Story and Mission

---

I am a passionate clinician, coach and educator dedicated to helping YOU get "un-stuck" and live your best life.  Graduating  from a rigorous Master of Science in Occupational Therapy program and continually adding to my skills through life-long learning, I help you create your shape and learn that you CAN take excellent care of yourself. We work together to create lasting transformations that keep you highly optimized, clear and super healthy! Together you become CLEAR about your unique health vision and then work to make that vision a REALITY.

1.  Nutrition and health coaching:  A highly balanced program and simple formula for you to follow to achieve your desired physique. Your nutrition (micro and macro nutrients and hydration) , sleep, exercise,  gut health and energy level are all supported.

2.  Mindset Coaching.  Let's dust off your dreams and re-ignite the sparks to get you where you want to go! We work together to form a new identity as a person who takes excellent care of themselves, sets goals and achieves them.

3.  Fitness Coaching:  Become empowered with a better understanding of your own individual movement patterns, strength balance ratio and capacity. Learn  how to eat, rest, move and train your body.  Freshly armed with this information,  decrease the likelihood of injury while increasing your capacity to train with renewed intensity!

4. Empowerment Retreats Get back to the basics. Breathe and connect with nature. Remember what makes you YOU! Remember what makes you feel truly alive.  This is your birth right!
