National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Whole Food Plant-Based Chef Instructor & Founder of Live Oak Health and Wellness

My mission is to help women 50+ feel stronger, more energized, and more in control of their well-being. Whether you're trying to reduce stress, sleep better, eat in a way that supports your body, or manage a chronic health condition, I’ll help you take steady, meaningful steps toward the life you want.

As a coach, I believe you are already whole. My job is to walk beside you - to guide, encourage, and cheer you on as you build new habits and find what works best for you.

I bring over 20 years of leadership experience in global companies and more than 8 years as an executive coach. I’ve taught thousands of professionals how to lead and live with heart and clarity. My approach blends proven tools from behavior science, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and positive psychology, all personalized for you.

What to Expect When We Work Together

In our initial free, no obligation 45-minute session strategy session, we’ll explore what you want from coaching. Once we start our engagement, you’ll lead the way, and I’ll be your coach, partner, and support system. Between sessions, I may give you reflections or small activities to keep things moving forward. I love getting to know what makes each person tick and helping them bring their strengths to life.
