HEALTH COACH, INSTITUTE FOR INTEGRATIVE NUTRITION,

Wellness, personal growth, and the outdoors have long been important to me. My husband and I are long-time owners of an outdoor store in Ventura, California where authenticity, resourcefulness, community, integrity, environmentalism and spending time in nature are strong values. Alongside outdoor education and customer service, I have pursued a deeper understanding of optimal health, most recently in Integrative Nutrition Health Coach training.

I deeply believe that every person has the capacity to change and to grow once they understand and can navigate the landscape within them. I love bringing clarity to complex information and helping others uncover what’s possible for them through reflection and forward vision. I believe measurable progress is possible when insight is gained and support is in place.

In addition to a traditional sit-down health coach meeting, I offer Health Coach hikes— integrating nature and structured coaching sessions on neighborhood walks, or local hiking trails in Ventura, Calfornia.
