Health Coach, Fitness Professional & Guide for Women Navigating Life Transitions


Women come to me because they’re ready for something different — a way of caring for their bodies and minds that is compassionate, sustainable, and grounded in real life.
They’re overwhelmed, stretched thin, shifting identities, or feeling their body change in ways they didn’t expect.
And they want a guide who sees the whole picture.

That’s where I come in.

My Philosophy: Wellness That Meets You Where You Are

I believe women deserve support that honors the complexity of their lives — not rigid plans, unrealistic expectations, or “all-or-nothing” approaches.

My work blends:

  • evidence-based health coaching
  • functional strength training 
  • mindful movement and yoga 
  • behavior change psychology
  • emotional support
  • real-world habit building

Because you don’t need perfection — you need a path that fits the woman you are today and the woman you’re becoming.

My Story (the personal part that matters)

My Story (the personal part that matters)

I’ve spent decades immersed in health, movement, and wellbeing — as a personal trainer, yoga instructor, and certified health coach.

I’ve spent decades immersed in health, movement, and wellbeing — as a personal trainer, yoga instructor, and certified health coach. But I’ve also lived the very transitions I now help women navigate. The  same transitions that  can stand in the way of healthy habits and can impact overall wellbeing:

  • stages of motherhood and challenging family dynamics
  • divorce
  • career reinvention
  • hormonal shifts 
  • identity changes 
  • rebuilding after loss 
  • rediscovering my body and my strength 

I know what it feels like to lose yourself… and what it takes to return to your center. My work is an extension of that lived experience — a blend of science, intuition, empathy, and strategy. Women don’t need more discipline. They need more support, structure, and self-understanding.
That’s the heart of what I teach.

My Credentials & Expertise (the professional grounding)

BS Health Science with a Focus on Exercise Science

MS Ed School Psycology 

Certified Personal Trainer (ACE since 2003)
Certified Yoga Instructor (RTY 500 since 2012)

Advanced Certified Health Coach (ACE  since 2016)
25+ years in health, movement, and wellness
Specialized experience supporting women through stress, perimenopause transitions, emotional shifts, and midlife reinvention
Background in behavior change, habit formation, and compassionate accountability
My years of study matter — but it’s the combination of expertise and lived human experience that shapes my approach.

Who I Work With

Women who are:  Stressed, overwhelmed, or emotionally stretched; navigating body changes or hormonal shifts; rebuilding after major life transitions; trying to feel strong again — physically, mentally, emotionally; tired of starting over; craving a more compassionate, holistic approach to wellness.   

Whether through health coaching, strength training, or yoga, my goal is the same:  To help you feel grounded, capable, confident, and more connected to yourself.


My Promise to You

I will work with you to meet you where you're at. Together we will collectively uncover the strategy and plan that works best for you.  I won’t push you into harsh routines or rigid expectations or force you in any direction.

I won’t treat you like a project.

And I won’t ask you to become a “new you.”

Instead, I’ll help you return to the truest version of yourself — the one that’s been buried under stress, expectations, and life’s demands.

Together, we’ll build strength, stability, clarity, and wellbeing from the inside out.
