Hi, I'm Briana.
I’m a San Diego–based health coach and yoga instructor, a former collegiate volleyball player, and someone who cares deeply about the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I support people in reconnecting with themselves and finding an approach to well-being that feels personal and sustainable.


ABOUT ME
Learn to slow down and go inward
Before moving to California, I spent two years living in Spain, where I came to appreciate the art of slowing down. I saw how eating intuitively, making time for things I loved, and surrounding myself with supportive people could nurture well-being. I learned that caring for yourself doesn’t have to be complicated; simple, meaningful choices can help you feel more connected to yourself and your life.
After moving to California, I worked in hospitality and event management, followed by corporate wellness. During those years, I experienced burnout, low energy, and anxiety. Food noise felt constant, and I often turned to food for comfort. While I was pushing myself hard and dealing with chronic stress, I went two years without a period. That experience became a wake-up call to slow down and pay closer attention to my body.
As I began changing my routines, work, and relationships, my relationship with food began to shift. The food noise started to fade, and I made more room for connection, activities that energized me, and people who filled my cup.
My own health journey continues day to day, and I still have challenges of my own. I keep noticing what brings me joy, what I want to make space for, and what I’m ready to let go of. As life changes, I practice listening to the signals and sensations in my body and meeting myself where I am. I’ve found that having supportive tools can help me navigate challenges with more confidence and care. That’s what I hope to help my clients build, too: a set of tools that feels personal and supportive through life’s different seasons.
