About Me

My Story

I am a public health leader focused on holistic, systems-based approaches to improving community wellness. Public health continues to be my greatest teacher, shaping my understanding of human behavior, resilience, and the ways we cope, adapt, and heal.

As I have navigated profound life transitions, including health challenges, burnout, divorce, and career uncertainty, what initially feels overwhelming gradually reveals itself as an invitation to transformation. Through mindfulness practices, I meet uncertainty with curiosity rather than fear. Yoga and breathwork are central healing modalities for me—offering both a somatic pathway for moving energy and a deeply supportive community. This ancient practice continues to anchor my work, connecting breath, body, and awareness in meaningful and restorative ways.

In 2025, I earned a coaching certificate through Interglow Coaching School and currently pursue my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential through the International Coaching Federation. I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training and trauma-sensitive yoga certification in 2024 and bring trauma-responsive principles into all of my offerings. In 2023, I also became a certified travel advisor through Fora Travel, and in 2026 I became a Breathe to Heal Facilitator. 

Outside of my professional work, I cherish my role as a mother, hiking mountain trails with my anxious cattle dog, sharing meals with loved ones, and tending to my bees—daily practices that ground me in presence, patience, and connection.
