About Me
I have been a registered nurse for more than 25 years and have worked in a variety of specialties. I transitioned out of transitional nursing into a career in coaching and functional medicine because I believe that people can obtain optimal wellness of their physical body through lifestyle changes, stress reduction, and identifying the root cause of their symptoms. However, coaching is not just limited to physical health. As a coach, I guide clients through self-discovery and growth and inspire people to live the life they want for themselves. I can help clients take a challenging, stressful, or negative experience and move forward from it in a positive way and with a sense of hope.
As a coach, I have the privilege of forming relationships spending quality time with my clients ,and providing a safe, non-judgmental space for the client to share their feelings with me. With individualized coaching, I can form deep bonds with my clients. My clients receive personalized support and I can engage with them at the deepest level. I consider it a great privilege to hold space for the clients to think, speak, and reflect on the things that matter most to them. I can help the client feel truly seen and heard. When the client is given the time, space, and support, it is truly incredible how lives can be transformed through simple conversations.
