If your life isn't an endless to-do list...
Always anticipating what's next, what is it?
Could it be something you actually just enjoy?
For many women, wellness can become another thing to manage.
Eat well. Exercise. Work on yourself. Stay productive. Try the next routine that promises to make you feel better.
And yes, our behaviors matter. But I’ve learned that feeling great is about more than checking all the right boxes.
I know this because I've lived it.
After I stopped drinking, I thought I had finally figured it out. I was going to the gym, eating whole foods, walking every day, going to church, building my business, and raising my son.
But somewhere along the way, I realized I had replaced relief with achievement.
I was no longer drinking, but I was still chasing another goal, another diet, another way to optimize myself.
It was an idea of what I thought health should look like, rather than what I actually needed or wanted.
What I wanted wasn't another thing to accomplish.
I wanted to enjoy my life. Have some fun already!
Looking back, I can see that some of those rigid rules were really an attempt to control what felt out of control during an unusually hard season of my life.
So I started caring a little less about the dishes and a lot more about adventure. I made prayer a priority. I said yes to dancing, DJing, coffee walks with friends, and the things that brought me genuine joy.
Life became less about fixing myself and more about enjoying the fruit of this gift.
My faith became central to that shift. I began to see caring for my body, my relationships, my work, and my life as an act of devotion to God—not another form of self-improvement.
A client recently shared a huge breakthrough with me.
She realized that if the cup is going to stay half full, you have to intentionally add in the joy. You can't spend your whole life trying to find relief from a life that feels out of your control.
That's coaching.
Claiming what's yours. And unapologetically releasing what never was.
Today, I live on a small farm in the Columbia River Gorge, where I gather women to cut flowers and share our challenges and dreams. I teach yoga, make our famous pesto for the local farmers market, and get to be the mom of a budding ten-year-old actor.
This is the kind of wellness I want to share with women: not another way to manage yourself, but a way to become more present for the life you're already living.
As a holistic health coach, I work with women who want to feel better, make meaningful changes, and truly enjoy the gift of God's creation—and feel empowered to participate in it.
That might mean changing your relationship with alcohol, building healthier habits, navigating a new season of life or a health concern, or simply finding your way back to what matters.
My approach brings together more than two decades of experience in wellness, embodiment, and spiritual mindfulness, along with seven years of helping women transform their relationship with alcohol.
I don't believe you need another perfect plan.
I believe you need space to get clear about what matters, understand what's getting in the way, and choose what deserves your energy now.
Wellness is an act of devotion.
And the goal isn't just to live longer or be healthier.
It's to live life like you mean it.
Where are you finding relief when you could be adding joy?
