Wellness coach, yoga teacher and reiki practitioner — and someone who tried all the other things first, for years. Most of what I teach here I learned because I needed it myself, long before I taught it to anyone.

My Story

I didn’t arrive at this from the outside.

My passion is to offer you a grace-filled, whole-health, comprehensive approach to living a healthier lifestyle.

I’ve tried what you’ve tried — all the diet fads, exercise routines, self-help books, pharmaceuticals. At best they offered short-term benefits, and at worst, destructive results. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, lingered in clouds of confusion, and even found myself down some pretty expensive rabbit trails.

Eventually I found my way out of that fog and realized that happiness and joy don’t depend on a dress size. Yes, I lost about 40 pounds and kept them off for 14 years. But that weight loss wasn’t, and still isn’t, the beginning and end of my life satisfaction. In fact it was a by-product of my holistic transformation. As I began to balance my nervous system and foster self-awareness, the weight slowly melted off. It was just part of me returning to me.

As I reflect on my painful years of living in depression, when guilt and anger played such a large role in my life, I so desperately wanted someone to take my hand and show me a way out. A way out of roller coaster dieting, out of negative self-talk, out of gauging my happiness by numbers on a scale. But most importantly, a way into a freer, healthier, more vibrant life.

That’s what I want for you. A balanced you that feels comfortable in your own skin. An aware you with a healthy relationship with food. An empowered you in control of your own destiny. A resilient you with real tools and strategies.

Because I know — you don’t need fixed. You just need supported.
