Most people come to me because something in their life isn’t working as well as they’d like. Sometimes it’s stress. Sometimes it’s communication. Sometimes it’s a difficult relationship, a major life transition, a business challenge, a health concern, or a feeling that they’ve lost their footing and need a clearer path forward. What I’ve learned over the years is that these challenges are rarely isolated. Our physical health affects our emotions. Our relationships affect our stress levels. Our thoughts influence our decisions. Our decisions shape our lives. For this reason, I have never viewed wellness as simply nutrition, exercise, or stress reduction. To me, wellness is the whole package. It is how we think, communicate, relate, recover, grow, and show up in the world.
My work is centered on helping people become more effective in life.
As a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, instructor, speaker, and lifelong student of human behavior and personal growth, I help clients develop greater self-awareness, resilience, emotional balance, and clarity. Together we explore the patterns, beliefs, habits, and perspectives that may be holding them back and identify practical ways to move forward with greater confidence and intention. Over the years I have worked with business owners, professionals, veterans, parents, students, individuals navigating ADHD, people in recovery, those healing from trauma, and people seeking healthier relationships. While their circumstances may differ, the underlying work is often the same: learning to navigate life’s challenges with greater awareness, skill, and effectiveness.
My educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Developmental Psychology from Emory University, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. My professional training includes National Board Certification in Health & Wellness Coaching, extensive study of behavior change, mindfulness, Tai Chi, Qigong principles, somatic awareness, and integrative wellness approaches. In addition to one-on-one coaching, I co-founded SimplyAware Wellness & Training Center with my husband, Chris. Together we have spent decades helping people improve their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing through principle-based training, coaching, and personal development.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief:
You already possess far more wisdom, strength, and potential than you may realize.
My role is not to tell you how to live your life. My role is to help you listen more deeply, see more clearly, and develop the skills and perspective needed to create meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you’re navigating a personal challenge, seeking greater balance, improving relationships, strengthening leadership skills, or simply wanting to become the best version of yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
