The Practice
Why You? Why now?
How happy are you? Truly happy? Maybe in your work life, but not your personal life? Or reversed, you're happy in your personal life, but work stinks? What about your day to day environment, your surroundings? And of course, how is your physical health? Would you believe all of the above are closely connected and contribute to your overall happiness, every single day? This is where I want to help you achieve and maintain balance. Together, we will assess and work to improve all aspects of your life, including mental, physical, emotional (relationships), environmental, occupational and spiritual (purpose) health, using scientifically proven, evidence based techniques.
Experience and Professionalism
Professionalism: 30+ years practicing as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN, since 1993) Spent my nursing career growing and supporting my family of 2 amazing daughters, while working full time in several areas...began in a teaching hospital on a medical-surgical floor, then moved and grew into pediatric private duty care, home health visits for various diagnoses, child-specific nurse, and now returned to my first love, hospice nursing
2020 Graduated Cum Laud from Metropolitan State University Denver with a BS major in Integrative Healthcare, minor in Lifestyle Medicine
where I gained the knowledge and practice to obtain the NBC-HWC
October 2020 Certified as an NBC- HWC which means a Nationally Board Certified, Health and Wellness Coach
Experience: Life (and almost death experience)
1) In 2006, after emergency surgery (11pm-1am), I was diagnosed and told in recovery that it was colon cancer. After abdominal surgery recovery, treatment meant 6 months of chemotherapy every other week for 3 days in a row...and yet, here we are today, knock on wood, cancer-free!
2) Then, in 2022, it became my turn as caregiver for my husband, who endured major oral surgery (with a complicated and arduous recovery) which has provided me with a 'whole new perspective' on the care GIVER side of illness and complex recovery.
So, What does NBC-HWC mean for you? Why choose ME as your coach?!
My certification is from the National Board for Certification of Health and Wellness Coaches. This board sets the standards and designs the curriculum and testing required for certification by collaboration with the NBME (National Board of Medical Examiners)
The NBC-HWC requires us to renew our certification every 3 years with a minimum of 36 credit education (CE) hours obtained before we can apply for recertification, therefore we stay updated in our coaching
