Certified Health and Life Coach Traverse City

I became certified in 2024 through the Health Coach Institute, but my journey began long before I earned my certifications. After running a dance studio, raising six children, and navigating a 24-year marriage and narcissistic abuse that ended in divorce, I knew it was time for a change. I took a leap of faith, traveling solo to South America, where I found healing and transformation. Now, I help other women step into their next chapters with confidence, purpose, and joy.

I specialize in guiding women in midlife (40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond) who are ready for meaningful change. My clients are typically accomplished women who've prioritized others for decades and now feel a stirring to reclaim their own dreams. They come seeking clarity and renewed purpose—whether they're navigating empty nests, career pivots, relationship shifts, or simply that nagging feeling that "there must be more." Many arrive feeling stuck, uncertain about their next chapter, or sensing untapped potential within themselves. They're looking for support in their health journeys, professional reinvention, relationship dynamics, or deeper personal fulfillment. What unites my clients is their readiness to stop waiting for "someday" and their desire to create a vibrant, unapologetic life now—one filled with joy, adventure, and authentic self-expression.

My coaching approach is deeply personal. I’ve lived through the challenges my clients face, from reinventing myself after divorce to rebuilding my life from the ground up. I offer a blend of practical strategies and emotional support that address both mindset and lifestyle. Plus, I focus on helping women embrace their 'wild'—living boldly, joyfully, and with purpose.

Absolutely. I've guided hundreds of midlife women to remarkable breakthroughs. My clients consistently discover new clarity, reignite dormant passions, and develop the courage to create lives they truly love. The transformations I witness are profound—improved health, revitalized relationships, renewed purpose, and genuine joy. The structured coaching approach creates a foundation for lasting change, while the personalized support ensures you overcome your specific challenges. When you commit to the process, the results speak for themselves. Don't just take my word for it—read the client testimonials throughout my site to see what's possible for you too.

You can expect transformative, lasting change that ripples through every aspect of your life. My clients consistently gain crystal-clear clarity about what they truly want, establish firm but loving boundaries that protect their energy and time, and develop unshakable confidence to make bold, empowered decisions. You'll build practical tools to overcome obstacles that have kept you stuck for years. Whether you're seeking deeper purpose, exhilarating adventure, improved health, or simply more balance and joy, we'll work systematically to align your daily life with what matters most to you. The result is a profound shift from feeling uncertain or invisible to living with intention and vibrancy. Most importantly, you'll develop the self-trust and resilience to continue evolving long after our coaching partnership ends. This isn't about quick fixes—it's about sustainable transformation that allows you to truly thrive in this next chapter of life.

Change begins as soon as you commit to the process. Most clients see shifts within the first few weeks, and deeper transformation happens over the course of our work together.
