MY STORY!

My coaching journey started when I was a kid. I had energy that was open and trusting. People would just trust me and opened up, even when I was a kid. However, I didn't really experience coaching until I became a massage therapist.

I would coach people about how to reduce their pain in between sessions. I would find that stress was the biggest contributor to overall pain dysfunctions. I thought "how could I coach someone to manage their stress?". This led me to study Reiki and breath work to reduce stress. I soon would find out you can’t get rid of stress, but you can manage it. 

Being on this coaching journey inspired me to go back to school once my mom passed away two years ago and to become a health and wellness coach. Then the pandemic hit and my career as a fitness and massage therapist was at a standstill. I got a job at a pain management clinic and was reminded of my passion to help people live better lives. Then my mom passed away from Diabetes, and I knew I had to become a health and wellness coach. 

I pursued a career coaching program through UC Davis and then received my International Coaching Federation (ICF) certification followed by a Health Coaching certification with MindBodyGreen. 

At the time, I didn't know what a life coach was. I pictured what “G” did for a living from that 'Holy Man' movie - a guru in the movie as well as a salesman for the “G” spot show. The quotes that really resonated of what caching is, “You have 75 years if your lucky, don’t waste them. When you look at it like that its not a lot of time, Don’t waste it and get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that reoccupy your existence. Get back to what’s important to you now at this very second. I’m not saying drop everything and forget about the world around you. Become a seeker and more loving. Get in touch with the part of you that lives instead of fears.”

This is the power behind what behavior change can do for you. Ask yourself this question, “How can I live the life I want?’ You can become the seeker and get in touch with the part of lives through coaching.

I offer a holistic approach to health coaching through active listening, setting realistic goals, being motivated and empowered, and recognizing your values and strengths. 

You can't heal yourself until you really speak your body's language, understand it, and communicate back to it - I am here to support you through that. Come on a mental, wellness, and life changing journey with me.

Love and Light!
