I know what it feels like when your body starts sending signals you can no longer ignore.
I was in my mid-thirties, sitting in a crowded corporate training room, when my heart started racing and I couldn’t catch my breath. I didn’t know it then, but that panic attack was the first of many signals my body would send me over the next several years — signals I kept pushing through instead of listening to.
The acid reflux. The migraines. The chronic fatigue. The back pain so severe I had to get on my knees just to pick up my toddler son.
I kept going. Because that’s what you do, right?
Then came the phone call that changed everything.
I was in the car on the way to the Mayo Clinic — my young son was facing his own serious health battle — when my chiropractor called with my X-ray results. Degenerative discs in my lower spine, worn down to the equivalent of someone twice my age. And something else. A mass. They weren’t sure what it was yet.
I hung up the phone and sat with that fear for a long moment.
That was my turning point. Not because of what the doctors found — but because of the choice it forced me to make. I could keep going the way I was going. Or I could choose differently.
I chose life.
What I learned changed everything — including what I believe about you.
As I began navigating my own path back to health, I hired a health coach who did something no doctor had ever done for me. She cut through the noise and confusion. She helped me past my mental blocks. She made the process feel possible — even enjoyable. For the first time I wasn’t figuring it out alone.
And that’s when I understood something I now believe with my whole heart:
Our bodies were designed to heal. They just need the right conditions to do so.
Your diagnosis is not your destiny. It’s not a life sentence. It’s a signal — your body asking for something different. And the path forward doesn’t have to feel like punishment, deprivation, or white-knuckling your way through another program that wasn’t built for you.
It can feel like small, deliberate steps. Curiosity instead of fear. Hope that builds into trust. Trust that builds into confidence. And somewhere along the way — maybe sooner than you’d expect — you start to feel like yourself again. A newer, stronger version of yourself.
I’ve lived this. I know it’s possible. And I know you don’t have to do it alone.
From personal journey to professional calling.
What began as my own health transformation eventually became something much larger. While working as a Senior Manager at Best Buy, I quietly started a grassroots employee wellness group with two members. By the time I resigned in 2021, that group had grown to over 1,000 people — united not by job title, but by a shared desire to feel better and support each other in doing so.
That experience crystallized everything. I left corporate life to do this full time — because I knew that what those employees needed, so many others needed too. Someone who understood the real life pressure, the confusion, the frustration of not getting real answers. Someone who had been there herself.
Today I hold my National Board Certification in Health and Wellness Coaching (NBC-HWC) and am a certified Worksite Wellness Specialist. But more than any credential — I bring lived experience, genuine care, and a deep belief that your best health is not behind you.
A note from me to you.
I know you’re here looking for answers — and for some hope that this can turn around for you.
I want to tell you that it can.
No matter how far down the path you feel you’ve gone, you can change your outcome.
It’s not too late.
Your body hasn’t given up on you — and neither have I.
It’s time to rediscover this new version of you.
I would be honored to be by your side as you do.
