Family, Relationship & Wellness Coach,
Motivational Speaker, Blogger
I know that it is a mouthful but as a holistic person with many passions I just cannot help myself. It is my honor to work with, and learn from, amazing people such as Mark Hyman, M.D and Dr. John Gray and with great companies such as Vida Health and KCNH. I love to help people break through obstacles in health, in love and in happiness. A current passion project is working to unite all parents so as to provide support and information to the parenting community.[/icon_timeline_item][icon_timeline_item time_title=”2016″ title_font_size=”desktop:35px;” title_line_height=”desktop:36px;”]
Doctor of Naturopathic Psychology
My love of learning is still prevalent all of these years so I kept studying while also building a private practice. I think it is really important to stay up on the latest information but perhaps I will allow my kids to take over the legacy of collecting degrees.[/icon_timeline_item][icon_timeline_item time_title=”2014″ title_font_size=”desktop:35px;” title_line_height=”desktop:37px;”]
Ph.D. Natural Medicine
I love to help people to heal their physical and emotional issues naturally. I am not against allopathic medicine but instead feel that a partnership between the two will most benefit people. This is the heart of Functional Medicine.[/icon_timeline_item][icon_timeline_item time_title=”2011″ title_font_size=”desktop:35px;” title_line_height=”desktop:37px;”]
Wellness Certifications
Prior to this time I had suffered through many health issues. I knew that had to change so with the help of some great people, and hitting the books, I went about changing that.

Licensed Child Care Provider
My love of working with families continued as my hubby and I got married, moved from New York to California and began to create our family.

At the Research Institute on Addictions, I worked on a multi-year research project studying the effects of alcohol use and/or abuse on the family unit.
