Holistic Life Coaching
Wellness in mind, body and spirit
What if you could learn how to let go and move forward?
We all get stuck from time to time in our circumstances, old beliefs, patterns and fear.
But there is a better way to live, with less suffering and more action. If you want to feel better now, there’s no better time.
Does this sound familiar?
You’re in a funk + overwhlemed by life.
There is nothing more disheartening than feeling lost and unable to see a way out. Most of us live with massive amounts of daily stress, extra weight and have forgotten what real wellness is. I work with women who are feeling stuck and disconnected especially in their health and relationships. As a result of working together you feel more connected to yourself, free from the drama and more capable to handle life’s ups and downs.
The things you’ve tried so far haven’t worked.
Do you feel alone or unsupported on your journey? Are you stuck in a cycle of overwhelm, doubt and drama? Would you call yourself a people pleaser or a perfectionist? There is a better way than beating yourself up, feeling disappointed and frustrated with life. Together, you will learn how to truly process your feelings, let go and heal from things like chronic pain, anxiety and heartbreak.
Life gut punched you with a massive, unexpected change and you’re left thinking…now what?
Getting knocked down is part of life and sometimes getting back up can feel impossible. Everything feels too big, too much, too hard. You’re stuck, afraid or feeling guilty for moving on. You know you need to heal, but haven’t figured out how to do that yet. What you really need is someone who’s been there to hold your hand while you rebuild your life.
Life Coaching
Did you know that suffering is optional?
It’s true. Living in physical or emotional pain doesn’t have to be how you spend the rest of your life. The magic of coaching happens when you are able to witness your own beauty, worth, and wholeness.
And when you can finally see how you’ve been conditioned your whole life to bottle up your feelings, to put other’s needs ahead of your own, to downplay how you really feel and what you want, you can begin to heal.
What are the stories you tell yourself?
You are meant to shine.
In the safety of a deep soulfull conversation, we get to the root of your pain, discover the stories you’ve believed up till now and take meaningful action towards a new way of being.
If you’re ready for transformation, there is no better time to change your life. I can help you:
- Get unstuck from pain, suffering and disconnection
- Ditch limiting beliefs that hold you back
- Shift relationships + set healthy boundaries
- Work through big life changes + transitions
- Create balance and healthy habits
- Stop suffering + find true healing

FAQS
What is a coaching session like?
Our 60 minute zoom or phone session will include a varity of tools and conversation. I use mind/body/spirit awareness to help you tap into your wholeness.
Some sessions include breathwork, guided visualizations or meditations. We may do some inner child healing and some somatic tracking to help you find the pain and work through it.
Towards the end of the session, I will help you to come up with an action step you can take over the coming days to put all you’ve learned into practice.
What are your areas of expertise, what kind of coaching do you do?
Life Coaching: My main areas of coaching center around adjusting to change and transformation. I am a graduate of Martha Beck’s Wayfinder Life Coach Training (Oprah’s life coach). I can help you find your inner compass and the path towards your best life. I don’t give you the answers (sorry!) but I help navigate you toward happiness and success in your life.
Wellness Coaching: I also am a certified health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I provide guidance and accountability to my clients to help them reach their wellness goals. I use nutrition, yoga and mindfulness to help my clients find balance, reduce overwhelm around food and find ways to improve their health and overall wellness. Together we find the style of eating that is right for you, no one-size fits all, each client has a specific plan created around their bio-individual needs.
Yoga and Meditation: I am also an RYT 200 hour certified yoga teacher. I teach a combination of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga and infuse guided relaxation and meditation into my classes to create experiences that are grounded and gentle.

How is coaching different from therapy?
You go to a coach or personal trainer when you want to get into shape. When you want to learn the tools to take you to the next level.
What was your wellness journey like?
My first experience with loss happened in my early twenties when my baby sister died. I spent more than a decade trying to outrun grief but eventually it caught up to me in the form of chronic pain and depression.
In my 30’s I started having chronic headaches and I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and Endometriosis. I had a major surgery that left me depressed and in bed for about a year and a half. Food was my only comfort and I ended up gaining 30 lbs. I missed out on a lot of life, and struggled with depression and anxiety every single day. I lost most of my relationships and the loneliness got worse and worse.
I felt purpose-less
I felt hope-less
I felt shackled by pain and health issues
Just before turning 40, I decided to take control of my health and started learning about insulin resistance, gut health and how to eat for MY body. All my energy went into my recovery and to date I’ve lost over 50lbs. I’ve been a student of alternative health for decades and I always opt for natural remedies when I can. I believe the body can and will heal itself. I believe that the body holds the answers to what we truly want in life. The body is amazing and can heal itself if we give it the right nutrition and learn to manage our stress.
Today I feel AMAZING, even better than I did before I got sick, I have an abundance of energy and I no longer have to deal with seasonal illness.
Long story short: I know what it’s like to feel sick, isolated and without purpose.
But I also know what it’s like to recover and to GET YOUR LIFE BACK.
What are your core beliefs?
My core beliefs
- Everyone deserves to feel good – This is your birthright. Even in the midst of chaos or loss, you deserve to have wellness.
- Work through your shit – no one is going to do this for you. But it is required to live the life that is meant for you. You must become a seeker and put in the work.
- Take action – action relieves anxiety. If you are frozen in fear, this is your wake up call. The only way out is through. Take action, do the thing you’re scared of. You won’t regret it.
- Food is medicine – The body is amazing and can heal itself if we give it the right nutrition and learn to manage our stress. Healing your body is easier than you think , you just have to take the first step.
