By recommitting to her physical, mental, and spiritual health, she reconnected to her purpose and found joy in service and generosity again. Now, she helps other purpose-driven women find harmony between their desire to make a difference in the world and the need to nourish their own body, mind, and spirit without guilt so they can thrive now and for decades to come. She has a health coach certification from Duke Integrative Health, National Board Certification for Health & Well-being Coaches, and a master’s degree in Integrative Health.
