About Me
Born and raised in Central Illinois, recently moving to Northern Minnesota, better known as, I am a wife of 28 years, mother, grandmother, Northern Minnesota Resort owner, RN of 18 years, and Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Just like you, I have experienced many obstacles in life. It is my goal in life to meet people where they are in their health journey and to help guide them on their desired path to total wellness.
Having a passion for people to find genuine inner peace and happiness, along with a fascination of the body’s unique functionality, nearly 2 decades ago I became a Registered Nurse. With a pull to do more for the world, and recognizing the numerous available holistic treatment modalities, I was not stopping until I found my place to help. Educated in several holistic approaches including vitamin & herb supplementation, Essential Oils, Reflexology, Meditation, Gratitude, & Mindfulness, coupled with a strong science background, I am well rounded in caring for the body as a holistic system. Currently, the RN Care Manager at a Minneapolis VA Clinic, I educate patients on the prevention and management of Chronic Disease. I have implemented the clinics first MOVE program which is based on improving wellness through life-style behavioral changes and weight management. Still wanting to do more, I sought out IIN. At IIN a “ripple effect,” in helping the world through utilizing Health Coaches is the sought-after goal. I felt an overwhelming sense of peace at IIN, in that I had finally found the “do more” I was looking for.
I am qualified, competent, and confident to take on supportive care with you. I will work with you and/or your healthcare team, not over-stepping my scope of practice, but instead to be the glue that holds the team together. I strive to maintain a constant line of open communication amongst the team, providing the best plan of care for you.
To choose me as your Health Coach is to choose your most nourished self.
