How my journey began

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to caring for others — whether at the bedside as a young nurse, leading teams through times of change, or guiding people toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. My career has taken me from critical care units and counseling centers to leading major health organizations, and today, to helping individuals and teams unlock their potential through coaching, wellness, and growth.

Over the past 30+ years, I’ve had the privilege of serving in many roles: a nurse in intensive care, a therapist, a nonprofit CEO, a Red Cross leader, and now, a health and wellness coach. Along the way, I’ve discovered a common thread: real change happens when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to take the next step forward.

My work has taught me the importance of balance — blending compassion with strategy, science with humanity, and leadership with listening. That’s what I bring to my coaching and consulting today: a holistic, heart-centered approach that helps clients build resilience, clarity, and confidence in their health, careers, and lives.

When I’m not working with clients, you can find me volunteering in my community, spending time outdoors, or continuing to learn and share about health, wellness, and leadership.
