Health & Wellness Coaching

My experience includes 10 years as a clinical health educator, 17 years as a health, nutrition, and women’s health professor, and 4 years as a high school health teacher. As your health and wellness coach, I will support you as you connect the dots between your health goals and/or doctor’s recommendations and the practical steps needed to achieve sustainable results. Parent Coaching

I am also a Certified Parent Coach through the Jai Institute of Parenting. My experience as a parent coach includes the work I did for 18 years as a school health consultant and the work I continue to do as a parent health educator for the local school district. Most importantly, I am a parent of 2 grown kids and 1 teenager. I have helped parents (including myself) and students overcome hundreds of stress and mental health challenges over the years. As your parent coach, I will support you as you support your child through an eating disorder or other mental health challenge.

Whether you're navigating a child’s eating disorder, anxiety, a tough diagnosis, or major life changes like divorce or burnout, the first step isn’t action. It’s alignment. In my latest blog, I share why starting with your family’s values and vision is the foundation for long-term healing—and how it can guide every decision from here.

Don't Do It Alone: How To Organize A Supportive Care Team: When your child is struggling with their mental or physical health—whether it’s anxiety, disordered eating, a chronic condition, or something you can’t quite name yet—it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and even paralyzing. As parents, we often feel like we should have all the answers, or that it’s our job to “fix” it on our own. But the truth is: you don’t have to go it alone.
In fact, organizing a care team is one of the most powerful things you can do for your child—and for yourself. A well-rounded support system helps you move from confusion and worry to clarity and connection. It allows your child to be seen as a whole person, and not just a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.

📝 Why are so many kids cheating? The answer isn’t what you think.
Twelve years ago, I walked into a Challenge Success meeting as a PTA parent rep—and what I heard from students that day changed the way I parented forever.
Cheating isn’t always about laziness or lack of values. It’s often a survival strategy in a system that rewards perfection over well-being. In my latest post, I share what I’ve learned about the pressure our kids are under—and how we, as parents, can ease the stress and start creating change at home and in schools.
This is personal. This is urgent. And it’s more common than you think.

🍔🥤 Why I encouraged a teen to eat a burger, fries, and a shake every week—and why I took a closer look at my own kids' plates too.

In a culture obsessed with “clean eating,” we sometimes forget what nourishment really means—especially for active, growing teens.

Read my latest post to learn what a pediatric eating disorder doctor taught me about saturated fat, periods, and healing through food. It might just change the way you see dinner.
