Transform your SELF to transform your life.
If you're nodding along, I get it. I've been there, and it's why I became a Self-Health Coach.
For Business Owners, High-Performers & Women Navigating Change
When success satisfies everyone around you but you.
Who’ve achieved success but feel lost, exhausted or unfulfilled, from burnout, fading physical or mental strength, ignoring their own self-health needs, or life transitions, despite doing everything right.
Self-Health Coach • Speaker • Author • Positive Intelligence (PQ Coach)
Helping you trade self-criticism for self-compassion.
Coaching programs, interactive sessions, and keynotes grounded in Positive Intelligence® that help you quiet the inner saboteurs and reconnect with yourself without fixing, forcing, or performing.
Led by experience, not theory
For people others rely on
changes that fit real life
Practical tools you’ll use
You cannot shame yourself into lasting change. But you can love yourself into it.
Self-compassion is the beginning of thriving.
It is the shift that turns survival into strength, obligation into purpose, and daily habits into a pathway to a life well-lived.
Most of us were never taught how to love ourselves. In fact, many of us were taught the opposite. We learned that putting ourselves first was selfish, that being hard on ourselves built character, and that self-criticism was a form of motivation.
But this conditioning comes at a cost. When self-compassion is labeled as selfish, we learn to abandon ourselves in moments when we need support the most.
We push through exhaustion, ignore emotional pain, and override our own needs, believing that strength means self-sacrifice.
Over time, this creates stress, resentment, and disconnection from ourselves, essentially making health harder to sustain and joy harder to access.
This Work Is Personal
I didn’t arrive here by accident.
For a long time, my life looked solid from the outside. I was capable, driven, responsible. I knew how to take care of people, how to push through, how to keep going. And I did. For years.
But somewhere along the way, I realized I was doing everything right and still felt disconnected from myself.
Not lost in a dramatic way. Just quietly out of alignment. I was strong for everyone else, but I wasn’t really listening to what I needed anymore... physically, mentally, or emotionally.
That moment changed everything.
I didn’t need another plan or more discipline. I needed to slow down long enough to pay attention. To reconnect with my values. To look honestly at my habits, my relationships, and the way I was treating myself. That process wasn’t flashy, but it was life-changing.
As I deepened this work, both personally and professionally, I trained as a Positive Intelligence® coach and stepped into my work as a Self‑Health Coach. I learned practical tools to recognize unhelpful mental patterns and respond with more clarity and self‑trust.

What I do.
Self-Health Coaching for Business Owners, Teams, and Women Navigating Change
I work with people who feel disconnected from their own lives, often after years of doing what needed to be done for everyone else. Many are business owners, leaders, and high-performers who look capable on the outside but feel off on the inside.
As a Self‑Health Coach and certified Positive Intelligence (PQ) coach, I help people uncover why they feel overwhelmed and stretched thin and teach them how to meet those moments with clarity so they can stop running on empty and rebuild real self‑trust.
I do this work through public speaking, facilitated group sessions, and one-on-one Self-Health coaching. Sometimes it starts with a keynote. Sometimes it's deeper, more personal work over time.
Often, it includes simple assessments that help people slow down, take an honest look at where they are, and understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
My background as a physical therapist assistant and certified personal trainer deeply shapes this work. I help people understand what their bodies need, reconnect with their own strength, and make realistic changes that support a healthier and more sustainable life.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. The work is practical, grounded, and personal. It’s about awareness, clarity, and reconnecting with yourself in a way that fits your real life—not a version of it you’re trying to live up to.

People and Teams Who’ve Welcomed Me Into Their Work
Self-health coaching trusted by people and teams across industries.
From small teams to large organizations, I have shared my journey with people who see themselves in it and who are ready for their own shift.
Patty Durell was our spousal retreat speaker last month, and several of my members commented to me that she is probably the best speaker we have ever had. Not just best retreat speaker, best speaker in our group's 14 years. Her topic was "Self-Health for Executives." I strongly recommend her.
