Coaching Specialties
Women’s Health & Menopause
I work with women in their mid-30s and older helping them cope and thrive as they experience the mind and body changes of peri-menopause and menopause. Navigating through the hormones, emotions, social stigma and weirdness of midlife is not an easy trek. I serve as your guide, listening to you and helping you find the tools, techniques and lifestyle changes that work best for you.
Stress & Work-Life Balance
Coming from a career in the high-tech business world, I enjoy helping people in all walks of life build their resilience and develop strategies to manage home and workplace stress. I’m a Certified HeartMath Practitioner and can help you explore a range of mindfulness and stress transformation practices until you find what works best for you.
Brain Health & Alzheimer’s Coaching
I have completed specialized coach training based on the groundbreaking research of Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of The End of Alzheimer’s. I partner with clients who wish to optimize their brain health and I work with people who are going through the Apollo Health PreCODE and ReCODE Bredesen program for preventing, treating and reversing Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline.
Coaching for Care Partners
Having cared for an elderly parent with Alzheimer’s in my home, I understand the tremendous stress care partners can experience. Taking care of yourself is often the last thing on your mind, but it is absolutely essential. As a care partner coach, I work with you to help you deal with stress, build your resilience and maintain your mind-body health while serving as a partner and caregiver for others.
Keep moving.
Exercise and movement come in many forms. The key is finding what works for you, fits into your life and makes you feel great so you’ll make it a healthy habit.
De-stress.
Stress is natural. But constant stress with no relief takes a toll on your mind and body. Learn mindfulness techniques and other ways to manage stress so it doesn’t manage you.
Stick to it.
Inspiration gets you started, motivation keeps you going. Tapping into your strengths and internal motivations helps you stick to your plans and reach your goals.
How is a health coach different from a doctor, therapist or nutritionist?
The focus is on you becoming your best self.
As a coach, I help you make changes when change is hard. I don’t diagnose or prescribe. Rather, I partner with you on your journey to better health and wellness. I work with you to help you discover the mental, emotional and spiritual components that drive your motivation to heal, grow and reach your goals.
For example, maybe your doctor has advised you to lower your stress level, cut back on carbs or get more exercise. That’s great. So how do you make that work in real life?
That’s where health and wellness coaching comes in. The medical practitioner tells you where to go. As your coach, I help you find your path, then I walk that path with you, serving as your guide, offering you compassionate accountability and helping you stay motivated along the way.
