“If you tend to a flower, it will bloom, no matter how many weeds surround it.”
Hi, I’m the head Bloom Wellness Coach, former Director of Community Programs at Wellness Foundation, Certified Wellness Challenge Instructor, Certified WKids Educator and graduate of the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate Program at Cornell.
I’m also mum to a very tall, always hungry, 17-year-old man, who eats endless amounts of my healthy cooking. Some of my soul-care activities include very imperfect painting, laughing as often as possible, crushing it in pickleball, yoga and meditation, books, beach breezes, and connecting deeply with my people.
As a kid, I grew up with a hippie, health-food mum who didn’t allow soda, sugar or really anything that tasted good. So, of course I wanted all the sugar and all the junk. I was sold the first time I tasted birthday cake! Though I had a healthy foundation of food and exercise, I would gorge anytime I got near tantalizing treats.
As I got older and more rebellious, my mostly healthy baseline went out the window and in flew all the addictive stuff. If it was bad for me, I wanted it!
My free-range upbringing had manifested into wild and untethered. Finally, at 26, I became sick and tired of being sick and tired. I decided to get help and get healthy again. This was the beginning of my journey of self-discovery, healing, growth and happiness. I was on a quest to shed my old habits and addictions and create new ones that made me feel whole, nourished, and connected. I started to look inside, instead of out, to find my joy. I realized how important it was to have good people in your corner and I love being able to be one of those people for others now!
It became my mission to pass on to other women, teens and kids, all the tools, tips and strategies I have studied and learned over the years, about how to be well, both inside and out.
During my years at the non-profit, Wellness Foundation, I ran plant-based nutrition and wellness programs that helped countless women, teens and kids become the healthiest and happiest versions of themselves, free from self-sabotaging habits, and into lives blooming with potential. Now at Bloom Wellness, I can delve deeply into transforming people’s lives through my holistic 8 Branch approach.
It’s my greatest joy to work with people from all walks of life, using my depth of skills and knowledge, to transform their lives from surviving to thriving!
Why do i coach on health?
because our lives depend on it!
The quickest path to burnout as a busy woman is working all the time, doing everything for everyone and not taking care of yourself.
Since health and wellness looks different on everybody, I've made it my mission to help as many women and families as possible create a personalized health and wellness routine that fits into their lifestyle.
I want you to have more balance, joy and fun in your life, and have more energy to live it. Because your life depends on it!
