I am a triple-board-certified practitioner who specializes in integrative health coaching and nutrition-based services. I have over two decades of experience in the health and wellness space.

 

My journey began at Curves, a women's health and fitness establishment, where I honed my skills throughout high school and college. Additionally, I completed two extensive internships during college, each offering invaluable experiences. One took place at Chelsea Senior Living, where I focused my skill development in memory care. The other, at Kessler Institute, a prestigious rehabilitation center recognized for excellence. After my internship at Kessler, I achieved board certification as a Recreational Therapist and was offered my first full-time job in the traumatic brain injury unit.

​

Subsequently, I moved on to manage the Recreational Therapy department at AristaCare, a skilled nursing and subacute facility. Long-term care was closer aligned with my values and interests, as elders have always held a special place in my heart. One of my top blessings is to have shared my childhood home with my grandmother, who made a profound impact on my life. She unfortunately was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, which prompted a desire to refocus my efforts in memory care.

​

My experiences in traditional healthcare settings exposed me to the inherent flaws in many systems. That was exacerbated after losing my father to leukemia in 2018. I realized, on a personal level, that pieces are too often lacking from the full treatment model. I felt that there had to be a different way to provide personalized care that would result in lasting and effective change and, in some cases, an overall improved quality of life. I spent a lot of time reflecting during my father's final months, and I knew that my purpose was much larger than what I was able to do working in a long-term care facility. I aspired to explore the realm of preventative medicine, while also learning about natural treatment options for suitable ailments.

​

Losing my dad at 27 was life changing. It led me to embark on a healing and educational journey, and I enrolled in multiple accredited institutions to gain additional credentials to my practice. I decided to take a huge leap and start my own business, which has been incredibly freeing. I strive to encourage and support my clients in making lasting change in their lives. I love that the style of coaching empowers individuals, as opposed to the common one-sided expert approach. As one final note, I am able to fuse my passion for food and cooking into my practice, which is something I have dreamed about for as long as I can remember. That's good livin'!

About Good Livin'

 

The name "Good Livin'" is a tribute to my father, who embraced those words as his motto in life. Good Livin’ embodies the concept of striving for optimal wellness rather than baseline health. I believe everyone's healthcare journey is unique, and should be treated as such.
