Improved health and wellness through sustained habit change
“If I can do this, anyone can”
Like many who land in the wellness arena through struggles of their own, I became a coach out of the desire to help others like me: low in willpower, distracted by shiny things, and a having a predilection for negative self-talk. These “factory settings” made the changes I desired in my life difficult to undertake and sustain.
One lucky day, I discovered the science of mindfulness, and it is not hyperbole to say that it changed the trajectory of my life. Mindfulness, the practice of cultivating awareness and attention with kindness, is the foundational skill of my own healing and health journey, and I use it in many forms as the centerpiece of my work. Mindfulness celebrates imperfection and the information and growth that results from examining it. As a curious, kind and generous way to move through the world and our experiences, mindfulness is an important skill for behavioral change.
I wrap mindfulness work into my coaching style, which has been described as warm, funny and direct; I am a Jersey Girl, after all.
One of my favorite quotes, comes from researcher Al Switzler, (who coined the term Skill-power): “Let a bad day become good data.”

“What excites me most as a coach and teacher, is seeing my clients consistently using the skills they learn to empower themselves and create sustainable change.”
It all starts with the super-skill of mindfulness
Find the skill-power toward your inner piece
Health Coaching
I refer to myself as a facilitator: I support the ideas my clients envision for themselves by helping them to create an authentic and lasting outcome. A facilitator helps one to explore and embrace new perspectives and possibilities. We do this together through candid conversations as we co-create strategies that allow you to venture out of your comfort zone. Together we create a relationship of trust and collaboration. I help clients courageously work their edges, make brave choices and find their own inner piece.
Mindfulness
Through my live online classes, you will the experience the alchemy that happens when a group of people, open and ready for change, come together and help each other learn and grow. I offer classes in mindfulness, brain and gut health, no-gimmick sustainable weight management, and pure habit-change. I don’t do quick fixes, but I do believe everyone should be able to afford this work, so I structure my programs accordingly. Once you are finished with a program, you can join one of my bi-monthly support sessions to stay connected and continue
The Bredesen Protocol
I am fortunate to be part of the small but mighty Apollo Health team, helping to deliver the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen and The Bredesen Protocol to those who most need it. As an Apollo content creator, group facilitator and coach, I work closely with the experts in this ground-breaking functional approach to Alzheimer’s. As one of the developers and facilitators of Apollo’s KetoFLEX 12/3 education group, I have helped over 400 Apollo members (often referred to as “brain health pioneers”) to find their skill-power as they incorporate this revolutionary, but challenging, nutrition plan and lifestyle into their lives.
