About

I am a health and wellness coach, certified by the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).  iPEC is fully accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).  I am also certified by the ICF as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC). Before becoming a coach, I began my career as a certified personal trainer.  Competing in sports from a young age and continuing through college, exercise was always a big part of my life.  Wanting to learn as much as I could about exercise and the human body, I received a Masters Degree in Applied Exercise Physiology in 2005 from the University of Illinois-Chicago.  Over time, my passion for fitness grew to encompass nutrition.  Eventually, I came to the realization that optimal health included so much more.  Now, my focus is on wellness.  I wholeheartedly believe in a holistic approach to well-being and that people inherently know what is best for them.  Who could be more of an expert on your well-being than you?!  Through coaching, we access your inner expert to uncover your optimal wellness.
