I left my 30 yr career in nursing after getting totally frustrated and burned out with our broken healthcare system (perhaps more suitably named "sick care" system).  I truly wanted to make a difference in peoples' quality of life, particularly in their health and wellness, but didn't know how.  My search for answers led me to Functional Medicine and ultimately to the Functional Medicine Health Coaching Academy. Following graduation form FMCA in 2019, I followed my passion in Functional Medicine and pursued certification as an Integrative Health Practitioner to learn more about the science behind it.  I am excited about identifying and treating the root cause of symptoms of disease, versus "a pill for every ill". I still believe that prescription medication is sometimes necessary, but not without other interventions as well.My coaching specialty stems from my work and personal experience and knowledge in the field of aging. I hope to change the stereotyped image and beliefs held of aging; that it is a natural, continual decline in physical and mental decline starting in your 60s until death, because this is a falsehood. I am in my 60s and am actively taking charge of my own health and emotional wellbeing, and help others do the same.
