My Story
My coaching journey started with a loved one falling and breaking their back. Everyone told me there was no way they would survive. I refused to believe the hopeless situation and stepped up to provide encouragement and motivation. During their recovery to full mobility, I realized that senior health and wellness is an increasing societal concern. A significant fall often triggers a long road of hospitalizations and rehabilitation. Falling is scary by itself; imagine not having anyone to help you up or hear your cries for assistance. My family member's experience made me aware of the need for expanded attention to health & wellness in the senior community. Health coaching for 55+ is client-driven and builds on strengths, values, and goals to improve overall health and reduce stress. Most importantly, it places the client in the best condition to thrive!

Mission-Focused
My goal is to empower clients to become the best version of themself. I seek to coach others to achieve their health and wellness goals through motivation and encouragement. As active participants in their life-story, change is possible. Through a healthy cooperative partnership, clients tap into their hidden potential. Their success is their self-doing as they realize a healthy and happy vision for their future. Coaching is client-driven and centered on self-efficacy. Essentially, they chart the course, and I serve as their compass in whatever direction they seek.
