Statistically speaking I should not be here, but I am so thankful I am.
My story has been featured in prominent news outlets such as CNN, NBC, KTLA, CBS, Medium and Shape, and I am a national ambassador for Go Red and a Board Member for the American Heart Association.
I have survived 5 heart stents and 3 invasive heart procedures, all before turning 36 years old. I am only alive today because I listened to my intuition and to my body, and more importantly I advocated for myself.
My heart condition has led me to do extensive research on the heart and to nurture ongoing relationships with cardiologists, nutritionists, and other fitness experts. My knowledge is now shared regularly as a Go Red Ambassador and Passion Speaker for the American Heart Association, and also when leading panels and lecturing around the country as President and founder of Goomi Group. I earned my BA in Psychology from the University of Santa Barbara, and over 400 hours of Yoga and Spinning certifications from YogaWorks and Y.A.S. I believe that I have the power to inspire people by providing them with the opportunity to be both healthy and happy.
With a new lease on life and a calling to help others, I launched a corporate wellness company Goomi Group, to make a healthy lifestyle accessible to everyone. With 17 years as an executive in a high-stress corporate environment for companies such as Deutsch, Omnicom, Conde Nast, and The Washington Post, I offer a unique, positive perspective and empathy for those in the workplace while getting people excited to build a healthy lifestyle. Goomi serves up Wellness Made Simple, with movement and motivation for corporations to help their employees find balance, bringing experiential health fairs, yoga, meditation, fitness classes, nutrition, massage, cooking demonstrations and more, directly to offices across the country. The Goomi Squad has grown to over 500 fitness instructors nationwide serving clients such as Hulu, Experian, Aetna, Forever 21, Sony PlayStation and Bank of America.
