What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my clinical expertise and coaching skills to empower clients towards better health outcomes in a supportive environment.

With over 23 years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my career to improving patient outcomes through innovative health coaching and nursing practices. My journey began as a Registered Nurse in intensive care and emergency settings, where I developed a deep understanding of chronic diseases and patient care. Over the years, I transitioned into functional nutrition and health coaching, focusing on empowering individuals to take charge of their health through personalized lifestyle changes.

Currently, I work as a Functional Medicine & Diabetes Coach, helping clients optimize their health and manage conditions like type 2 diabetes. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with compassionate support, ensuring that each client receives tailored guidance. I am also involved in creating educational content and coaching programs that resonate with diverse audiences, further enhancing my impact in the health and wellness community.
