About Waller
As a child, Waller loved to cook, travel and be outside. She excelled in school, yet questioned conventional wisdom and loved to challenge her fears. She revised her story by exploring various cultures to uncover secrets of health and happiness and ancient methods of alternative healing and empowerment.
Waller discovered she could travel to wild places in her mind through meditation and bring balance and ease to her body on her yoga mat, and spent over 12 years traveling the world and studying yoga and meditation with a wide range of teachers.
She struggled as a teenager with anorexia and bulimia. Waller always knew deep down that the secret to recovery was not in anything other than her own heart, it took over a decade and many, many teachers to encourage Waller to trust herself and to learn to love her body and to cultivate the teacher and guide within.
Ultimately, the coaching process helped Waller to heal and integrate her mind, body and Spirit. She is a certified Health Coach accredited by the American Association of Drugless Healthcare Practitioners through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition of Columbia University Teacher’s College. Her teachers include Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Walter Willett, Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford and Geneen Roth. Prior to attending Integrative Nutrition, Waller healed herself from bulimia by learning to nourish her body using whole foods and yoga.
Waller has worked as a health coach and yoga instructor to senior citizens, women in recovery from prostitution, drugs, alcohol and eating disorders, children and men and women of a wide range of shapes and sizes. She is now dedicated to helping women cultivate a healthy relationship with food and their bodies through food, yoga, meditation and self care.
