Though working in the healthcare industry for over 20 years, it wasn’t until after a lengthy health scare, I found my passion for helping others take ownership over their health and wellness. 

​

For two years, I fought for my life following complications experienced from a routine surgery. Having developed gastroparesis (a partially paralyzed stomach) and subsequent significant weight loss, I felt a level of poor health, weakness and vulnerability that I never want to feel again. 

​

After my second feeding tube was placed, my mental health took a huge hit, as it often does when battling a chronic illness. Being at my lowest point, where I vividly remember wanting to give up the fight, I made a decision that not only turned my life around but put me on a trajectory to where I am today, and where I will be in the future.  I chose to take ownership over my health and wellness. I realized that though what happened to me was not my responsibility, it was my responsibility to overcome it. To do all the things that needed to be done to get my health back – to get my life back. 

​

The point at which I made that decision, was the point where I began looking into what all I needed to do, to not only renew my health, but to become the healthiest, strongest version of myself. Scrolling through the internet, reading books, taking screenshots of workouts, meal plans and recipes, countless hours of therapy, self reflection and journaling led to me feeling VERY overwhelmed. Swimming in a sea of recommendations of everything I should be doing, I became paralyzed with analyzing every little detail and yet eager to do it all. 

​

I hired a coach who helped me take that first step. Once I got a taste of good health, strength and vitality, I wanted more. I wanted to not only be the strongest version of myself, I wanted to inspire others to do the same.  

Through all of this coaching experience, something within me ignited. A passion for learning the why and how behind what I was doing. Though I have 20+ years of nursing experience behind me, I kept absorbing more and more knowledge so that I could continue to level myself up.

 

And that’s where we come to today. A fire that was lit within me to do what I’ve always done -help others. To become a health and wellness coach guiding other women as they regain their health and wellness and step into their strongest selves. By meeting women where THEY are at in their journey, to sift through the noise and navigate what it takes for THEM to reach their goals. 

​

One thing you will learn about me, I’m not like other coaches. I meet you where you are at and we go on the journey together, at some point releasing you to move onto other coaches when you are ready to level up. Seriously, I will take pride when you say you want to go on to the next level and stop working with me.  And with a multitude of connections in the health and fitness space, I can help you determine what that next step looks and cheer you on every step of the way (just ask any of the clients I have already helped move to the next step). 

​

At the end of the day, it’s you vs you. No one else is going to do this for you. But what I can do is help get you started and guide you. But it’s you that has to put in the work. I’ve got your back, let’s do this together.
