Today I'm a certified life and health coach because I see the value of this work. I, personally, have lived, breathed and benefited from doing this work. My teenage years were filled with struggle. I suffered from chronic back pain in my early 20's. I have also had my own experiences with anxiety attacks, low energy and dietary issues. I understand your struggles because I've been there! I've designed programs that are effective and fun. The end result - a new, more energized and confident you living the life you dream of.

Clients often describe a sense of relief and that they feel heard. They feel calmer and more clear on the direction they want to go.

I began my healing journey 25 years ago when I was faced with a decision. Do I start to take pain medication and anti- inflammatory drugs to heal my back pain or do I develop my own path of healing selecting health professionals to help guide me along the way? I am so grateful I chose to tune into my own body's needs and learn how to heal myself. If we can take the time to slow down and tune into our bodies and minds we can find the answers we seek.
