Personal: I am a mom of four children and two dogs, I understand the demands of the working mom and the challenges of the stay-at-home mom: there are pros and cons to both. As a teenager who wasn’t happy with her shorter, muscular frame, I was inclined to try all the new fad diets, get stressed and unhappy when they didn’t work, and was extremely self-critical. I discovered my attraction to learning about health, wellness, and how to have a healthy relationship with exercise, which has stayed with me for decades. My motto is “progress not perfection” and I tend to look for humor in every possible situation. I try to not take myself too seriously. That being said, I LOVE empowering people to help themselves, and when I commit to something, I am extremely persistent until that goal is met.

Professional: With over 30 years in healthcare, as a Registered Nurse & Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, I see the growing challenges in our current medical system. With more demands put on our providers and less time spent with patients, preventative education, especially regarding nutrition and lifestyle choices, is rarely addressed. This is where Nurse Health Coaches (like me!) can help fill the gap. Using a holistic approach, I will take the time needed to understand you as an individual in your surrounding World and help you determine a program to manage/improve your current health concerns while preventing future health conditions. I will help you navigate your World of Wellness.
