My Approach
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at work or in your relationships cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we'll look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
I work with my clients to get in touch with their body's needs, because I understand that life happens and your needs will change. I want to equip you with the self-awareness to make the best decisions for yourself in any given circumstance. I believe each person is fully capable of making well-informed decisions as their own expert — not the latest magazine article or fad diet book.
Together, we'll define what you value most from your well-being and use that vision to motivate specific, achievable goals. As your coach, I won't dictate a diet for you. Instead, we'll explore why some foods make you feel better than others and how to strategically use that feedback. We'll co-create your health goals within reasonable time frames and actionable objectives, so you know exactly what you're working toward.
About Me
My desire is to use my certifications as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Cancer Coach to educate people on how to use food as medicine. In addition to nutritional changes, I want to teach people how lifestyle — relationships, stress, spirituality, and finances, to name a few — can impact our physical health and the nutritional choices we make.
My quest to learn more about natural healing remedies began when my son was impacted by asthma and the medications he was prescribed. As a two-time breast cancer survivor, my passion and desire to learn more grew as I researched and worked with a functional medicine doctor to address health issues resulting from my own cancer journey and the side effects of treatment.
