Hello!
Hi there, thanks for popping in to learn a bit more about me and my passion for helping people just like you achieve your happiest, healthiest YOU!
After devoting almost 20 years to a career in the nonprofit sector working hard for missions close to my heart, I decided to take a giant (read: soul-searching, well-researched, risky) leap into the health and wellness realm. And trust me when I say, I’m not a risk taker. I’m a planner, a save-for-a-rainy-dayer. But I woke up one day and knew something was missing from my life. Aside from raising my amazing sweet girl, I no longer felt I was making enough of a direct positive impact on the world in a way that fueled my soul. I wanted more. I needed more.
That’s when the soul searching and deep thinking kicked into high gear. What do I love? What gets me energized? How can I make a real and lasting impact on the world around me?
And then it hit me. Why is my career not wrapped around the things I constantly talk about, research, and focus on in my life? Why does my daily work not revolve around nutrition, fitness, general wellness, and living the very healthiest life we can live?
It was the light bulb moment of all light bulb moments. We’re talking a bazillion watts here! So fast forward through more deep thinking, researching, planning (because well, you know), tons of studying, learning from industry experts, certifications and more…
And here I am…a certified integrative nutrition health coach, fitness trainer and yoga instructor…a thriving wellness professional! To say I’m over-the-moon ecstatic about my decision to take the leap would be undershooting it by a million miles. The deep sense of fulfillment I feel every day by having the honor and privilege to help people achieve their happiest, healthiest selves is greater than I ever could’ve dreamed!
“I wanted more. I needed more. How can I make a real and lasting impact on the world around me?”
Time to Get Personal
To help put it all in context, I had actually been on this path personally for years (it just took me some years to realize it). Nutrition and physical and mental wellness have been extremely important to me for as long as I can remember. And in my early years of motherhood, I struggled with my own personal journey of self-healing as I navigated through a long list of unexplained physical symptoms that no doctor could ever pinpoint as I was repeatedly labelled clinically “healthy as a horse” according to all exams and lab tests (stay tuned for my book in the works on that long and complicated saga).
Starting to sound all too familiar?? Since you’re here reading this, I know this resonates with you, and my heart goes out to you, deeply. That’s why I’ve made it my life’s work to help people just like YOU.
I, like you, refused to accept that this was just my “new normal” to which I had to adapt. I was determined to regain my vital and thriving life that had been inexplicably stripped away from me at a time when I so desperately needed and wanted it most (keeping up with a little one is no joke, right?). So I began researching data, theories, methods, real-life experiences and new developments, and applying them in my own life to help me try to understand what was going on in my body and to figure out how I could fix it…naturally and permanently.
Somewhere along this journey, I realized there was one thing no doctor ever asked me about…what was I putting IN my body, how were my stress levels, was I happy? Still sounding familiar??
The seemingly crazy thing to me at the time was that I was eating, exercising and generally living a “healthier” life by traditional standards than most people, including my family and friends. So why didn’t I FEEL like the vision of health? Why were the lethargy, heart palpitations, dizzy spells, exhaustion, GI problems, anxiety and more so debilitating at times that I couldn’t even mother my own child adequately or squeeze out an ounce of joy from the day? Because “traditional standards” of healthy living are no way to live! No way to thrive and be your happiest, healthiest YOU.

The Conventional Approach Isn't Working
“The deep sense of fulfillment I feel every day by having the honor and privilege to help people achieve their happiest, healthiest selves is greater than I ever could’ve dreamed.”
My Holistic, Integrative Approach to Wellness
As you can see, I’ve lived through it. And I will help you live through it too. Now! Not tomorrow, or after the kids move out, or after you get that promotion at work, or after you receive the diagnosis or disease management prescription from your doctor. Right now. The sooner you take your own health and wellness into your own hands, the sooner you will feel the amazing benefits and wonder why the heck you waited so long.
It’s ok, you’re human. We all are. No judgment, no blame, no looking back. Accountability, reliable resources and the proper tools are necessary for each and every one of us to achieve success. That’s why I’ve devoted the rest of my life to health coaching.
I am your accountability. I am your gateway to countless personalized resources and tools to ensure that you achieve your goals. I’m also your cheerleader, your guide, your listening ear, your shoulder. I want you to succeed maybe even a little more than you do! One manageable, realistic baby step at a time for lifelong sustainability. One magical “aha” moment at a time to give you that momentum and motivation to keep moving forward. You can do this. Whatever it is you want to achieve for yourself. And I will be there with you every step of the way.
I take a fully holistic approach because as humans we are complex beings with many facets in our lives, all contributing to our overall health and wellness – our nutrition, how we move or don’t move our bodies, but also our sleep quality, stress, home cooking, joy, relationships, career fulfillment, everything that impacts how we feel both physically and mentally. When any one of these is out of balance, I’m sure you know how much it impacts the rest. I will help you regain and maintain that balance for a happier, healthier YOU!
But I can’t help if you don’t reach out. Did something you read here strike a cord, raise a question, make you curious about what I’m doing and how I’m helping my clients achieve their goals of health and wellness…better yet, how I can help YOU achieve YOURS??
“The sooner you take your own health and wellness into your own hands, the sooner you will feel the amazing benefits. You can do this. Whatever it is you want to achieve for yourself. And I will be there every step of the way.”
Let's Get Started!
I truly do believe that your ultimate health and wellness is within reach. No matter where you are on your journey or how many times or ways you’ve tried to feel your best. Let’s connect! I would be honored to be a part of your personal healthy goals or help spread a big dose of wellness to those around you.
