Health & Wellness

I’m a health coach & consultant who spent 25 years in clinical practice as a chiropractor and whose first career was as a Medical Lab Scientist. Now I get to combine all my talents; the holistic-nutrition-lifestyle practice with the science and evidence-based geekiness of going down the research tunnel to figure out what will really work for you. I have additional training in Diet & Lifestyle Intervention, Women’s Health, Plant-based Nutrition, gut health. I'm a certified wellness coach & certified transformational life coach. I'm passionate about helping people to continue to do the things they love for the rest of their life. Longevity requires more than just eating a handful of pills (drugs OR vitamins & herbs). It's about the habits of how you eat, how (and how often) you move, how your gut microbiome functions and so much more. I help you put that plan in place that will allow to be bicycling or kayaking with your grandkids, hiking with your great grandkids or doing whatever it is that you want to do for a lifetime. If you're frustrated you don't have the energy and vitality you had earlier in life, I can help. If you want a more holistic approach to longevity and true prevention, education is the key. I see what I do as giving you choices, information & coaching that work; teaching you how to evaluate your choices as you continue to move through life. How We Got Started Even as a chiropractor for 25 years I've had my own run-ins with our healthcare system; a system that often doesn't address root cause. When I gained 20 lbs in 2 months with their approach to my menopause issues, I used my own science knowledge to do the research & figure out both how to lose the weight and how to resolve my problems naturally. That led me to coaching & helping others more holistically. I recently completed a 1200-mile bicycle trip through the fjords of Norway and came home with the renewed conviction to help others do what they are passionate about for the rest of their lives. I was disappointed that my partner & I were the only 2 non-Europeans, the only women who weren't with male partners and that I was oldest person out there! I came home with a renewed commitment to help others put the pieces in place to maintain lifetime mobility and do what they love till the day they leave this Good Earth.
