What do you love most about your job?
I love to be a part of and watch people's lives change for the better. When people overcome what seems like impossible challenges caused by chronic illness and disability.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Working as a Therapist for a larger corporation, I felt we were too limited in our methods, pressured to focus on quantity rather than the quality of what we did. I wanted to prove that it is possible to make a living by helping people create life-changing results in their lives using evidence-based approaches.
Why should our clients choose you?
My approach is structured by flexibility. My goal is to listen intently to what you, the client are aiming for. I want that the goals that we develop to be your goals. My job is to help you discover what those are and help you stay on track and nudge you forward to better health, independence, and quality of life. My inspiration comes from the clients I have worked with during my 22 years as an Occupational Therapist and Life Coach.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

Stress Management
We can't eliminate all stressors from life. If we did, life would become meaning less. Instead, there are powerful ways to manage stressors and build our resilience to stress. When it feels like the waves of life are knocking you down, you can learn to ride the waves instead. Like learning to surf, it takes training.
