LIFESTYLE/WELLNESS COACHING, FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE PLANNING
Throughout my years as a healthcare provider, I've realized that we have a model of sick care, rather than one of prevention and wellness. I've come to recognize that health and wellness extend far beyond diet plans and exercise regimens. True wellness encompasses a holistic approach that encompasses physical, mental, emotional and financial well-being.Working in the ICU and experiencing long-haul COVID myself forced me to reassess my priorities and lifestyle choices. My inability to exercise for two years was a huge wake up call for me, as my metabolic health took a hit. I realized many parts of my life weren't fostering my health, and started making big changes for myself. I want to help you do the same!
In my current role, in bariatric surgery, I assist patients daily in making the lifestyle changes necessary to sustain weight loss. My mission is to guide and support those who are ready to embark on a transformative journey toward lasting health and vitality.
I am very passionate about physical, metabolic, and financial health and almost obsessively consume as much content as I can on these subjects.
Together, let's embark on a journey toward optimal health, well-being and longevity.

NUTRITION/FITNESS COACHING
With a deep passion for health and fitness, my 20 years in corporate healthcare left me wanting to help people truly optimize their health instead of turning to pharmaceuticals or surgery. Leveraging my extensive experience, I co-founded Island Strength and Movement alongside my husband, which has grown to include a second location dedicated as a wellness center. Together, these facilities reflect our commitment to empowering individuals through physical activity, nutrition, and comprehensive wellness practices.
As a certified group exercise instructor, Integrated Nutrition Health Coach, Menopause Coaching Specialist, Advanced Macro Specialist, and FASTer Way to Fat Loss Fitness and Nutrition Coach, I provide actionable guidance to help my clients optimize their health and thrive.
I reside with my husband and triplet boys in the charming community of Friday Harbor.
