Longtime educator helping adolescents and their families find success by supporting the way they feel as much as I support the way they learn.
About you
Let's go from lost or overwhelmed to living your life on purpose...
Do you have symptoms such as...
Distraction
Anxiety
Depression
Chronic stress
Are you struggling with...
Time management
Organization
Goal setting
Task initiation
Whether it pertains to school, work, or your day-to-day, your symptoms and struggles are messages from your body. The problem is, you are rarely taught to listen.Medication can be life changing for many. It can change how you feel about your situation (less anxious, less depressed, etc.) but medication alone doesn't often change the truth of what it is, at times, only leading to a temporary fix.It often doesn't get to the root.After over 15 years of working with adolescents and their families, I've honed my skillset in helping to address this problem.Whether it's:
Correcting bad habits of executive functioning
Discussing your inability to stay focused or sleep well
Figuring out your plan for what's next in life
Looking at your food choices and understanding their ripple effect
Simply put, I teach these skills through a framework of "Know thyself."Self-awareness, self-development, self-mastery and self-love, in my opinion, are the most underutilized solutions that exist. Knowing oneself is essential and the foundation to everything else.
About me
I consider myself to be a lifelong learner where I love to merge my passion for education with my passion for whole-person health and wellness. I'm a proud educator with a Bachelor's and Dual Master's Degree in Education. Throughout this time, I've also earned many certifications along the way, all with the intention of helping people feel better and live a healthy and extremely fulfilled life.
WHAT I DO
I serve my community in the following ways:I am a Certified Educator with an extensive background in the classroom, where I've taught a number of content areas ranging from Psychology, Special Education, Health, Nutrition, and Teacher Education.Additionally, some of my proudest accomplishments occurred outside of my own classroom. To highlight a few - I've served as an advocate and expert witness in court, advocating for the best educational placement for students. I spent a decade writing curriculum for some of the top public schools and higher education institutions at the county, state, and national level. Lastly, I was a founder and long term member of my School Resource Team where I worked to identify students at-risk academically, socially, and emotionally, and held weekly crisis prevention groups in school.I am an ADHD Coach where I work to support students who struggle with executive functioning skills and help them implement new strategies to improve their challenges and achieve their goals.I am a Certified Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher where I teach the immense value of stillness and connection to oneself and their community.I am a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner where I help others understand their innate body/mind constitution and the imbalances that can show up as symptoms. I teach them how these symptoms are messages from the body so that they can be corrected and not ignored, potentially showing up as bigger issues down the road. Ayurvedic Medicine is one of the world's oldest systems of true healthcare.I am a Certified Herbalist, where I teach how herbal medicine exists in nature for us and the trick for being able to identify good herbs for a person's individual constitution. I love to highlight how herbs are beneficial for physical healing and emotional rejuvenation, and so much more. I especially love creating herbal remedies in my kitchen and teaching others how to do the same.I am a Mental Health Advocate and Outreach Director, where I serve as a bridge between those struggling and the resources needed to help adolescents and families. For over a decade, I've worked closely with the most incredible schools, psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists nationwide who come together to collaborate and support one another.In 2023, I completed an incredible certification as a Life Purpose Facilitator. Here I was trained by award winning, global leaders in the coaching industry, to guide others towards discovering and aligning with their true calling.What I learned in my journey so far is that you cannot have true health without feeling good and knowing what is best for you. I have made it my mission to intentionally create a toolbox where I can help create health in all of the areas that matter most, leading to long term success. If you are truly ready to uncover the feeling of living your life on purpose, let's work together and build a life that far exceeds what currently feels possible.
