A little about my journey to Nutrition/Life Coaching
My Background
Growing up with an alcoholic parent shaped much of my journey—learning to navigate emotional turmoil, seeking comfort in food, and struggling to set boundaries. As a child, food became my refuge, a way to soothe emotions I didn’t yet understand. By ten, dieting was the norm in my family, and I spent years chasing the illusion of control through countless weight-loss programs.
It wasn’t until I recognized that my relationship with food was deeply emotional that I broke free from the yo-yo cycle. Healing meant more than just changing eating habits—it required setting boundaries, understanding my emotions, and redefining balance. Now, as a certified Life and Nutrition Coach, a 500 RYT yoga teacher, and a school counselor with 29 years in education, I help women find that same freedom.
I’m happily married for 20 years, raising two incredible sons, and embracing the outdoors—especially when pine trees and crisp fall air are involved. Life is about balance, and I love guiding others to find theirs.
My Philosophy
I believe that everyone has the potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. By identifying and working towards their goals, my clients are able to unlock their full potential and create a life they love. Now is the TIME to Thrive In Mind & Body Everyday!
