Can you share a bit about your background? 

I've had the unique experience of living in 13 states and 2 foreign countries, which has given me a broad perspective on life and culture. Music is a significant part of my life; I enjoy playing the violin, mandolin, bass, piano, banjo, and guitar with my family. Professionally, I began as a speech-language pathologist, driven by a deep interest in human behavior and understanding why we do the things we do. I'm also a triathlete and a kidney transplant recipient, experiences that have profoundly shaped my approach to health and wellness.

What inspired you to become a life coach? 

In 2015, I was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune disorders and a rare genetic disease, leading to a challenging kidney transplant. These health battles, combined with the demands of moving frequently due to military commitments and homeschooling my four children during a pandemic, left me grappling with debilitating fatigue. Through these challenges, I discovered effective methods to create space, peace, and calm within my stressed body. This journey inspired me to guide other women facing similar struggles.

What activities bring you joy and help you stay energized? 

I find joy in outdoor activities like hiking, backpacking, paddleboarding, cycling, and snowboarding. Engaging in these pursuits not only keeps me physically active but also rejuvenates my spirit. 

What's your favorite thing about Dayton? 

Dayton feels like a big little city to me. I love how kind and compassionate the people are here; everyone is so friendly!
