Hello!As a retired marathon runner, current endurance cyclist, yogi and health coach, my approach to optimal performance over the last 2+ decades, has evolved from “food as fuel” to “food as medicine.” Brought up under the heavy veil of “low fat – hi carb” diet for most of my early adult life, it was quite a shock to learn that I was gluten sensitive. What would life and my performance have been like had I known that in my 20s?!The next decade began a casual journey into functional nutrition, elimination diets and detoxes. It wasn’t until I crossed over into my 40s and into perimenopause that I realized I couldn’t do it gracefully without a health coach. Everything needed to shift: my workouts, more dietary tweaks with supplements, and a more mindful approach to the activities in my daily life. Thanks to her and our success together, I was inspired to become one myself.My approach with my clients:•    I’ll meet you where you’re at•    Let’s focus on your strengths•    All experience is informationA few of my guiding principles:•    You’re the Boss: you know yourself best and where you want to go so you drive and I’ll be shotgun•    One Size Does Not Fit All: everyone's biology, genetics, lifestyle and experiences are different so we'll collaborate on plan just for YOU•    Small Steps are Giant Steps: forward movement is the objective, not the size of your stride•    Creativity, community, connection and fun are just as important as food and movement for radiant health and happinessA few areas and audiences that I’m passionate about are:•    Gut health, elimination diets, detoxes•   Relaxation and sleep hygiene•    Cold therapy•    Breathwork, energy healing (with a focus on Reiki) and meditationI’d love to be your “guide by the side” and help you achieve the life you want. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to working with you!
