Mind and Body Wellness
Becoming Best in Self is a process.
I'm a mind and body wellness coach, educator and life-long learner.
I evolved a longstanding interest in well-being into a career to encourage others to grant themselves permission to actively create a happier and healthier life. Key to creating a Best in Self life is a willingness to face and embrace imperfections — through self-awareness, self-acceptance, and a whole lot of self-kindness.
The good news?
Becoming Best in Self can happen no matter how busy you are; and you don’t have to do it alone. I bring mindful listening, compassion and a non-judgmental space to cultivating trust and your best self. As your wellness coach, I am here to guide, support and encourage you, step by step, on a journey of self-discovery and self-fulfillment.
Wellness coaching is a great avenue to pursue for the person or group who is focused on what is happening in the present moment in order to create positive changes for the future. Together, we will create a step-by-step action plan for the desired goal, and learn strategies for self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-kindness.
Does this sound familiar?
Feel overwhelmed, with too much to do and too little time?
Stressed when it comes to making dinner plans?
Assume other people find it easier to “do it all”?
Wonder what your “why” — your purpose — is?
Frustrated with yourself for not doing enough?
Looking to feel good (and not guilty) about your own self-care?
I will meet you where you are
Together, we will create a vision of YOU as your best self — at this moment, and into the future. We will shed light on your passions and strengths, identify your values, and focus on cultivating the constructive habits and skills you’ll need to make lasting lifestyle changes. We will take a holistic approach, incorporating many areas of wellness - nutrition, exercise, work, relationships, mindset, creativity, fun, and spirituality. Successes and self-efficacy gained in the process will build your confidence and motivation to sustain this new healthy lifestyle. I will be your support and accountability partner along the way.
