I am a registered nurse with 16+ years of clinical experience in many different settings. Disheartened and burned out by the current medical model of reactive, protocol driven care, I found a new approach to helping people through nurse coaching. As a board certified nurse coach, I have permission to express myself fully, offer my humanity to others and take time to curate relationships that bring about true transformation in my clients' lives. By combining my years of clinical expertise with my heart for others, I am deeply aligned with my calling as a healer. I have stepped into this role with a humble heart and strong character. 

The biggest pivots in life sometimes come in the tiniest spaces. Speaking literally here, the space between our heads and our hearts is a relatively small distance. However, some of us live our lives with a deep chasm between the two. 

To bridge that gap and create open lines of communication (and cooperation) between what we think of ourselves and what we really are, is the goal. Our true authentic self is one of expansiveness and love. When our brains are along for the ride of life, we start leading with our hearts and body. And we lean into the good life, into your life as it is now and create the path for something new and better. Whatever that means for you- it is your life.

Working together looks like:

- deep dive into the story line- what have you believed about yourself in the        past? How has this affected your ability to feel happiness and joy? 

- rewrite! through creative and mindful practices suited to your needs

- specialized nutrition plans to boost your knowledge of and appreciation for      the nourishing aspects of food. Begin to see food as medicine, not the enemy. 

- unwavering support as you unburden yourself from the physical and                  emotional weight you have carried thus far 

- accountability and flexibility as your goals unfold and you step into your            life more and more fully 

​

My coaching is ideal for those who: 

- have struggled with eating disorders

- body dysmorphia

- those who feel that they are waiting to live their life until something comes        along like: perfect body, weight loss, ideal job, kids getting older, retirement...

- those who want to learn about embodiment and 

- who want to fundamentally change their relationship with food 

- those with chronic pain who are ready to change their lived experience of           pain (https://empoweredrelief.stanford.edu/)

- I also offer functional medicine therapeutic diet planning for those who              have been referred.
