Want to Hear My Story?

I did not start my career with a focus on functional medicine health coaching. In fact, I've worked as a Speech Language Pathologist helping adults rehabilitate from various diagnoses such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, cancer, and much more. I've always had a passion to connect with people on a deeper level and help them achieve their goals.

I often ask myself, how could someone who had their own struggles with chronic pain, stress, self criticism and a history of poor eating habits help others?

Well, sometimes it takes another person to understand what it feels like to struggle, to learn how to give yourself grace and forgiveness, and to find what motivates you. 

When I started to turn into a critical mother, crabby spouse, and utilized poor coping strategies to manage my pain, I knew I needed a change.  The picture of my family here displays my biggest motivator and support in adapting to a new lifestyle. 

As we walk through different stages of life, it can be complicated and we are often pulled in many different directions. Mom, spouse, co-worker, caregiver, etc. Having someone who can listen, provide empathy, kindness and non-judgment is essential.

This is where I can help.
