I'm a Duke-certified Health & Well-Being Coach and the founder of Loon Rising, LLC—fulfilling a lifelong dream to work directly with people in compassion and service of their health and wellness journeys.

My path here has been anything but linear, and I take pride in the resilience it took to arrive at this place. With nearly 30 years in the dietary supplement and health sciences industries—and just as many years navigating real life with humor, heart, and a strong cup of black coffee—I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my coaching practice.

Over the years, I've worn many hats, including wife, mom, Lyme disease warrior (and author), budding cat rescue advocate, medieval history enthusiast, Rosary garden admirer, extroverted introvert (yes, it’s a thing), and self-declared president of my imaginary Low FODMAP Diet fan club—our meetings would be quiet, but our guts would be grateful.

I’ve celebrated the milestone of midlife and all the emotional and physical changes that come with it. This chapter has deepened my faith and strengthened my personal resilience strategies—tools I now share with clients who are navigating their own transformations.

These life experiences fuel my coaching with empathy, curiosity, and a deep belief that emotional resilience is the foundation of health. While we can’t always control our circumstances, we can learn to find peace, clarity, and small wins in our health and wellness journeys.
