But as I worked more closely with midlife women as a RN & women's health coach, I began to see the deeper truth.
They weren’t failing their bodies. They were living in nervous systems shaped by stress, grief, ambition, and responsibility.
What they needed wasn’t another plan. They needed integration. They needed safety. They needed to feel at home in their bodies again.
That realization changed the direction of my work and my own relationship with health.
I became certified as a functional wellness coach, Reiki master, and Human Design practitioner to give my clients the fully personalized protocol they need.
Today, I’m proud to say I work and play from a place of peace, not pressure. I invite you to do the same.
a
Diet culture, hustle culture, or a life that keeps asking more from your body than it can sustainably give.
That’s not to say I haven’t been there. Quite the opposite.
After my last pregnancy, I turned toward bodybuilding and personal health coaching in 2018. On the surface, it looked like discipline and ambition.
Underneath, it was grief.
I lost my mom to breast cancer when she was just 47. Becoming a mother without her reshaped everything. I made a quiet promise to myself: I would do everything in my power to make sure my children experienced most of their lives with me, not without me.
At first, that promise translated into control — macros, training splits, measurable outcomes. I focused on weight loss and performance because those were the metrics I could manage.
I bring a breadth of experience to help your whole body heal.
