Meet Your Coach

My Story

I have been a leader in public health for nearly two decades, developing interventions to support behavior change. I began my second career with a master’s degree in Community Health after reading Paul Farmer's "Mountains Beyond Mountains " in Bolivia, and my work has focused on creating holistic approaches to improve community wellness.  Outside of my professional life, I cherish my role as a mother to my sons, hiking the mountain trails with my anxious cattle dog, teaching yoga, and sharing delicious meals.

​

Over the past four years, I have gone through numerous life transitions. Health transitions, burnout, a divorce, and career unfulfillment. During these times, I found myself feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled, and disconnected from my sense of purpose. Through some deep reflective work, I changed my mindset to see these transitions as times of transformation. I stepped into the opportunity to redefine, realign, and reconnect with my purpose and passions. These transitions were the catalyst for starting Journey Coaching to build a life that honors the season of life I am in and connects to my purpose. 

In 2025, I received a coaching certificate through the Interglow Coaching School, and I am currently pursuing my Associate Certified Coach Credential through the International Coaching Federation. I have also obtained a 200-hour yoga and breathwork certification, as well as a trauma-sensitive yoga certification, and bring experience working in trauma-responsive care and applying behavior change theory.
