About Me

My Background

I am an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, wife, dog mom, lifelong learner, gardener, cross stitcher, crocheter, and reader. I believe in positive accountability and sustainable change in order to make healthy habits stick! I love to cook and play with new, healthy recipes, especially gluten-free recipes. I also believe dark chocolate and red wine are health foods!

Why did I decide to become a health coach? I’ve struggled with my weight for years, even though my cholesterol and other vital stats are really pretty good. I signed up for a personal coaching plan through the corporate wellness program offered by my employer. After having to reschedule a session with my coach, I realized that I was missing the conversation and that I always felt better when I talked with her. I thought to myself, “I want people to feel better when they talk to me.” I started looking at possible training programs, then enrolled in and completed the INHC certificate.
