She attended Walnut Hill School for the Arts and Boston Conservatory for dance before heading back to the West Coast where she became a certified personal trainer in 2012 and completed her yoga teacher training in 2015. She loves helping clients on their unique health and wellness path.  She believes that health is a product of regular exercise, good nutrition and mental/emotional well being. As you work with Sierra she will help you to identify and change behaviors empowering you to reach your personal health and wellness goals. Sierra completed a certification in Nutrition through Precision Nutrition in 2018 in order to better help clients learn how food affects our bodies and work with them to build healthy nutritional habits.

Like millions of Americans, I was overweight and suffered as a result. After years of making excuses and trying just about every weight loss program, I gave up and accepted the fact that I would be overweight for the rest of my life until I started developing health problems. 

At the same time, I noticed that my teenage daughter had picked up my bad eating habits so I decided that I had to make a conscious effort to change the path for both of us. 

I started the Optavia Program. The program not only helped me to lose weight, but it taught me better eating habits and more importantly,  it taught me how to break the cycle of bad habits that led to my overeating.  After achieving major weight loss and learning to live a healthier lifestyle,  I decided that I wanted to become an Independent, Certified Optavia Coach to help others reach their Optimal Health.

When living in Japan in my 20s, I suddenly found myself with a paralyzing fear of flying. Given that my family was in the US, I knew I had to take action. I met with a hypnotherapist and after one week, the fear had subsided and I was able to fly again.

​

Little did I know this would be a fixed point of time in my life as I would eventually circle back to become a certified hypnotherapist myself.

Through the HCH Hypnotherapy Institute, I developed skills in gaining rapport, listening and observation, and guiding clients in relaxation techniques, guided visualization, meditation techniques, stress management and mind-body pain management.

​

I also have additional trainings and certifications including: Certificate in Stress Management, Medical Hypnotherapy Certification, Energy Therapy Certification, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Sandplay Training, Energy Boundaries & Chakra Clearing, and Ericksonian Pain Management.

I am also a Reiki Master, published author, and Founder of ThanksForTheMeal.net.

​

Not one to stop there, though, I also graduated with a life coach certification from the Wisdom of the Whole Coaching academy.

When it comes to living your best life, it’s essential that your mind, body, and spirit flow in harmony with one another – this is why I offer Zen Coaching services.
