As a young girl I watched my mother lose her battle with breast cancer and witnessed how little was known about the connection with nutrition and lifestyle in cancer treatment and prevention. My mother died December 22, 1971 – one day before President Richard Nixon declared war on cancer. We haven’t won the war but we do know a lot more about it!

I currently have a 20+ year background in nutrition. It has been my mission over the years to learn and discover everything and anything to help myself and others get and stay healthy.                                                                             

As a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach I specialize in working with clients in the area of behavior change. This empowers clients to draw on their own internal strengths, develop self- knowledge and embrace self-management strategies. This is a partnership which allows you to be in charge of improving your own health and changing the outcome of disease. 

As a certified practitioner for HeartMath, I will be able to customize my clients needs with this invaluable tool, helping to navigate depression, anxiety and other areas due to stress responses. HeartMath is a form of biofeedback with a proven history of lowering stress and anxiety levels, strengthening your immune system, and promoting your body’s optimal performance.

I believe in work/life balance and as I coach others in work/life balance, stress reduction, health, nutrition, wellness and self accountability, I will continue to live by my own tenet of time in nature, with friends, recreation and most importantly my family here in Bozeman, Montana.
