ABOUT ME
MY STORY
In my early twenties, I accomplished something lots of people spend a lifetime trying to do: I lost 40 lbs and have kept it off. How did I lose over 20% of my body weight and keep it off? I incrementally re-designed my life to create a healthier lifestyle, learning what worked and didn't work for me from a place of curiosity and self-compassion.
This approach was so effective, it fostered a lifelong passion for health and wellness that eventually led me to coaching. As a health economist, I have long been fascinated by behavioral economics and the demand for health. Coaching science applies these principles to catalyze individual behavior change.
To learn the most effective coaching science, I trained in health and wellness coaching at Mayo Clinic. I now partner with clients who want to make improvements in their own health.

APPROACH
Health coaches bridge the gap between medical recommendations and lifestyle change. Instead of quick fixes and one-size-fits all, I’ll work with you on your personalized goals to create sustainable change that fits your lifestyle. Leveraging my background in biomedical research, I cut through the confusion and fear-mongering around health and wellness information.
I provide a non-judgmental and shame-free environment to support you in the process of developing new habits and reaching your goals. We celebrate the small wins, because those are the foundation of lasting change.
WHO I HELP
Coaching especially benefits people who feel like the changes their doctors recommend are too hard or won't help anyway. If you're managing a chronic condition like diabetes or pain, addressing prediabetes, or adjusting to a life-altering event like a heart attack, coaching supports building the skills to help you flourish.
