Coaching Is My Calling

Coaching isn’t just my profession – it’s my calling. It all began during my undergrad when I had the privilege of completing an internship in Lifestyle Medicine at a medical residency program for primary care physicians. It was there that I witnessed the transformative power that one-on-one coaching can have in helping people make lasting and meaningful changes in their lives.

Since then, I’ve immersed myself in evidence-based approaches and models that support behavior change, including motivational interviewing, appreciative inquiry, and positive psychology. But for me, coaching is about so much more than just these approaches. It’s about guiding others to discover their own potential, write their own narratives, and find ways to succeed with their goals – no matter what their perceived limitations or obstacles may be.

My clients often tell me that my gift is seeing in them what they do not – recognizing their hidden qualities and abilities and helping them embrace the possibilities. The “Aha” moments when profound realizations meet transformational perspectives are the fuel for my soul.

I help people mobilize effective tools at the right time so they can improve their health and well-being in ways that allow them to experience the fullest version of their vitality. It’s a distinct privilege to be alongside folks as they build and cross their own extraordinary bridges, witnessing the greatest versions of themselves unfold in a symphony of discovery that connects mind, body, and spirit to the innate greatness within every one of us.

If you’re ready to experience the transformative power of coaching and unlock your full potential, then let’s connect. Together, we’ll create a customized plan that suits your unique needs and goals, and we’ll work towards achieving the wellness and vitality you’ve always dreamed of.

Re-Defining Wellness

Welcome to true wellness, where we redefine what it means to be healthy and happy!

My journey to this work wasn’t by accident – it was born out of my own struggles with unhealthy behaviors and poor body image. I spent years feeling like I needed to manipulate and control food and exercise to “fix” my body, until I was able to authentically experience true wellness – which, as it turns out, is about nurturing and respecting our bodies, not punishing them.

That’s why I don’t subscribe to any trademarked diets or fitness plans – I believe that wellness is a deeply personal journey that requires an individualized approach. As a coach, I work with my clients to develop a step-by-step plan that helps them reclaim their vitality using simple, but effective actions that can be built into habits.

I work with my clients to adopt an individualized, step-by-step approach to reclaim their vitality using simple, but effective actions that can be built into habits. And the results are magical.

• Imagine jumping out of bed in the morning because you are filled with enthusiasm.
• How about moving through your day with a light and energy that feels infinite because you’re engaged in meaningful work that feels purpose-driven?
• Now picture that you’re eating healthy, nutritious foods –all because you WANT to,  because it feels good, and because it enables you to do more of what you love (not because you’re trying to “fix” something about your body).
• Imagine the same thing about the role movement plays in your life. Did you know that you can achieve the amount of exercise you need to be healthy, and fit, and actually enjoy every minute of it?
• Imagine loving your self, loving your life, loving how you interact with others and the way you show up in the world and… get this…having energy left over to do greater things than you’ve ever allowed yourself to believe is possible.

These are the outcomes my clients consistently achieve.
