I've always loved helping people throughout the years to reach their various health goals! Some to lose weight, get off meds, walk more. So I've walked with them, cooked with them, worked out with them, I've listened to their stories- cried with them. I had no formal education, had no idea what the heck I was doing! But the funny thing-it worked! Listening and making a plan, they all were able to reach their specific goals! I had one thing going for me! I was an accountability partner, an important component in health coaching.

I'm an orthopedic massage therapist by trade and always interested in better health so in my spare time (what's that?!) ok I made time - because I cared for the people I worked so hard to help! It felt good helping people feel better! Massage work kept me busy and lack of time kept me from doing more in that venue of the health world.

In June of 2019 my world changed! Physically emotionally and in every way possible it changed! I broke my left foot in a motorcycle accident. My foot was pulverized by the bike peg. I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to walk again, which meant I didn’t know if I was ever going to be able to do massage again. As I recoup from my 1st surgery with an imminent surgery to come to remove the hardware that was in my foot holding it in place, I had to figure out what I was going to do with the rest of my life and not be a burden to society.

I had met up with a wonderful case manager to help me get services that I needed as I recovered and we had started chatting and I got to shared some health tips and a light bulb turned on. Not long after, a friend visited and encouraged me to seriously look into health coaching, she had done that when she was recovering from a surgery she had gone through. I figured if I wasn’t going to be able to stand on my own 2 feet at least I could sit and chat on zoom or phone sharing wisdom and research, I could finally be a health coach! I looked into a variety of health coaching schools, I instantly knew when I saw The Functional Medicine Health Coaching Academy I wanted to be a graduate from that school.

I believe that health is wealth, you are what you eat and I believe our bodies are intelligent and resilient, soon there will come a day we will only eat whole real foods why wait! Do it now! The better you eat, the better you feel! Aug 2020 I graduated and have been so grateful for my cohorts for their support in my transformation, the education, loving all that I was learning, about my self, positive psychology, asking the hard questions, quietly waiting and listening with my heart, and a host of other tools. I found purpose again!

Now I get to do what I love, walk with (literally) beside others helping others transform their lives, to feel better in their skin and of course, gratefully I continue to help those with issues in their tissue! I look forward to the privilege of working with you! Inspiring and believing in you to be the best version you can be for the world to see!
