As a weight and wellness coach, I support people who want to work towards a healthier weight through a more balanced, fulfilling life. My philosophy and focus includes conscious consumption and active living, but that's just a part of it. A holistic approach, considering all aspects of a person in the larger context of wellness, supports clients in achieving a weight loss that is sustainable and a life that is good.
My intent is to provide clients with the confidence, resources and support to achieve weight loss, be it through one-on-one coaching or group programs.
I bring both passion and practical experience to wellness coaching, as my natural way of being is to live healthily. I am motivated by both the difficult challenge that exists and the potential for changing lives.
It is well known that people who have support during stressful or changing times experience fewer negative effects. I offer support.

When the Suit Fits - A Tailor Made Approach to Diet and Fitness
Believe it or not, when I’m working in my home office I’m NOT wearing a snappy little outfit, shiny shoes and fresh lipstick, though you may have imagined me that way. My company dress code is pretty relaxed most days of the week, not just Fridays. But I do leave the comfort of my home office ...

Shaking the Foundation - Understanding Change
I consider myself pretty lucky to have an enormous back yard, complete with mature trees, a maintenance free patio, and even a sliver of privacy. This yard is ripe with potential, but frankly, it’s just a bit boring. For a long time I contemplated ways to make it more interesting and visually ...
