I am a doctorate level educated family nurse practitioner with 20 years in nursing. I have a passion for helping people feel their best and to reach the most optimal state of wellness they can achieve. As a practitioner in a traditional health system, I have been increasingly frustrated with the limitations that hinder me from helping people be healthy! I began my career to help people be well in body, mind and spirit. However, traditional healthcare forces me to prioritize my time, skills and attention on sickness, medications, and crisis management. So many of the health issues I treat everyday could be prevented, reversed or well managed with successful lifestyle management. The impact of good nutrition, daily movement, proper hydration, restorative sleep, and stress management are highly underrated, under advertised and lacking in the majority of American households. This has led me to health coaching. I want to support people to live healthy, have more energy, be comfortable in their bodies, spend more time doing things they enjoy, and be happy.
I want to be your personal ‘travel guide’ on your trip to a healthier you. I am a firm believer that you are the driver of your health journey and my role is to help guide you to the best information, help you avoid pitfalls and misinformation, and make the changes easier for you. Let me help plan your ‘health journey’ so you can navigate the process and have a successful, enjoyable experience.
On a personal note, my main passion is my family. I have been married for 22 years and have two amazing children. My son has a chronic medical condition that is greatly influenced by lifestyle and we have lots of experience adapting our current culture and lifestyle to maximize his health. Part of helping my son’s health meant that I needed to role model healthy lifestyle behaviors. Thank you for being here with me and letting me be part of your transformation!
