Health Coaching and Nutrition:
I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2017. This education equipped me with extensive, cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition and health coaching. I learned how to help my clients make lasting habit changes in the areas of food and lifestyle, that create improvements in energy, balance, health, and happiness.
Advanced Certifications:
In 2019, I trained with Dr. Joe Tatta, DPT, CNS, and author of the book, Heal Your Pain Now. I completed his 12-week program and became certified in "Functional Nutrition for Chronic Pain".
Also in 2019, I attended the annual Wahls conference, taught by Terry Wahls, MD. Her recovery from Multiple Sclerosis is profound and she has been sharing her story and healing protocol since 2011. The Wahls protocol is a radical way to treat autoimmune conditions and Dr. Wahls is conducting ongoing research to support this. After attending her conference, I completed additional coursework and passed an exam to become a certified Wahls Practitioner.
In 2023, I became a Certified Emotion Code™ Practitioner through Discover Healing. Emotion Code™ is an amazing tool for releasing emotional baggage, aka "trapped emotions". Emotion Code™ can quickly and easily identify and release trapped emotions. Releasing trapped emotions can provide relief from emotional pain as well as physical symptoms.
Then, in early 2024, I became a Certified Body Code™ Practitioner. Emotion Code and Body Code have rapidly become favorite tools amongst my clients, bringing them relief from acute pain, chronic pain, addictive patterns, anxiety, depression, grief, feelings of "heaviness", resistant weight loss, stress triggers, sleep difficulties, nightmares and more.
I have a deep passion and wide range of "tools" to help you recover from pain, autoimmune symptoms, anxiety and more.

Physical Therapy Background:
Prior to becoming a health coach, I had a 15-year career as a Physical Therapist. My healthcare career started in 2002 after I graduated from Ithaca College with a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy. Over the years, I enhanced my skills with hundreds of hours of continuing education related to physical therapy, health and wellness.
During that chapter of my life, I enjoyed helping my patients resolve their pain and movement limitations. It was extremely rewarding. However, I did witness a growing epidemic of chronic pain and chronic health conditions and the traditional western medicine approach was failing these individuals. I felt called to help but I didn't yet have a clear path.
It was my personal "health crash" in 2014 and my subsequent recovery that opened the door to the world of nutrition and holistic healing. I am grateful to be able to bring my education, my career experiences, and my personal experience with me as I provide personalized care to help my clients thrive. I am able to deeply relate to my clients and guide them to make significant and lasting breakthroughs in their health and happiness.
