My healthcare career started 20+ years ago in a busy OB/GYN practice. As a medical technician, I assisted doctors with various women’s health concerns. This passion for helping women fueled my desire to further my education. After receiving my nursing degree, I went on to assist patients in rehabilitation from numerous medical diagnoses and post-surgery recovery. While this career was rewarding, I noticed a void in the healthcare setting.....TIME. In many conversations with patients, I realized they just wanted to be heard and seen as unique individuals. This gave me insight into ways for superior patient care, the need for more patient education, and a different system than just symptom management.

Now as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach with a background in Nursing, I am able to fuse the different skill sets in a way that expands my ability to connect with patients and address health concerns on a deeper level.

As a health coach, I’m here to meet you where you are on your wellness journey without judgment and with compassion and empathy. Our coaching relationship starts with building trust and having an open mind. The aim of coaching is to guide you through the process of transformation by implementing sustainable shifts in your lifestyle that will have an impact on your overall health. Since I take a bio individuality approach to coaching this process will look different for everyone. As your personal health coach, you can expect accountability, encouragement, and unconditional support throughout your journey. I also work in collaboration with your Integrative health team to optimize the implementation of your treatment plan with achievable action steps that support your lifestyle.
