What do I do?

“As an educator, I coach adults 60+ toward better metabolic health so they can stay independent and fully engaged in life.”

​

What do I mean by metabolic health?

“Metabolic health is how well your body manages and uses energy to keep you functioning well. We talk a lot about what we’re learning from the latest nutrition research and about lifestyle habits that affect energy, aging, brain health, and inflammation.”

​

Was I a nurse? Am I a doctor or dietitian?

“No. I’m an educator and coach, not a licensed medical professional. I provide education and coaching, and when something involves diagnosis, medication, or medical treatment, I encourage people to work with their healthcare professionals.”

Integrative Life and Health Coach

Approach

As a lifelong learner and teacher, my passion is to guide others in the skills necessary to creating positive change which will lead to a healthier, happier and more harmonious life. My years of experience and training have led me to a personalized coaching program that gently guides you to that freedom - healthy, happy and harmonious.​

Healthful living means paying attention to the components of health that will create a strong, vibrant, self-healing body. With over 40 years of experience, I share information, such as whole foods, supplements, and alternative and energy therapies, to create a comprehensive plan for my client's specific needs.​

Healthy human development focuses on interactions that encourage communication, connection, compassion and creativity. When this is not present during a person's upbringing, dysfunctional relationships are the result. Understanding how the brain works is the foundation. I will guide you in the skills that you can use to transform some of your more uncomfortable relationships.

My approach is a soulful guidance. My coaching style recognizes that clients are unique and special and is customized to alleviate frustrations by:
