My Journey to Become a Certified Health Coach

As your ultimate vitality coach, be confident that health is my passion. It is a true honor to help you from where you are currently, to where you’d like to be.

I have over 20 years of health education experience. I grew up playing sports, being active and adventurous. The body has always intrigued me. In my earlier years, I developed an eating disorder in the form of exercise bulimia. Food and exercise had a control over me. I was so absorbed in the latest fad diets and what my body looked like on the outside that I neglected my insides. I worked hard to fall in love with my body and luckily was able to overcome my dysfunctional relationship with food and exercise.

Shortly after I had my son in 2003, I became very ill and was left with no answers. In 2008 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and chose to heal from the inside out, without medication. It was a personal choice for me but I know the power of food and how healing it can be. Hippocrates said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

All of these personal experiences and the incredible knowledge I learned on my own journey, pushed me into a deeper desire to help others overcome their health struggles or even better, prevent them from occurring.

I am an author and creator of an award winning comprehensive health education curriculum K-6th grade and worked with schools for several years teaching health. I developed after-school programs and systems, have planned and implemented stable work site wellness programs, gave numerous presentations to all different audiences such as moms groups, sports teams, teachers, and businesses. I have been featured in magazines and have written many science based health articles for newspapers as well.

Becoming a Certified Health Coach through the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute just made sense. I have enjoyed watching people transform their lives and live their lives to the fullest. I am very conscientious of meeting people where they are and guiding their journey step by step while providing a stable structure. The belief I have, founded on science is about a true lifestyle change that is doable long term. I have successfully helped people reduce medications, meet goal weights, have more energy, and vitality all while increasing their knowledge and confidence in making good health choices to last a lifetime.

I can’t wait to work with YOU!!
