“Documentaries are fascinating because they give us a rare insight into things we wouldn’t otherwise have access to.”
I was always drawn out into the world, to travel, explore and discover the unknown. Until a cardiac event put an end to the adventure.
Using all the willpower and perseverance I could muster, I claimed back my health – and became a successful nutrition coach in Hollywood.
As I had invested a lot of time, energy, and money in my nutrition practice, the logical thing would have been to further focus on my career as a nutritionist.
But deep in my heart, I carried another true passion:
I am fascinated by people’s stories.
“My passion is to make videos and films that inspire us to do things differently.”

That’s why I started all over again as a documentary filmmaker.
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
