What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to empower clients through personalized wellness strategies and collaborative care.

As a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I specialize in guiding clients towards effective behavior change that aligns with their personal values and beliefs. My approach is rooted in collaboration, where I work closely with clients and their medical teams to enhance overall care and address the root causes of health concerns.

With experience in both one-on-one and group settings, I have successfully implemented comprehensive weight care programs, providing instructional care that fosters motivation, respect, and accountability. My commitment to honoring clients' free will and showing unconditional positive regard has been instrumental in helping them achieve their health goals.

In addition to my coaching experience, I have a strong background in education, having taught various grades and served as a literacy interventionist. This diverse experience allows me to connect with clients of all ages and backgrounds, making me a versatile and empathetic coach.
