I come to the health and wellness coaching field with a background in Physical Therapy, Personal Training, Nutrition Consultation, Licensed Am I Hungry?® Facilitator, Certified Wellness Coach and Human Resources.

I am passionate about living well and making healthy choices in all areas of wellness in hopes to increase longevity and quality of my life!  I practice what I preach and I am tremendously thankful to have been given the opportunity to help people achieve their greatest wellness potential.  I believe, strongly, that this process is a work in progress and a life long journey toward the ultimate goal of good health, not a quick fix or temporary task.  I don't believe in the word "diet" or in restrictive eating.  I believe in being in charge of our wellness and having the freedom to make our own decisions, all the while taking responsibility and having accountability for the outcomes.  I believe in a life of moderation, variety, enjoyment and balance of the things we love!

I provide wellness services in the areas of wellness coaching, personal training, nutrition consultation, weight loss/management programs, mindfulness meditation programs, workshops and various other services.  My comprehensive education and experience enables me to assist, encourage, celebrate and champion my clients while they strive for their greatest wellness potential.

In my "spare" time, I am a full-time Mom which entails playing with, teaching, feeding, loving, reading to, spending time with and cherishing of my 2 young daughters, Gwyneth (3 years) and Grace (5 years) old.  They truly are my greatest success and educators!  I wouldn't be able to do this without the unending love and support of my life partner and husband, Nathan, thank you.
