I have spent my adult life pondering one fundamental question: “What helps us care for ourselves so we feel good?”

I’ve funneled this obsession into my career as a nurse, health coach and certified functional medicine practitioner and helped over 1000 clients feel better over the last decade. I’m also a scientist: (Bachelors in Biology, Purdue University Masters in Science, Indiana University) and trained in public policy: (Masters in Public Administration, Indiana University).

I’ve lived my whole adult life in Kalamazoo, Michigan with my nerdy librarian husband who rides his bike everywhere. I love spending time in Kleinstuck Preserve, and have been active with the Stewards of Kleinstuck since its inception 15 years ago.

I have three cats and I hate to brag, but I’m really good at playing with them.
