Recently I had the amazing honor of being named by MindBodyGreen and Athleta as one of the 100 Women in Wellness to Watch.

Being selected amongst the ranks of such notable women as Arianna Huffington, Lena Dunham, Gabby Bernstein, Kris Carr, Jessica Alba, Jane Goodall, and a host of other fabulous ladies was an incredibly humbling experience.
