I help you and your loved ones Bridge the Gap Between Knowing What to Do and Creating Lasting Change for whole-person health, healing and happiness.

Hi, I'm Mary, and I'm so glad you've found your way here!

I believe meaningful change is rooted in grace, lived experience, and a deeper connection to what gives our lives meaning and purpose. I also understand that knowing what we need to do to improve our health and actually making those changes are two very different things. Change isn’t black and white. Your journey of wellness is as unique as you are.

“Mary's work is life-changing.
It was the best gift to me and my family.”

“Before working with Mary, I was tired, depressed and uninspired in life. After Mary, my beliefs have changed. I enjoy life and am excited for each day.

I truly NEVER thought I would be writing this and not having a drink. Somehow, Mary creates a path for you without "clawing" your way through each day without a drink. ”- Ami Private Client

Sometimes, no matter how many appointments you attend, how many recommendations you receive, what apps you download, or how hard you try, you keep missing the mark…

You want to feel better. You want to take care of yourself. You want to have the energy, health, and capacity to show up for the people and things that matter most. You want to stop breaking your own heart.

But somewhere between knowing what needs to change and actually changing it, you get stuck.

  • Habits you keep promising yourself you'll change.

  • Health recommendations you understand but struggle to implement.

  • Chronic symptoms or health concerns that leave you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.

  • Exhaustion that doesn't seem to improve, even when you're trying to do all the right things.

  • Stress, emotional patterns, or unhealthy coping mechanisms that continue to interfere with your well-being.

  • The cycle of starting over, falling back into old patterns, and questioning why lasting change feels so difficult.

  • Feeling like you're managing your health rather than actually living well.

And sometimes, the hardest part is knowing what to do but feeling like you can't seem to make it stick.

I know this gap firsthand.

After 20 years of drinking, finding sobriety fundamentally changed my life. But recovery also taught me that removing a substance doesn't automatically give you the tools to build a healthy life. Even years into sobriety, I experienced the physical and emotional toll of supporting someone I love through addiction and recovery.

My own journey, along with years of working with private coaching clients, has shaped how I understand lasting change.

I've worked with people who had completed inpatient treatment, participated in counseling, received medical recommendations, and accessed numerous resources, yet still struggled to translate what they knew into how they lived. Often, meaningful progress began when they had individualized support to identify their barriers, reconnect with what mattered to them, and begin practicing new behaviors.

Because knowing what to do and learning how to live differently are not the same thing.

There is a significant gap in our healthcare system between providing information, treatment, and recommendations and helping people integrate those recommendations into everyday life.

Medical providers, counselors, and recovery professionals play essential roles, but they often have limited capacity for the ongoing, emotional and individualized behavior-change support that people really need.

This is where health and wellness coaching can make a difference.

Through individual coaching and wellness education, I help people:

  • Identify what is getting in the way of meaningful change.

  • Learn what’s important to YOU and why your story matters.

  • Connect their health goals to their personal values and priorities.

  • Build realistic, sustainable habits around nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management.

  • Develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges.

  • Strengthen confidence, self-awareness, and personal accountability.

  • Turn health recommendations and recovery goals into practical daily actions.

  • Create a lifestyle that supports long-term health, well-being, and purpose.

My approach is grounded in whole-person wellness. I recognize that physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, daily behaviors, and a sense of purpose are interconnected.

You're the expert in your own life; my role is to help you access the awareness, confidence, and resources to move forward.

Lasting change isn't about knowing more, trying harder, or following another set of rules. It's about having the support, tools, and confidence to put what you know into practice and create a life that reflects what matters most to you.
