovering effective ways to help clients create positive and sustainable changes in their lives. Additionally, I had the opportunity to delve into over 100 dietary theories, ranging from Ayurveda to gluten-free, Paleo, raw, vegan, and macrobiotics. This comprehensive understanding allows me to tailor personalized nutritional plans that cater to each individual's unique needs, preferences, and goals. I firmly believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition and wellness, and my extensive training allows me to guide and support my clients on their journey towards optimal health.

My Path to Sound Facilitation

My Journey as a Plant-Based Chef

After surviving leukemia and receiving a stem cell transplant in 2015, I became deeply curious about how food could support healing—not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. That journey led me to plant-based cooking, and it completely transformed my relationship with nourishment, vitality, and self-care.

Learning to cook with plants became a daily ritual of love, creativity, and healing. I began to see food not only as fuel, but as medicine, pleasure, and connection. Over time, I trained formally as a plant-based chef and began preparing meals for friends and special gatherings—bringing the same intention and heart to each dish that I once brought to my own healing table.

Today, I cook for retreats, events, and small circles, creating vibrant, seasonal meals that support wellness and delight the senses. It’s one of my favorite ways to care for others and hold space—because food is a powerful form of medicine, and sharing a beautiful meal is a sacred act.

I fell in love with the gong the first time I experienced its deep, resonant vibration moving through my body—it felt like a remembering. The sound bypassed my busy mind and dropped me straight into a place of peace, presence, and cellular release. I knew then that this was something sacred.

My curiosity led me to train with a master teacher in the art of gong playing and sound facilitation. Through immersive study and personal practice, I learned how to hold space with intention, intuition, and a deep respect for the power of vibration as medicine.

One of the most transformative experiences I’ve had was participating in an overnight Gong Puja—a 7.5-hour sound journey where the gong is played continuously while participants rest, dream, and heal in a liminal, vibrational field. That night changed me. It deepened my understanding of how sound can recalibrate the nervous system, soften trauma held in the body, and reconnect us to our truest self.

Now, I offer sound baths and mini retreats where I weave together plant-based nourishment, gong sound journeys, breath, stillness, and nature to create spaces of deep rest, reflection, and renewal. Sound is more than an experience—it’s a portal to transformation.
