Often when making lasting lifestyle changes “will power” alone can produce momentary changes, but can eventually leave you feeling defeated and frustrated when the changes are not sustainable over time.

The result: deeper connection to unhealthy lifestyle habits.

My style is intuitive and down to earth with a sense of humor. Emphasis is placed on self acceptance, loving kindness, creativity, and relationship with your inner knowing – essentials that can support you in making sustainable lifestyle changes.

This service is conducted using a coaching format that emphasizes action steps.

“The way we eat represents our most profound engagement with the world. Daily our eating turns nature into culture, transforming the world into our bodies and minds.”

-Michael Pollan, The Omnivore’s Dilemma
