I have more than 13 years of experience in the food and beverage industry. I grew passionate about food and how it affects the body after considering the prominent health issues in my extended family like heart disease and high cholesterol. Pregnancy loss spurred this passion. I was forced to dig much deeper when I was diagnosed with cancer over twenty years ago. By God’s grace, I have been able to use my experiences in the food industry coupled with my life experiences to counsel those with health challenges toward simple healthy lifestyle changes. And Wellness this Way was born for this purpose: 

I’d rather be outside swimming, biking, or walking. I love nature! It points me to God ( Romans 1:18-20). I decided, key word: “decided,” I was going to work out daily, knowing that I would miss a day or two from time to time. This decision helps to keep me on track! When it comes to eating – simple, easy recipes are key. My younger son claims that when the fall and winter arrive, our house is filled with soup and baked treats. Did I mention that I also love to bake healthy versions of yummy treats? Speaking of sons, I have two! They are true gifts from the Lord. Their help and expertise make Wellness this Way possible.

You can count on me to give you evidence-based facts about the ingredients and exercises I choose. I share these facts so they will inspire you to live a healthy lifestyle. Living healthy doesn’t have to be complicated!

I am a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and Health Coach (CHC) with American Counsel on Exercise. I have done extensive studying in the health and wellness field including a certification from Cornell in nutrition and healthy living. I have a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and in a former life I was in fashion buying and merchandising. I love to make things beautiful!

The recipes that I share on my Youtube channel are healthy, tasty, relatively inexpensive, and simple to make. Studies show that lasting change starts in the mind with small, simple shifts. My goal is to help you make those simple shifts, to choose your health!
