Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach

Beaufort, SC

I was born and raised in Beaufort, SC, and now reside in Beaufort with my husband.  Before becoming a coach, I was an elementary school teacher.  It was my own health struggles that led me to coaching.  

My love of wellness began in college when I picked up running.  Running led into weight lifting and becoming a personal trainer.  I picked up the practice of yoga and Pilates and was an avid spin participant.  I dealt with athletic bulimia and hypoglycemia. At the age of 30, I experienced major life changes and went into a depression and gained weight.  While teaching I experienced constant injuries which kept me away from running.  Every afternoon I had a bloated belly and I developed a rash just on my legs and it always disappeared during the summer.

I left teaching in 2016, and became certified as a health coach and a 200 hour yoga instructor.  In 2017, I started my practice and in 2020, I became board certified.  

When I am not working with clients, I am hanging with my husband, family and friends.  I enjoy playing on our boat, paddleboarding, exercising, cooking, reading, listening to podcasts and traveling.  I love learning.  I have two master degrees.  My first is in Public Administration and my second one is in Teaching.  I am a director of a nonprofit.  My 19 year old cousin was murdered in 2020, and I started a nonprofit in his honor.  The mission of the nonprofit is to raise money through running for scholarship funds to faith based schools.
