I am a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and have a graduate degree in the biomedical sciences. I enjoy supporting others using my perspective gained in former professional roles as a biomedical scientist and a workplace health and safety officer. I have a unique perspective that merges scientific insight with compassionate guidance.

I have an appreciation for the scientific basis for health as well as how professional demands and productivity can be impacted by our comprehensive well-being. I have embraced major life transitions in the face of uncertainty, including raising a family while making three career transitions, acquiring skills and forming new relationships along the way. My passion for holistic wellness is rooted in my personal experience with acute and chronic health challenges, including navigation through epilepsy management. 

In my personal life, I enjoy soccer, gardening, and hiking in nature. I have persevered through athletic injuries, while finding creative ways to maintain physical fitness. I am committed to balanced nutrition, daily physical activity, brain health, and embrace growth as I age through living a healthy lifestyle. I believe that healthy living is both an individual and family commitment.

My mission is to support others in their personal transformation that will reveal a long life with flow, balance, and personal fulfillment.

I partner with individuals who have a strong desire to discover, initiate, and maintain healthy behaviors in alignment with their needs and values. I engage my clients in self-exploration to discover opportunities for growth while providing them with new tools and strategies. I am a source of support, information, motivation, and accountability.
