About Me - I have a helping heart.

Professionally

At my core is passion to help people live their healthiest, happiest, best life. I have always been called to jobs helping people “hook into” something better. I am a Health and Wellness Coach, mental health professional, employee assistance consultant, corporate trainer, speaker and volunteer in the Georgetown community.

Personally

I have been married over 40 years. We have two daughters and sons-in-law. I enjoy working in my yard, hunting for "treasures" at local resale shops, pickleball, camping, hiking, traveling, volunteering, walking our dogs, and babysitting our grand-dogs.
