A Little Bit About Me...
Educated & Experienced
Health Professional
I appreciate that you have a lot of options when looking for a coach. It seems anyone can become a "coach" these days. Knowing the person you are working with is qualified can give you peace of mind. That's why I am constantly pursuing additional knowledge in the fields of health, education, and psychology to make sure I provide the the best services I can.

A Committed Partner
I have been supporting, guiding, teaching, mentoring, and coaching people of all ages for my entire career in various forms, as a counselor, teacher, and now wellness coach. Over those past 20 years, I've worked with men, women, 4-year-olds and 80-year-olds alike from a myriad of backgrounds and experiences.
​
I absolutely love working with people. I'm passionate about helping people reconnect with who they really are and live a life filled with joy, purpose and fulfilment. It fills my cup to be a partner in the personal growth of others.
​
I value relationships. I value connection. I value truthfulness and authenticity. I don’t take partnerships lightly - I believe that human connection is the most important thing in life.
A Wellness Enthusiast
​Because of my own journey, I am constantly learning and growing -- exploring new wellness information, foods, and holistic practices to improve my own well-being and that of others.
​
​I have been and continue to be an avid life-long learner! I strongly believe we become butterflies numerous times on this journey of life. It is in the transformation that we grow and learn to become who we are meant to be.
​
It is my sincere pleasure and honor to help others along their personal wellness journey.
I offer others what I wish I had on my health journey
A Listening Ear
A person who really takes the time to get to know and understand your situation. Someone who can empathize with what you’re going through.
An All Rounder
You don’t want a one-trick-pony. You want someone who understands a holistic approach to wellness; that health is more than just about exercising and eating well. It’s about mindset and having peace of mind socially, occupationally, financially, spiritually (whatever that means to you), and emotionally. A person who can make connections between the various aspects of health to create total wellness, not just in one area of health.
A Teacher
Someone who doesn’t solve problems for you or tell you what to do because it’s worked for them. Rather someone who helps you discover the answers for yourself because you know your body and situation better than anyone else. A person who explains things in ways that are easy to understand without all the pretentious jargon.
A Sage Guide
Someone who offers a fresh perspective on your situation who can offer realistic options or strategies that fit into your current lifestyle and needs. A guide doesn’t make decisions for you, but rather provides viable options for you to consider.
A Tailor
Every body is different. Every person is different. Every situation is different. Just because people may experience the same problem, doesn’t mean they experience it in the same way. It’s important to have someone who tailors information and tools to meet your individual needs and situation.
A Nurturing Challenger
Someone who will hold you accountable and encourage you to push yourself past where you think you are capable of going in a way that is respectful and honors where you are in the moment.
I feel honored to be able to provide these options to people who choose to pursue health coaching with me.
If you have questions or would like to learn more before you make a decision, I would love to talk with you!
