About

 

I support my clients in living a truly empowered, inspired, and joyful life.

I support individuals, groups, and teams in cultivating connection, empowerment, authenticity, and inspiration. I am certified in the Co-Active and Positive Intelligence models and bring forth over 20 years experience in the personal wellness field.

My journey in wellness started with studying kinesiology and a career in personal training. I was fueled by a passion for running, cycling, and swimming, and a fascination with how the body works. The most rewarding aspect of being a personal trainer was helping my clients push through perceived barriers and discover strength they didn’t know they had. I continued on this career path for over twenty years.

In 2004, I became intrigued with nutrition, a complement to the work I was already doing. I dove into certification and devoured every book I could find to expand my understanding of nutrition as it related to digestion, energy, metabolism and more. I created a simplified approach to unite the pleasure of eating delicious foods with achieving optimal wellness.

At the end of 2019, I found myself deep in a rut and I didn’t know how to get out. I’d just gone through an extremely difficult year with my older teen daughter and, although she was doing better, I was below empty in every aspect of my being. In search of my happiness and inner-spark, I stumbled into Co-Active Coaching and Positive Intelligence, which ended up being my lifeline out of the ditch. These two modalities opened the doors to a world of transformative self-discovery, intense personal growth, and an inspired career shift. It was CPR for my soul. I knew with certainty that I was moving toward something with greater purpose than anything I had done before. Since then, I have empowered numerous other women to achieve their goals, breakthrough areas where they feel stuck, and reclaim their time, energy, happiness, and health.

Here’s a little more about me… I live in Northern California with my husband, two teen daughters and an English lab, named Hero. I am an authentic, loving, and curious person with a passion for adventure, travel, and nature. In my free time, I enjoy trail running, swimming, and SUPing along the spectacular California coast.
