Nestled into a cozy bit of valley in the Pacific Northwest, I happily reside with my partner Jobe and my two children. My life consists of many of the things you’d expect of a Health Coach and Yoga Practitioner. I love to cook nourishing, beautiful meals, preferably with the help of my little ones. I have had a daily yoga practice for nearly four years. My little family are my best friends and some of our favorite ways to spend our free time are hiking, biking, gardening, camping and exploring as much of Oregon’s rivers, mountains and forests as we can lay our hands on. Aside from these is my passion for music. My main instrument is my voice - I love to sing! But I also play the piano and flute. With Jobe and our band, we travel many of Oregon, Washington and Idaho’s wineries and breweries to share the music that we’ve made in these beautiful locations. I also love to learn and am almost always halfway through at least two books on any of the above mentioned topics.
To you this may sound picture perfect, but I haven’t always had the fortune of good health. I found wellness the hard way; through failure, being overweight, being on anti-depressants, through divorce, and a broken back. Through these experiences I hit rock bottom and finally with breaking my back, was given a wake up call. I was only 26 years old and I was exhausted, unhappy, sick, broken and I had lost myself. I chose to take back my power and change my life. Today I am off of anti-depressants, happy in my relationships, 100% pain free(thank you yoga), and happier than I’ve ever been with my weight/body image.
I always wanted to be healthy, but for a long time my mistake was in looking at health as the end goal. Now I know that health is a launch pad to help you reach your goals. Good health allows you the freedom to access your greatest creativity and your truest self. And good health gifts you the energy and clarity to know your passions and pursue your dreams - and share it with the world, making the world a better place!
Good health is the greatest wealth and now that I’ve experienced the polar opposites of sickness and health, I am determined to share with others the powerful tools that have helped me. Partner with me today to take back your power, too.
