About Me

At Evergreen, I work with clients to help them heal their bodies in two different capacities, as a yoga teacher and a holistic health coach.

I began battling my body at an early age, spending years yo-yo dieting while learning all I could about nutrition from a weight loss perspective, which was my primary health metric at the time.

After graduating from the Penn State College of Health and Human Development, I began a 17 year career in the senior living industry. Seeing the daily impact of poor health choices on aging increased my sense of urgency to take care of my body. I realized how much more there was to health than achieving a goal weight.

I was eager to share what I was seeing with others who were struggling and became a certified Holistic Health and Life Coach in 2018. I loved helping my clients develop healthy habits yet I felt guilty about the clients who would “fall off track.” It turns out that building healthy habits is a very different skill than eliminating negative habits, like turning to food for comfort.

To bring my coaching to the next level, I underwent certification in the Truce Process as well as the Truce with Food Process. These trainings were transformative and helped me get to the root cause of why my clients were not able to create the lasting change they were seeking.

In the midst of this journey, I also turned to yoga, which then became my primary tool to heal my nervous system. After more than a decade as a yoga student, I completed my training as a 200-hour registered yoga teacher (RYT) in 2021 with the goal of helping others who wish to heal both their minds and bodies.
