Originally from South Carolina, I lived in Boulder, Colorado for 30 years. In July of 2023, my husband, David, and I relocated to Raleigh, NC to be closer to family and take a break from the Colorado winters! After a degree in public relations, I turned my attention to health and wellness and have never looked back. I am a highly trained and diverse practitioner and have certifications from:

• The Swedish Institute of Massage in NYC: Body Therapies
• The Kushi Institute in Boston: Holistic Nutrition and Macrobiotics
• Nova Healing Arts in Colorado: Natural Medicine and Nutrition
• The Institute for Integrated Nutrition in NYC: Health and Nutrition Coaching
• The Institute for the Psychology of Eating in Colorado: Eating Psychology Counselor

I taught for many years at The Culinary School of the Rockies in Boulder which included a vast array of classes focusing on the joy of cooking. I have over 35 years experience working with clients on health, nutrition and vital living choices.

In 2009, I attended The Institute for the Psychology of Eating in Boulder, CO and studied with its founder, Marc David. After 25 years of study, the pieces came together with this training by understanding the complex combination of 'what we eat' and 'who we are as eaters.’ I came to see that true, lasting changes come when many pieces of the pie come together including our food choices, self-care, relationship to food and how we operate.

I take great pleasure in serving others with my knowledge and inspired approach to health and dynamic living. Above all, I am a student of life and greatly passionate about teaching the art of self-care. It is never too late to heal!
