About Me
As a Trauma-Informed Certified Functional Health Coach with a Master’s in Organizational Leadership and a Bachelor’s in Health Administration, I bring over 30 years of experience in healthcare to my work with women and young families. My approach begins at the root—addressing the nervous system, stress physiology, and early life experiences that shape our patterns of health, behavior, and connection. My personal journey, from early adversity to professional burnout, ignited a passion to help others break cycles of chronic stress and emotional overwhelm. I understand the real-life challenges of building new habits in the midst of caregiving, exhaustion, and life’s messiness. That’s why I created the Soul Essentials Roots for Freedom model, a simple, compassionate framework designed to meet families where they are. It’s realistic, doable, and rooted in evidence-based practices that support long-term well-being. As a mother of two and a proud grandmother of three, I lead with empathy, humor, and deep respect for the resilience that lives within each of us. My goal is to walk alongside women and children as they engage, enrich, and empower their lives—on their own terms and at their own pace.
What We Do
As your coach, I’m here to help you build healthy, sustainable habits for you and your family—without turning everyone's life upside down or making you eat kale at every meal (unless you’re into that). We’ll keep things low-pressure and take small steps that actually helps you thrive. I’ll take the time to get to know what works for you, so we can create a strategy that feels good, fits your life, and leads to long-term wins—with zero guilt and maybe a few laughs along the way.
Your kitchen is the heart of your home and of your health. Let’s kick the confusion out of the kitchen. We’ll put together a game plan for grocery shopping, meal prepping, cooking (yes, even the ‘what’s for dinner?’ panic), so you can make mindful, feel-good food choices without losing your sanity....
or living off cereal.
From restful sleep to navigating life’s challenges with confidence, your daily choices play a big role in your health. I’ll guide you in building habits that nurture your energy, boost your confidence, and encourage self-compassion—helping you create a life that feels vibrant, sustainable and in harmony. Resilience is possible!
By combining science-based strategies with a holistic approach, we tap into the power of awareness to drive lasting transformation. When you understand how your mind, body, and emotions work together, change becomes natural—helping you thrive in ways that truly align with your needs.
