I am a nurse who has been burnt out for most of my life. Only recently did I learn why. That awareness shifted my entire perspective and led to changes that finally allowed me to love myself and care for myself. Time after time in my life, my sense if identity was stripped away by circumstance. For many years I felt like I could only provide less-than-life-changing care to hospital patients. The meaning I found in my career slipped away the healthcare system slowly collapsed around me. Then, as a patient, the "system" placed the last straw upon my back; the one that broke me. I struggled and built myself back up into something new and beautiful, and my new understanding motivates me to share what I have learned. 

I am a health and wellness coach with an integrative and holistic approach, backed by clinical experience. That means I am especially well qualified to coach those challenged by disease or illness. Regardless of your baseline health, I approach your needs with a meta-lens, exploring biological, psychological, spiritual, cultural, sociological, and environmental factors that you might not have considered. Beyond mental and physical health, things like trauma, shame, stress, self-worth, oppressive systems, community, and finances often stand in the way of meaningful change. Finding and incorporating lifestyle changes incorporate is easier when we remove these barriers.
