What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can lead integrative, trauma-informed wellness programs—partnering with communities and organizations, using breathwork and somatic healing, and measuring outcomes through coaching, workshops, and sustained support.

I’m a certified Health & Wellness Coach with 7+ years delivering individual and group coaching in breathwork, somatic healing, nutrition, stress management, and holistic well-being. I coach virtually, telephonically, and in person, supporting high-performance athletes, executives, and underserved communities with measurable, goal-driven progress.

I’ve coached 20+ NBA, NFL, and Olympic athletes and senior executives by designing evidence-based protocols that improve mental clarity, performance, and recovery outcomes. I also facilitate 10+ workshops, webinars, and immersive group wellness education, and I’ve partnered with organizations and HR teams to improve health engagement, teamwork, and productivity.

In leadership roles, I’ve directed wellness strategy and operations for a 13,000 sq. ft. healing and innovation hub and led statewide wellness engagement reaching 5,000+ individuals annually across urban, rural, and tribal communities. I collaborate cross-sector with nonprofits, healthcare agencies, and city stakeholders to align programming with community priorities and drive sustained participation.

Now, I’m pursuing an MS in Clinical Psychology (LPCC track) to deepen my expertise in behavioral health and trauma-informed care. My approach centers on motivational interviewing, goal-setting and action planning, culturally responsive care, and equitable access to wellness education.
