Hi! I’m Andrea
I’m a two-time breast cancer warrior and certified integrative nutrition coach.
I was diagnosed with stage 2 hormone-positive breast cancer at 42. No strong family history. No warning signs. Just… cancer.
I had a double mastectomy and went through 16 rounds of chemotherapy
Physically, I got through it.
But mentally? That’s where things got challenging.
Once treatment ended, I spiraled.
Not just emotionally, but into this black hole of extreme food rules, fear-based thinking, and trying to control everything I possibly could—because I was terrified it would come back.
I obsessed over ingredients, Googled until 2 a.m., and convinced myself that every bite I took was either saving or ruining my life.
Seven years later, I was diagnosed again—this time with triple-negative breast cancer.Â
But instead of staying stuck in that fear, I started digging into the actual science behind breast cancer and nutrition.
I took everything I had ever heard about diet and cancer and ran it through a fine-tooth comb.
I paired that with evidence-based nutrition training and began separating facts from fear.
That’s when I realized something big: I was avoiding foods that could actually support my recovery—
and still eating things that had no place in my healing.
I wasn’t nourishing my body—I was trying to control it.
Everything changed when I let go of the obsession and started focusing on what actually matters: balanced, evidence-based choices that support both body and mind.
Â
I earned my Integrative Nutrition Health Coach certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and I combine that with lived experience as a two-time cancer survivor.
So when I say I get it, I really get it. And I’m here to help you move forward—with clarity, strength, and food freedom.
