My real “aha” moment came when I noticed how many children were struggling with weight issues. Determined to make a difference, I opened five Kids Fitness Studios where exercise felt like play and children learned to love being active. This experience sparked my deeper mission to inspire wellness across every stage of life.
As my focus shifted, so did my audience. Today, I dedicate my work to supporting women over 50, helping them navigate the unique challenges of midlife and menopause. I believe aging is inevitable, but how we age is a choice. Through fun, nourishing, and consistent practices, I empower women to rediscover their health and vitality in ways that feel authentic and joyful.
Why Being Board Certified Matters
Becoming a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) represents the highest standard in the health coaching industry. While health coaching itself is a powerful tool for creating positive, lasting change, being board certified offers an extra layer of credibility, ensuring I meet rigorous national standards and possess the skills and knowledge to partner effectively with clients and the medical community.
Board certification isn’t required to practice, but it has become a defining way to stand out. It demonstrates my dedication to ongoing education, behavior change science, and the ability to empower clients in achieving their health goals. For those seeking support in traditional healthcare settings or simply looking for the most qualified guidance, board certification offers peace of mind.
The process to achieve this designation was challenging but deeply rewarding. Over 1200+ hours of studying, accountability groups, and in-depth learning on topics such as behavioral psychology, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, and chronic disease management have prepared me to meet my clients’ unique needs with expertise and compassion.
I’m honored to have joined an elite group of NBC-HWC coaches. This designation enables me to help clients navigate complex health challenges such as hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, weight loss struggles, diabetes, and gut health—all while fostering sustainable behavior changes. Whether you’re looking to improve energy, reduce medication, or create the healthiest version of yourself, my training ensures you’ll receive evidence-based support every step of the way.
