Taking a holistic/integrative approach to lifestyle has been one of my core values for many years. My path to training to become a wellness coach has not been linear. There are many points, shifts and turns. For several years, I worked as a doula which allowed me to support mothers during birth. I’m trained in Reiki, which has allowed my spirituality to expand. I enjoy making and creating products such as soap, salve, lotion, herbal tinctures, herbal teas, and fermenting kombucha, yogurt and kraut. Professionally, I’ve worked as a quality and manufacturing scientist for approaching 20 years. I wanted to understand more about properties behind the herbal therapeutics which led me to receiving a Master in Science Herbal Product Design from Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH). Currently, I’m in the beginning stage of launching my coaching program for new and busy moms!
