I came to health coaching through my own interest in health and wellness. I've always been drawn to learning about fitness, nutrition, sleep, and the many factors that influence how we feel. During a time when family relationships in my life were especially challenging, I also discovered the value of mindfulness and the powerful role mindset can play in our well-being.

Later, when I encountered health challenges of my own, I learned how important it was to have support that listened—not only to the available information, but also to my experience in my own body and the unique way I responded to different approaches.

Interestingly, health coaching wasn't something I initially considered for myself. It was my family and friends, watching me navigate my own journey, who first suggested it. They saw in me the experience and ability to support others as they navigated their own paths to better health.

When I began my training with the Nutritional Therapy Association, I realized they were right. My experiences had prepared me for this work in ways I hadn't expected, and I discovered a new passion: helping people uncover what works for them and supporting them as they create meaningful, sustainable change in their health and lives.
