About

With over 20 years of nursing experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping others heal in many ways—but  my own journey has taught me the most. After my vertical sleeve gastrectomy in 2014, I faced years of slow progress, weight regain, depression, and a complicated relationship with food and body image. Realizing I needed guidance from someone who truly understood my pain, I turned to life coaching and deepened my connection with my Higher Power.

Those experiences transformed my life, but I was missing something, my connection to my bariatric lifestyle. That inspired me to help others in the bariatric community, do the same. Today, as a Certified Health and Life Coach and Board-Certified Bariatric Counselor, I combine my nursing background, personal experience, and passion for healing to guide others on their journey toward self-discovery, confidence, and lasting transformation. I remind myself often—I may not be where I want to be, but I’m definitely better than where I was.
