ABOUT US

As an integrative health coach, I specialize in providing evidence-based support regarding nutrition and lifestyle management to improve health and wellbeing for my clients. Our Path to Wellness, LLC, provides resources and services to help improve longevity, health outcomes and wellbeing for people living with chronic health conditions. We value a holistic approach to health and wellness that incorporates scientific research, knowledge of integrative medicine, and empowerment of the individual to obtain optimal quality of life.

For the last 28 years I have enjoyed consulting with people from all walks of life to empower them to improve their lives, health and wellbeing, just as I have for myself and my family. Managing my own chronic, systemic genetic condition (mitochondrial myopathy), and advocating for myself and family members, has provided firsthand knowledge of the importance of balance and support to live well despite chronic illness. My approach to helping clients combines motivational interviewing, positive psychology and goal-oriented coaching with patient education and advocacy. My background in science is an asset for troubleshooting difficult medical symptoms and also provides a knowledge base that can be beneficial for clients coping with complex health concerns.

I am proud to be an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition with Ph.D.’s in Neuroscience and Psychology from Indiana University. I also have M.S. and B.S. degrees from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. In my free time I love gardening, hiking and outdoor activities, yoga, crafting and spending quality time with friends and family (including my two amazing black Labrador retrievers). I am excited to bring new options to you for living well despite chronic health conditions.
