My Background
As an accomplished former corporate executive, I understand the challenges of creating a balanced, healthy lifestyle. In fact, I was once so out of balance in my own life, that I sacrificed my health and wellness in the name of building my career. Until I hit my early thirties and realized what was happening to my health. On the surface, I had it all – and you’d never have known that underneath the healthy-looking outer image, I had completely lost my connection to mind, body and sprit. My life was overscheduled, overworked -- and I suffered in silence with addiction. I saw my happiness and vitality depleting – so I started taking action to recover.
In my journey to radiant health, I created a whole health system of eating, exercise, renewal and recharging -- a roadmap toward health & vitality. Understanding the importance of honoring the body and calming the mind, I empower clients to create their own whole health systems, in their own unique ways. I have seen amazing results in working with my clients!
I have created the life of my dreams with a few simple techniques -- and inspire my clients to do the same! I split my time between the White Mountains of New Hampshire (USA) and Saba, Dutch Caribbean. I offer several retreats in the Caribbean on recovery from addiction, stress-related health issues and The Body Ecology Diet. I spend my free time hiking, walking, scuba diving, meditating, doing yoga and reading. My work is influenced by the teachings of Eckhart Tolle (Power of Now & A New Earth), Donna Gates (The Body Ecology Diet), and Louise Hay (You Can Heal Your Life).
I have my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Vermont, where I learned to work less and play more through speed studying skills.
I later earned a Master’s Degree in Corporate Instructional Design & Human Performance Consulting from The Pennsylvania State University, where I learned to create fast, effective human performance systems.
I received my professional coach certification from the International Coach Academy, where I learned to walk my talk in creating the life of my dreams.
I received my Certified Body Ecologist training from Donna Gates, radiant health visionary & author of The Body Ecology Diet. Here I learned how to repair the body from addiction, digestive disorders, autism, cancer, chronic fatigue, MS and other immune-related disorders.
I received my Ashtanga Yoga Teacher training from David Swenson, where I learned the power of quieting the mind, focusing on breath and accepting where you are.
