My Healing Arts Journey
I walk beside women navigating midlife because I know this path myself — and because two decades in the healing arts taught me what actually helps.
I'm a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, trained at Levels 1 & 2 with the International Menopause Society. That training builds on years of work as a Nutrition Consultant and Educator, where I helped clients untangle the connections between pain, hormonal imbalance, and chronic conditions rooted in diet and daily life.
My Clients
My path started in massage and yoga therapy, then widened — grief educator, nutritionist, health coach. Each role taught me something the last one couldn't. Working closely with so many different people over the years sharpened not just my knowledge, but my intuition: the ability to hear what someone needs, even when they're still figuring out how to name it.
My Passion
I love digging into the science of wellness — and I love even more turning that research into something you can actually do. Not another overwhelming list of rules, but real, doable practices that fit into your life as it is.
I'm honored to share what I've learned with you. This work is personal to me, and I'd be glad to walk this next part of the road with you.
My Personal Story
I've lived with anxiety most of my adult life. Then motherhood arrived later than I expected, and early perimenopause layered right on top of it — trauma, grief, and hormonal upheaval, all at once.
A difficult pregnancy and a traumatic birth left me with undiagnosed postpartum depression, PMDD, attention deficit, and chronic fatigue — while I quietly carried the weight of feeling like I was failing as a mother.
Then both of my parents were diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and I found myself caregiving on two fronts at once. Out of necessity, I became a nutritionist — first to manage my own symptoms and protect my brain health, then to help other women facing the same struggle.
After I lost my parents, the fog started to clear. I began to see how my anxiety, my unprocessed grief, and my unattended trauma were all tangled together. Coaching gave me a way through — new clarity, new strength, real healing. That experience is why I trained as a coach myself: so I could offer other women the same support that changed everything for me.
Too many of us are still struggling alone, falling through the cracks of our medical and social systems. I don't want you to be one of them.
The Magic of Coaching
Health is the foundation of happiness.
Most chronic illness traces back to lifestyle — which means the real work isn't just information, it's the mindset and behavior shifts that make healthy living sustainable. That's what coaching does.
For me, it was transformative. It gave me hope, clarity, and focus. My wellness vision became my compass, and setting goals around that vision — both close-in and further out — built a kind of confidence I hadn't had before: confidence in my own ability to change and grow. What followed was more energy, more joy, and a sense of flow I hadn't felt in years.
My Training
I trained with Wellcoaches, widely considered the gold standard in evidence-based coaching — the organization behind the field's own Coaching Psychology Manual. Their approach blends positive psychology with design thinking to help clients build real motivation, confidence, and self-efficacy through strong relational coaching skills.
My mission is to help other women at a deeper level — to acknowledge and address the full, complicated truth of what they're carrying, not just the symptoms on the surface.
