My path to coaching came through academia, where I coached and mentored young musicians for over twenty years. As a professional flutist, my body was my instrument, so I always had a strong interest in health and wellness and taught from a holistic perspective.

I have always been interested in personal growth and for many years had been reading self-help books and attending seminars and workshops. As I continued this work, I was excited to find more and more ideas to incorporate into my teaching. The results were gratifying. My students became more confident, managed stress and time better, overcame negative beliefs and obstacles and successfully dealt with performance anxiety. I began to realize that what I really loved about my job was the personal coaching I did with my students. So, I left my tenured university position to become a life coach.

After completing coach training from The Coaches Training Institute, I enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City and decided to focus on coaching holistic health and wellness.

Along the way, a friend introduced me to Dr. Christiane Northrup, who opened me up to new ideas about health, consciousness and prosperity. I became a member of Team Northrup, a league of entrepreneurial men and women who are philosophically aligned with the work of Dr. Northrup, a women’s wellness pioneer, world-renowned author and one of the country’s most respected authorities on women’s health. I also became a Certified Team Leader in Dr. Ray Strand’s Healthy for Life program and an Independent Associate of Usana Health Sciences.

I am continuing my own personal growth journey as a Quantum Leap member of Peak Potentials Training, taking experiential courses in business, finance and personal development. I am also a Sister of Awakening in Leela Francis’ Vividly Woman Circle.

I would love to help you find creative, natural solutions to your health challenges so that you can live your best life!
