about

I spent 25+ years of my career in the competitive, fast-paced medical device industry. I got the opportunity to work with & train colleagues all around the world. I am forever grateful for the experience, as it helped shape me into who I am today & I made wonderful lifelong friendships & memories. 

However my burn-the-candle-at-both-ends career & lifestyle eventually caught up with me. I regrettably ignored my body's "check engine light" year after year. And just like our vehicles...if we ignore the warning signs long enough, they eventually break down. My body did just that. I began to suffer from autoimmune conditions, debilitating chronic back pain & degenerative disc disease at a very early age. 

After inconceivable betrayals & a devastating divorce, life as I knew it was shattered. I was scrambling to salvage some sense of stability & keep our heads above water & quickly found myself in an escalating health crisis. Just as I was thought I was getting our feet back under us, the pandemic hit & turned not only our world, but the entire world, upside down once again. It was all nearly too much to bear. 

I continued to put one foot in front of the other & forged ahead in survival mode. Giving up just wasn't an option. With never-ending diagnoses & treatment failures, I had had enough & decided to do more of my own research & go back to school in search of answers. I became a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach to help myself heal & to help others take back their health as well.

My coaching programs encompass the whole-body & mind approach that has helped me heal.  If you are ready to finally get healthier & stay on a healthier path, but year after year you find yourself unable to make lifestyle & behavior changes that stick, I'm here to tell you it is possible! Sometimes we simply need someone to help us chart our own personalized course & to help us keep going when times get tough. Research substantiates... motivation alone simply isn't enough. 

Tackling hard things together is always better than toiling alone! Asking for or allowing others to help isn't a weakness, it's a sign of strength — and we are much stronger than our mind might allow us to believe!
I look forward to helping you harness your inner strength & create the life you've always dreamed of!

A bit more background for those who have also experienced betrayal...

During my healing journey, I came across Post Betrayal Syndrome®  & was immediately struck by the collection of physical, mental & emotional symptoms of betrayal & how closely they aligned with many of my own mounting symptoms. I dove headfirst into the program & after life-altering results, I just knew I needed to be able to help others achieve their own Post Betrayal Transformation® as well. Betrayal recovery is unlike any other crisis recovery because betrayal is voluntary & intentional. In turn, it not only shatters our world, it shatters our equilibrium, our sense of self & our ability to trust in anyone or anything. I became a PBT Coach to help others move from surviving to thriving & to learn to trust themselves & others again. Betrayal can come in many forms —  at the hands of a partner, family member, friend, the allopathic healthcare system. It is incredibly rewarding to watch others find themselves again & to help them take back their health, their lives & their mental fortitude. It would be an honor to help you on your healing journey as well!
