Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, I raised two sons here, and owned and operated a successful local home renovation company. I enjoy the Bay Area, and love the abundance of mountains, beaches and Sunshine filled days.

I specialize in active aging, as we age it becomes more difficult to find the motivation needed to change unhealthy habits. I have been there and I know the challenges we face when trying to improve our health. Today I use my experience, knowledge and passion to help others find good health and happiness.

My love for wellness began out of my own journey to find good health. My health declined in my late forties. At the age of 49, I found myself fifty pounds overweight, depressed, anxious and truly wanted to end my life due to the pain.

I sought help from healthcare professionals, their answer was prescription medications, if one did not help I was prescribed another. The harmful side effects caused serious health issues and no relief.

I could not sleep, I was existing through life, one day to the next just getting through. The worst part is I accepted this, I believed this was just aging and this was my life. I did not know there was a different way to feel.

I decided to find my own way to good health, I felt there had to be a better way to live, and I began my journey into wellness.

That was over fourteen years ago, I lost fifty pounds, eliminate all medications and their harmful side effects. I changed my life with real food, no strict diets and I found walking and hiking as my passion. Today I’m happy, in good health and have an active lifestyle.

Through my journey I gained vast knowledge of our healthcare system, the good and the very bad. Today I pass this on to my clients, I enjoy helping others change their lifestyle, and find good health, happiness and success.
