My Story
My career in healthcare has been a journey of learning, leadership, and advocacy for health and well-being. I began my nursing career in diverse clinical settings, including dermatology, medical-surgical care, behavioral health, and addiction services. As I advanced, I took on leadership roles as a Nursing Supervisor, Manager, and Director of Nursing in acute care settings, where I gained valuable experience in patient care, team management, and healthcare operations. My work with the state department of health further expanded my expertise, allowing me to assess healthcare facilities for compliance with state and federal regulations, deepening my understanding of healthcare quality and policy.
As a peer reviewer for the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), I collaborated with state and local health departments seeking accreditation. In this role, I evaluated Essential Public Health Services, assessed policies and programs, and provided feedback to enhance their effectiveness. Through this work, I contributed to strengthening public health systems and promoting continuous quality improvement in communities. I hold an Associate Degree in Applied Science in Nursing, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and a Master of Science in Public Health, with a focus on researching chronic and infectious diseases, community health, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.
Building on my extensive background in healthcare and public health, I have dedicated the past several years to working as a health coach, helping adults navigate challenges such as workplace stress, interpersonal dynamics, general anxiety, motivation struggles, life transitions—including motherhood—and overall well-being. To enhance my ability to support clients effectively, I have pursued advanced training in Positive Psychology Coaching, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for coaching. Additionally, I have completed continuing education through the Institute for Brain Potential and hold certifications in Reiki, Crystal Reiki, and as a Certified HeartMath Practitioner. By integrating these diverse methodologies, I provide a well-rounded, evidence-informed approach to fostering resilience, emotional balance, and sustainable wellness strategies.
My personal journey toward holistic health began over 20 years ago, marked by struggles with insomnia, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. A medical diagnosis of fibromyalgia led to a regimen of prescription medications, which not only failed to alleviate my suffering but also introduced a slew of adverse side effects, making daily functioning even more challenging. Traditional treatments fell short, prompting me to explore alternative healing methods. A chance discovery of Reiki transformed my life; I became a certified practitioner and integrated mindful meditation, gratitude practices, and nature walks into my daily routine. With the guidance of an integrative medicine specialist, I transitioned off prescription medications and adopted a regimen of supplements, intermittent fasting, and other holistic strategies that restored my well-being and helped me regain control over my life.
Today, I proudly live free from fibromyalgia symptoms, embodying my commitment to health and wellness. As a Health Coach, my goal is to empower individuals with personalized, holistic strategies that support their well-being. I work closely with clients to understand their unique challenges and develop tailored approaches that promote balance and a healthier lifestyle. Together, we’ll navigate your health journey, fostering sustainable habits that enhance your quality of life and help you achieve your wellness goals.
