My Story...
Once upon a time, I was a Nurse Practitioner with a specialty in – you guessed it – brain health and neurology.
When my own physical and brain health symptoms started to happen in my early fifties, I got shuffled from physician to physician.
I was prescribed pills to treat my symptoms and more pills to treat the side effects of the pills that didn’t really help me. I was beginning to feel like a zombie!
I felt that the western model of medicine had failed me. I was eventually told I probably could not keep working and to start using a wheelchair! What!!!!!!!!! NO way!!!! I knew I needed to become my own advocate and there had to be a solution to my problems!
My journey led me to start studying Functional Medicine, which looks at the root causes of health issues. I learned how healthy living, which includes diet, exercise, stress management, etc, impacts symptoms and illness. I started using these strategies and was thrilled when I saw improvements in my health.
As part of this journey, I also began learning about Eastern Medicine and Complementary Alternative Medicine, this includes such things as acupuncture, reiki, meditation, etc. I found this very fascinating! I had to try these treatments. To my delight, these treatments helped immensely.
Today, I have conquered some of my most pressing health concerns. With renewed vigor, energy and vitality, I am continuing my journey to reclaim my health. And…. I never had to use a wheelchair or quit my job!
I want to share my extensive knowledge and experience with you so you don’t have to waste years of trial and error patching together solutions!
My Calling To Serve & Help Others…
I grew up as the oldest of 6, and have always loved helping others. I was destined to be either a teacher or a nurse. So, right after high school I went to nursing school and became a Registered Nurse.
After 20+ years as a Registered Nurse, I followed my dream to become a Nurse Practitioner. While working full time, I went to graduate school when my daughter was in college and my son was in high school. That was certainly an interesting time! Imagine juggling all those responsibilities.
Talk about stress when we were all having exams at the same time! Despite challenges, I fulfilled that dream by becoming a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner.
For the last 18 + years, I’ve worked as a Nurse Practitioner in the hospital setting and specialized in brain health – Neurology. To assure I was the expert that I wanted to be and that my patients deserved, I became certified in Neuroscience nursing and Stroke care.
My Journey Into Coaching…
In 2020, as we all know, Covid hit and healthcare changed.
Amidst the chaotic and ever-changing rules and guidelines on caring for patients, emergency and urgent calls, and endless paperwork… the things I loved most about helping my patients were not able to be as high on my priority list as I wanted, and that my patients needed.
I yearned for the moments of genuine connection with patients, the conversations that provided comfort, reassurance, hope and education. I missed the chance to witness their triumphs and celebrate their recoveries.
I was burned out and the emotional toll of these changes caught up to me. I knew there had to be a different way to keep alive my passion of helping others live their healthiest, most vibrant life.
I started looking at other options where I could use my expertise and superpowers and knew coaching was the perfect fit. Coaching allowed me to work directly with my clients to improve their health & wellness.
I obtained my health coaching education through the National Society of Health Coaches and then obtained Virtual Coach certification.
That’s when I made it official and changed my career path from the hospital to becoming a Brain Health Coach (my true passion!)
