It is funny how life sometimes leads you down paths that you had never imagined. Growing up, I wanted to be a teacher or a psychologist. In college I received my BA in Social Work. My professional career started with foster care and then later to working at a mental health center for children and families. When I became a mother, I decided to stay home. While being a stay-at-home Mom, I started working out at a local fitness center. Long story short, I ended up being offered to teach fitness classes and started studying and received several certificates, including Pilates Mat, Pilates Reformer and Kids in Motion. I have been teaching fitness classes, especially Pilates since 2004.
​
Despite working out 6 days a week, sometimes 2-3 times per day. I started noticing my health slowly decline. By 2008, I was struggling with sleeping and achy muscles. About every 6 months I went to the doctor to let him know that I was not getting better and that my symptoms were increasing. After years of no answers and no help, I decided to take my health into my own hands by researching and looking into natural medicine. The outcome was discovering a world of natural healing including massage, reiki, quantum biofeedback, essential oils, reflexology,using food as medicine, and so much more. As I saw the benefits of natural healing, I decided that I wanted to help others discover this world of healing and to be someone who could provide some forms of natural healing. 

I began by studying reflexology and received my certificate in January of 2011. Since then I have added other therapies. I list my education below in order they were received:

  • BA in Social Work (Worked with Juvenile Justice Authority, Foster Care and Adoption, and Mental Health Center)
  • Certified Pilates Mat Instructor
  • Certified Kids in Motion Instructor
  • Certified Pilates Reformer Trainer
  • Certified Reflexologist
  • Certified Breastfeeding Peer Counselor
  • Certified Myokinesthetic Practitioner
  • Certified Aromatherapy Teacher
  • Certified Indian Head Massage Therapist

I am not certified, but have experience in the following:
  • Wellness and Body Alignment Coaching
  • Massage
  • Group Fitness Instructor
  • Color and Chakra Therapy
  • Raindrop Therapy
  • Detoxing Foot and Body Baths
  • Body Alignment and Proper Function
  • Acupressure and Trigger Point Therapy

Coaching is a natural part in all the things that I do above. Many clients have told me that as much coaching and information that I provide, that I should go into coaching. After years of hearing this calling, I am stepping out as a Holistic Wellness Coach and expanding out of my local office and into a global opportunity to share what I know with others.
