Reigniting good health and excitement, one beautifully-unique body at a time 

Hey there! 

I’m so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to hear what’s on your mind.

What’s more, I’d love to hear your story.

Does it go something like this?

Once upon a time, you felt strong and healthy.

And whatever you loved most—dancing, traveling, gardening, running, even working — you did with ease and happy satisfaction.

But as the years flew, careened and toppled into midlife, your fitness, relationships, career and other priorities morphed and shifted.

And somewhere along the line, your health began to take a hit. 

Maybe it wasn’t such a big deal at first. Just ordinary stuff like knee twinges, a bit of insomnia, a few pounds creeping on, a few more wrinkles.

Then hormones went wild, hot flashes raged. More weight piled on. Insomnia becomes the norm. Stress got harder and harder to shake.

And now, though wildly hoping for many active years ahead, you’re reflecting on your current situation . . .

“Really? Is this how my life is going to be from now on? Is this what my body is going to be like? I feel so drained! What has happened to me? I thought I’d have everything figured out by now!”

If thoughts like these eat away at your peace of mind, it’s okay, I got you.

I love helping open-minded women like you take back their once strong, healthy bodies and relight their adventurous “I can do anything I set my heart on!” spirit, so they can create - and live - an active, fulfilling life they love.

Why?

Because I know firsthand how amazing it feels to finally kick a lifetime of dream-sucking limitations to the curb.

To take back the elated, springy energy and wonder of childhood.

And start living like I really f***ing mean it.

In fact, since turning 46 . . .

• I picked up motorcycling again, now own three bikes and ride them whenever I can.

• Created an opportunity for myself to help a nonprofit - in Kigali, Rwanda - untangle their budget woes.

• Completed two 70.3 mile half-Ironman triathlons and numerous shorter races (including mud-runs!)

• Plus, I’ve hiked the 43-mile Salkantay trail in Peru, trekked to the gorillas in Uganda, and hiked to Karisoke in Rwanda to visit Dian Fossey’s grave.

My life has been a complete 180 compared to where I used to be. And I’m so thankful!

However, before this? Not so good.

While I started riding dirt bikes at 8 and got my motorcycle license at 16, for years, my “out there” self was hidden.

Anxiety and depression, surgery for diseased tonsils at 13, cigarettes, pot, drinking, surgery for a benign breast tumor when I was 15 . . . that was just the start of my checkered health history.

I welcomed young adulthood and entered college with even more issues: from acute and chronic pain, infections and migraines to doubting myself, numbing myself, wanting to hide and avoiding reality.

People I trusted told me “It’s all in your head!” Was it true? I couldn’t always tell.

Isolated, angry, bewildered and just plain tired, I often felt like something must be wrong with me, as a human. Why else would all these messed up things keep happening?

Thankfully, my health stabilized by my mid-20s after gallbladder surgery. Marriage to the musical fellow who captured my heart, earning my Master’s from NYU, working in the non-profit world of women’s health and environmental issues, and motherhood also enriched my health and happiness beyond measure.

2009 was a year of massive disruption. 

My mom, just 76, died suddenly but not surprisingly, of a massive stroke from years of high blood pressure. Though she lived much longer than her own mother (who also died of high blood pressure, at the tender age of 54), my mom was frustratingly stubborn and soothed her own self-doubt with food.

Her death was like an earthquake, and now I had to figure out how to move forward through the devastated and desolate landscape.

In retrospect, watching my mother free fall deeper and deeper into her pain and illness made me realize I wanted to have as much control as possible over my own aging.

I did NOT want to repeat my mother’s or my grandmother’s experience.

Talk about a wake-up call!

My literal ‘aha’ moment came in a women’s financial advice seminar. I asked, “What 3 things can I do NOW to assure a good retirement in the future?”

As soon as the words left my mouth, I gasped! I had an epiphany!

The answer was simple . . .

Just one thing . . .

GET HEALTHY.

Upon realizing my health is my most valuable personal asset, I embarked on my own health reinvention. 

I’d already quit smoking and drinking. Now I was determined to raise my health to even higher standards.

I was also excited to make a profound difference helping other people take back their health, too.

In 2012, I completed the Duke Integrative Medicine foundational program, then received my Integrative Health Coach Professional Training Certificate in 2016.

I kept going and sat for the inaugural National Board Medical Examiners Certification for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBC-HWC) in 2017. And I immersed myself in paleo/primal lifestyle research, and received my Primal Health Coach Institute Certification in 2017.

It’s been an amazing ride. And I’m having the time of my life—happy, brave, and fully me! Fully alive! 

And this is exactly what I help my clients do, too. So they can claim all the fun, wonder and vibrant good health they dare imagine.
