I have the heart of a researcher and the gift of practical, no-nonsense communication.
I’m a teacher, writer, cat-mom, women’s alcohol educator, Energy Medicine Yoga master teacher, ladyboss, plant-based lifestyle expert, sister, habit-change whiz, activist, runner, triathlete, world traveler and lover of all self-transformation for women over 50.
I’ve spent 30 years studying nutrition and human performance, 20 years studying the mind and 10 years studying energy.
And I’m here for a reason:
I create things that change women.
My transformation journey started when I was 12 years old. As a pre-teen in a meat-centric Oklahoma. I summoned the courage to share with my family that I would no longer eat meat, fish or poultry. “Anything that had a mother,” was the best way I could describe it to my parents, who had never heard of anything like this before.
AS SCARY AS IT WAS AT THE TIME, I LEARNED HOW EMPOWERED I FELT WHEN I DECIDED TO VALUE MY OWN INTUITION ABOUT MYSELF AS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DID – OR WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF ME.
Over the next several years, I also discovered the joy of moving my body, playing sports, and diving into fitness and nutrition, becoming a certified aerobics instructor at age 18 and teaching popular fitness classes to students and teachers at the University of Oklahoma.
I started my college career as a pre-med student and worked in hospitals, health care centers and Big 4 consulting firms as a health care specialist while simultaneously pursuing my passions by teaching fitness classes, personal training, coaching people to run marathons, earning a certificate in plant-based nutrition, and competing in 35+ marathons and dozens of triathlons, including 4 Ironman races.
During those 25 years, I ALSO suffered anxiety, over-disciplined myself into constant fatigue, had a mean voice in my head that was, at times, debilitating, and drank too much alcohol.
In 2017, after years of soul-searching, finding sobriety and the ultimate life-changer, meditation, I left the corporate life and opened a yoga studio. It was time for my own personal transformation!
Today, I create courses, coach, and empower women over 50 on habit change, alcohol-education, plant-based living and bringing energy medicine into their lives to achieve greater health and vitality.
I’ve taught hundreds of courses and thousands of women who, in reality, have taught me too. I’ve developed content and teaching methods that are informed by my experience teaching women and validated by the women whose lives are changed.
My biggest passion is helping women 50+ find a supportive community to learn, grow and find lifelong friendship!
I use time-tested tools and techniques (both ancient wisdom and new science) to teach women to use the fuel they put in their body and their own energy for health, joy and vitality. As a result, each woman becomes her brightest self and achieves her highest potential.
