My initial path to wellness began at age 20 after living several years with myriad of diagnoses including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and TMJ. After enduring 3 years of tests, shots, pills and extremely poor health I reached my end point and knew I had to make a change. I quit college, left the Midwest and moved to Phoenix to heal myself in the warm sun. In a matter of months, after changing my thinking, eating and exercise habits, I was off all medications and feeling 100% healthy, which I continue to enjoy to this day.
My path to wellness consulting began with a post-natal yoga class in 1998. I was running my family's million dollar retail business while building my fledgling web design firm and just gave birth to my first child. I was overworked, under-rested, stressed out and unable to juggle the load.
I changed to work-at-home status but found that it didn't help balance my life - instead I had less boundaries and more work! When my daughter was 4 months old I joined a beginner's yoga program hoping to relieve some stress and began a well mind journey that continues to this day. What I learned on the mat I found myself applying off the mat - in my relationships, my business, my emotions, actions and more.
My journey continued as I balanced my entrepreneurial businesses while studying nutrition, exercise and life coaching. I was grateful for my deep love of reading and research, which carries on to this day, as I am constantly learning, assessing and reviewing new tools & techniques that give clients optimum benefits.
As I segued from my retail, lodging and marketing businesses to concentrate fully on holistic wellness coaching I found that the majority of people are searching for a whole life transformation. Focusing on one area, diet for instance, is addressing only the symptom, not the cause. Today's issues affect more than just one area of life and that requires a multi-faceted solution.
Putting together my expansive entrepreneurial experience with my wellness and life coaching, & a passion for environmental change, I've created a transformational life coaching business where I unearth the cause of issues & create solutions for lasting change.
My quest to find true balance & deep fulfillment in every facet of my life has led me to create Your Wellness Toolkit, giving you very effective tools in dozens of categories covering mind, body, business, spirit and surroundings. These strategies, used in my life transformation coaching, provide you with an simple, direct path towards fulfillment, balance, wellness and success.
