My own story of health and wellness began after my mother was diagnosed with cancer and died at age 53. I became very conscious of my family's diet, shopping for healthier foods and beverages, and cooking differently. I began exercising, educating myself more about health and the prevention of disease and illness. I became interested in the exercise field and took a personal training certification course.

As my life continued to unfold, I encountered some personal challenges, which led me to the healing work of massage therapy. This has been a most wonderful and extremely rewarding career.  As my focus to pursue supporting others in health and wellness grew, I became certified as a Circle of Life Health and Wellness Coach so that I could assist people to be the best they can be in body, mind and spirit.

I continue to take classes and workshops, as this is my vocational journey towards the greater good of peace, happiness, and healing of individuals, families and community.
