My Story...

How I got here.

I was hesitant when my friend suggested I enroll in the Health Coach Training Program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). 


To put it bluntly - I'm NOT the person people come to for food advice. I'm the girl who orders chicken & waffles and a bellini at Sunday brunch!


So you can imagine my confusion when she tells me about this bright idea to be a Health Coach.


But I was desperate for change in my life and thought "why not?" So I did it.


I signed up thinking - at minimum - it would be a boost for my personal growth.

 

The more I learned the more I became aware that a healthy lifestyle isn't just about what you eat. 


I see how all parts of your life - career, relationships, finances, spirituality, home environment - contribute to your happiness and well-being.  


So Yes! -- I'm devoted to avocados and I understand the benefits of whole foods and green smoothies. BUT it's not what drives me.

 

I want to empower women to take control of their lives, make positive life choices and be more confident, loving, and trusting within themselves to know they can create a life they think is impossible.

My life before.

I could barely pull myself out of bed in the morning.  


I dreaded going to work. My job was unfulfilling and stale. 


I was still 25 lbs overweight from the pregnancy I lost a year before.


The foundation of my marriage was crumbling - l'm talking earthquake-like cracks.


My first thought in the morning was "Ugh...not another day...I just can't."


 I woke up sad, depressed and anxious. Every. Single. Day. 


I felt like I was stuck in a time-loop.  


I was lost!


Then one day something snapped. A voice inside of me said, "Enough is enough. It's time to get up and get your sh*t together!"


I was tired of a doom and gloom existence. I was on a mission to find my happiness. 


Change started the moment I made the decision to be happy and take a step.

The journey.

Being happy and living an empowered life is a JOURNEY - not a destination. 


I work daily to choose happy and make the best decisions for my life.


I'm clear about what I want and in-tune to what I need live my best life.


And you can be too!


You can create happiness and balance through consistent practices.  It's time to:


  • CHOOSE to make yourself a priority
  • Do things that make you feel GOOD
  • EMBRACE who you are
  • TRUST and LOVE yourself; and  
  • TREAT YOURSELF the way you want others to treat you.


You CAN create the space you need to take care of yourself on your journey. Let me help you take the steps you need to define your "happy" and live your best life!
