As your coach, I support you in setting, achieving and maintaining your life, health and wellness goals in ways that are tailored to you. I specialize in stress management, brain health, menopause and caregiver coaching.Stress & Work-Life BalanceComing from a 25 year career in the high-tech business world, I enjoy helping people in all walks of life build their resilience and develop strategies to manage home and workplace stress. I’m a HeartMathCertifiedPractitioner and help clients engage in a range of mindfulness, meditation and stress transformation practices.Women’s Health, Peri-menopause & MenopauseI work with women in their mid-30s and older helping them cope and thrive as they experience the mind and body changes of peri-menopause and menopause. Navigating through the hormones, emotions, social stigma and weirdness of midlife is not an easy trek. I serve as your guide, listening to you and helping you find the tools, techniques and lifestyle changes that work best for you.Optimizing Brain HealthI completed the Reversing Cognitive Decline (ReCODE) coaching program based on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Dale Bredesen, author ofThe End of Alzheimer’s. I work independently with people who are interested in optimizing their brain health, and I also coach clients who are enrolled in the Apollo Health PreCODE and ReCODE programs.Coaching for Care Partners of People with MCD, Alzheimer’s & DementiaHaving cared for a parent with Alzheimer’s in my home for five years while working full time, I understand the tremendous stress you can experience as a care partner for someone who has progressive memory issues. Taking care of yourself is often the last thing on your mind, but it is absolutely essential so that you can be there for the person you love. As a care partner coach, I work with you to help you deal with stress, build your resilience and maintain your mind-body health while serving as a partner and caregiver for others.My journey with functional medicinebegan over a dozen years ago on a business trip when I met the President of the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) on an airplane. That wonderful, serendipitous conversation led to some work with IFM and a number of profound health and healing experiences for myself and my family as patients of functional medicine doctors.In 2008 I was invited to join the IFM Board of Directors, on which I served for 8.5 years. After my tenure there, I served on the Board of Advisors for the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy for 4 years.I live on a small farm outside of Portland, Oregon with my husband/business partner, a sweet rescue dog, three chickens, three Shetland sheep and a lot of deer wandering through the yard. In my spare time, I enjoy writing, cooking, making music, traveling, photography and tending our organic garden and orchard.
