Welcome
Let's begin your journey...

We are Educare, Mind, Body, and Soul.

Do you ever find yourself wondering where your get-up-and-go went? Thinking, I need to “get rid” of my stress. I need to start eating better (or healthier). I need to be more active. I wish I could get a good night’s sleep. I NEED MORE ENERGY.  If I could just lose a few pounds.  If I could slow this "mind chatter". What if we approach our health and well-being as if we are eating a dinosaur, one bite at a time. We often overestimate what we can accomplish in one year, but we greatly underestimate what we can achieve in three years.
I am a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach with a Lifestyle Medicine certificate. I have a M.Ed., in special education physical/mental health, social sciences, psychology, and principal K-12. My experience as an educator, Behavioral Specialist, and a Health and Well-being coach has provided me with opportunities to learn and relate with people from all ages, demographics, and cultural backgrounds. My professional and personal experiences have taught me that we all have strengths in our stories. Let me be a part of your journey as you rediscover your strengths.
My experience, my education, and my life has prepared me to be your coach. My journey began years ago, after a series of life’s events showed to me that I needed to make a change. Health and Wellness Coaching enabled me and my loved ones to make that change.
Personal Development and Health and Wellness is about learning your strengths.  Getting rid of the guilt, shame, regret, etc. that weighs us down. By building upon your strengths, you become the best version of yourself. Life can be tough. By learning self-compassion and understanding how our mental health affects our physical health. I heard a quote once, “Life doesn’t get any better, we just have to get better at living it.” Health and Wellness coaching can help you develop the skills needed to “get better at living it.”
Spiritual Wellness. Do you believe in the afterlife? Do you believe in strengthening your soul? I studied various philosophies, religions, and ancient cultures and had my own spiritual journey. I discovered, whether it was the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, the Three-Fold Path, or the myths of the Ancient Greeks, etc., they all had one common theme; we humans are works in progress. We respond best to kindness, forgiveness, compassion, empathy and love.
Injury and Recovery Well-Being Coaching. You are the queen or king at backyard sports, whether on the court, on the field, or in the rink, you give it your all. One day, you are in the zone and you hear either “snap, crack, pop or maybe all three. What next? The healing can be daunting, but what is just as daunting is the loss of your independence, financial stress, and the physical and mental pain with an injury.
Aging Loved Ones Well-Being Coaching. We watched my parents slowly lose their independence. We didn’t realize it was happening. My sisters and I were unprepared, for the extra duties and for the reality that our parents are on the last leg of their journey. It teaches you to appreciate the impermanence of life.  The most precious thing we have is time.  I can aid you and your loved ones on this journey.   We will embrace the love that lights the world on fire. The Greeks call it Agape or love in action and there is no greater form of love. As we travel life’s journey sometimes, we have to do the heavy lifting. Let me help lighten the load.
I blend evidence-based practices, education, and engaging activities with Positive Psychology.  I like to compare my coaching to a farmer planting seeds. You are the soil, together we water, feed, nurture, and create healthy soil for the seeds to grow in. People rarely make long-term change by being told what to do. I team up with clients to create action plans, brainstorm, create long and short-term goals, and provide support.
I believe in a non-judgmental, client-focused safe space. I am passionate about helping others. You are the expert in your life. Only you know your passions and can unlock your purpose. You will notice these minor changes begin to have major impacts; you may even notice that feeling of joy.  We desire quick fixes, from fast food to our electronic devices. We want instant results. What if there are no quick fixes to our health? “Inch by inch life’s a cinch”.  Ask yourself, how will that food fuel my mind and body?  Is stressing about sitting in traffic or waiting in line, really stressing or just a bother? Do I really need all that drama from the news and social media? How should I let go of the baggage that is holding me back?
