Human-Centered Health & Wellness

For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by health and nutrition and how our everyday choices influence how we feel, live, and thrive.

My interest in health and wellness coaching is both personal and professional. I've seen how chronic conditions and burnout can impact quality of life, and how difficult lasting change can be without the right support.

Together, those experiences inspired me to complete the Mayo Clinic Wellness Coach Training Program and to continue building my expertise through additional training in nutrition coaching, sleep, stress, and recovery, and plant-based nutrition. I'm currently completing coaching hours toward National Board Certification (NBC-HWC).

Before becoming a wellness coach, I spent more than 25 years helping organizations better understand people's needs and create meaningful experiences through leadership roles in user experience, hospitality, and education. Earlier in my career, I also helped develop nutritious menu items and school nutrition programs for a health-focused restaurant group, giving me an early foundation in nutrition education, health promotion, and program development.

That human-centered background continues to shape how I coach today. I approach people with curiosity, listen deeply, meet them where they are, and help them create practical, sustainable strategies that fit the realities of everyday life.

My coaching approach is grounded in evidence-based behavior change, motivational interviewing, and lifestyle medicine principles. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make choices that align with their own values, goals, and everyday lives. My goal is to help people build confidence, create lasting habits, and improve their health in ways that are both practical and sustainable.
