With over 25 years of personal yoga practice and 25 years in recovery, my work is deeply rooted in lived experience. Having navigated my own healing from childhood experiences, I understand how deeply our past can live in the body—and I continue to approach this work with humility, curiosity, and compassion. I’m a former Director of Community Programs at Wellness Foundation, a Certified Wellness Challenge Instructor, Certified WKids Educator, and a graduate of the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate Program at Cornell. My approach has blossomed into an integrative path, weaving together movement, mindfulness, nervous system awareness, and self-inquiry to support your growth, balance, and resilience. Some of my favorite forms of soul-care include art journaling, yoga and meditation, getting lost in a good book, beach breezes, and meaningful connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6171872ca0235158624f02f0/7e6a25b5-1fd9-4c3e-a554-73f6113e2b72/Health+and+Wellness+Coach+Near+Me About My path to this work wasn’t linear. I grew up in a very health-conscious household, which, in its own way, led me to push in the opposite direction. Over time, that turned into a deeper struggle with balance, habits, and self-connection. By my mid-20s, I reached a turning point—feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally depleted. Choosing recovery, and connecting with my own yoga practice, became the beginning of a long journey of healing, growth, and coming back to myself. What I’ve learned along the way is that true wellness isn’t about restriction or perfection—it’s about connection. Connection to your body, your inner experience, your choices, and the support around you. This understanding is what led me to trauma-informed yoga. I saw how essential it is to feel safe in your body before real change can happen. My work centers on creating a space where people feel supported, empowered, and free to move at their own pace—whether through yoga, coaching, or wellness practices. During my years at Wellness Foundation, I led programs in nutrition, mindfulness, and movement, supporting adults, teens, and children in shifting out of self-sabotaging patterns and into more vibrant, connected lives. Today, through Bloom Wellness and Yoga, I bring together everything I’ve learned into a holistic, compassionate approach that honors each person’s unique path—including folks with trauma, those in recovery, those navigating stress or burnout, and anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves. It’s my greatest joy to support people in moving from surviving to truly thriving—with more ease, awareness, and self-trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6171872ca0235158624f02f0/14906930-a4ef-4ce0-9b5c-ad8b95f5b024/Health+Coach About - Why do i coach on health? because our lives depend on it! The quickest path to burnout as a busy person is working all the time, doing everything for everyone and not taking care of yourself.

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! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6171872ca0235158624f02f0/7e6a25b5-1fd9-4c3e-a554-73f6113e2b72/Health+and+Wellness+Coach+Near+Me About (Copy) 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 folks, 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 adults, 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! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6171872ca0235158624f02f0/14906930-a4ef-4ce0-9b5c-ad8b95f5b024/Health+Coach About (Copy) - Why do i coach on health? because our lives depend on it!
