As a Professional Certified Health Coach, Chronic Illness Coach, and retired Family Medicine Physician, my goal is to be part of the solution to these and other health issues which can lead to worsening disease, emotional distress, and poor outcomes for individuals in all stages of live.

 

I'm passionate about working with clients who want to be as healthy as possible, lower their risk of worsening disease or injury, and improve their emotional well-being and quality of life.

 

My experience with chronic illness, combined with my medical training has led me to be especially dedicated to helping others with health challenges navigate life with their conditions.

I am a Professional Certified Health and Well-being Coach and a medically retired Family Medicine Physician. I knew at a young age that I would choose a profession that helped people live healthier lives. I received my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine and my Health & Well-being Coach certification from Wellcoaches® School of Coaching. 

As a mom with a history of being overweight and current diagnoses of Multiple Sclerosis, Osteoporosis, and Polymyalgia Rheumatica, I have had to make many lifestyle changes in my own life in order to live a healthier, happier, more fulfilling life. My own experiences with chronic health issues along with my skills and education make health and wellness coaching a natural extension of my career as a physician. 

In addition to being a physician and health coach, I am a wife and a mom to a teenage son and daughter. Travel with my family, reading, cooking, guided meditation, and walks with my pooch are some of my favorite activities.

Skillful coaching along with a high level of empathy and understanding allows me to guide clients to better health and well-being. My strength as a coach lies in my pragmatic approach which is balanced by empathy, respect, compassion, and a gracious spirit. Throughout my time as a coach, I have helped many clients improve their physical and emotional health and achieve a higher level of life satisfaction. I would love to help you too!

I offer several options for coaching, including a free trial session and affordable individual sessions or packages of sessions. I use a telehealth platform for video coaching calls. All coaching records are HIPPA compliant. Contact me to get started.
