I am a Certified Wellness Coach with a B.S. in Sociology, and I have many years of experience working with people who need a little help with the challenge of attaining the goals they set for themselves.

My early career was in corporate restaurant management and organizational training. For several years, I helped restaurant franchise owners minimize their employee turnover by teaching empathetic retention practice, implemented by the management teams. This helped owners maximize profitability, while also maintaining high levels of service to their customers.

In 2003, I became a mom to my incredible daughter and I longed for a change of pace in my career. My desire was to run my own business so I could be the owner of my schedule. It was then that I obtained my realtor’s license and dove in to the incredible world of real estate brokerage. In 2008, as the market began to take a hit I made a choice to assist clients in avoiding foreclosure and financial crisis. I coached people on the market and taught them how to sell quickly without losing everything, or how to lease out their home and downsize their lives to fit their budget.

In 2012, my life was forever changed when I welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world who was born with an extremely rare disease called Heterotaxy, which caused his heart and other organs to have multiple defects. I sold my real estate business and began my adventure as a “heart mom” to this amazing little human. Throughout the years, I have spent months on ICU floors with other moms as we waited for our children to recover from heart surgeries and illnesses. In that time, I realized that MY heart and soul was meant for helping and guiding others to be the very best they can be in whatever life circumstance they find themselves in because we deserve to feel our best and practice self care even when it feels impossible. In 2022, after my husband retired from 26 years of active duty Army service, I powered through my certification to become a Wellness, Nutrition, and Life Coach. It is now my honor to work with people who face their own challenges in life and need a helping hand to remind them of what they are truly capable of.
