Founder of Wellness Code Academy
I'm a small-town girl from the Midwest, the youngest of a large family, an empath, a tomboy, and an animal lover, especially dogs. I have a Jack Russel Terrier 🐾 named Tader, who has stolen my heart and is my sidekick.
Before my career in the online wellness space, I spent nearly two decades as a high school Spanish teacher, head girls' varsity coach, and at-risk counselor -- while also navigating horrendous chronic health issues.
I hold undergraduate degrees in International Business and Marketing, Secondary Education, Spanish Language and Literature, and a Master's of Science in Counseling and Psychology.
My passion for holistic healing, life optimization, and entrepreneurialism evolved from my long, hellish odyssey with invisible chronic illness (too many diagnoses to list), complex PTSD, and severe burnout syndrome.
All this led to a near-deadly breakdown that forced me out of my teaching career to save myself. This came after spending my entire career consulting with countless health professionals across all specialties and trying various approaches with little to no sustainable success.
Out of determination to heal, rebuild my life, and reinvent myself in an entrepreneurial career that enabled me to turn my pain into purpose and live life on my terms, I studied earned certifications in the principles of functional health and lifestyle medicine, mind-body modalities, trauma recovery, and transformational coaching.
I took ownership and applied all I learned to my own life.
I also immersed myself in learning the know-how and skills for online marketing and business-building -- and took consistent action to build my business.
The rest is history, and now, I am living the reality I set out to create years ago.
The work I do is three-fold:
✅ I work 1:1 with driven adult professionals who've been sidelined in their lives due to accumulated stress and trauma, chronic fatigue, digestive dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation. I help them go from chronically overwhelmed, exhausted, and in pain to vital, confident, and living on their terms by guiding them to become their best self-healers and optimize their lives.
✅ I offer trauma-informed, holistic business coaching to fellow wellness professionals overwhelmed with entrepreneurialism and seeking step-by-step mentorship to get out of their way and build a sustainable business.
✅ I'm the founder of Wellness Code Academy, where I get to continue with my passion and talent for creating curriculum and teaching, but on my terms versus a school district's.

Founder of The Organic Dietitian
I'm a simple girl from the Midwest, now a resident of Arizona, a chronic health challenges warrior, animal lover, and passionate about all things health and wellness.
I love the beach, exploring new places, and helping others find their healthy place!
I'm a Registered Dietitian, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and Certified Wellness Code Practitioner.
I work with frustrated and confused yet HIGHLY motivated women who are struggling with fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, and nervous system overwhelm.
I help them become their own best self-healers by investigating the root causes of their issues and using a multifaceted approach to healing that empowers them to discover their inner healer and take 100% responsibility for their health and life journey.
I'm all about a truly holistic, whole-person, whole-system approach. I'm not just about testing and recommending nutrition or supplement protocols (this is only part of what I do). Instead, I help my clients address the deeper-rooted causes to gain symptom freedom, including from metaphysical stressors.
I support, educate, guide, motivate, and provide strategies to build sustainable wellness from the inside out.
By assessing one's history and looking for past and current stressors, using targeted functional labs and energy testing to paint a bigger picture, and implementing various transformational coaching techniques, I help my clients create a step-by-step holistic healing, wellness, and life optimization plan.
I came to know Jen and her work through a training group we were both a part of, and I was always intrigued and impressed by the new things I learned from her insights.
I decided I needed to learn more from her.
I ultimately enrolled in and completed her 1-year Wellness Code Practitioner Certification Training Program.
It was personally and professionally transforming for me.
✅ I'm a more confident and versatile coach
✅ I lead clients to better outcomes
✅ I stand out in the industry
✅ I've significantly increased the value of my coaching services
✅ I attract a steady flow of clients ready and willing to invest in my services
✅ I'm experiencing more fulfillment and success in my coaching practice and overall business.
I've since joined forces with Jen in Wellness Code Academy, and together we're on a mission to be shapeshifters and share our Transformational Medicine model with the world.
