SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

I love talking to audiences large and small about health and wellness from the particular lens of Lifestyle Medicine and Neurosomatic (body-based) approaches to behavior change.

Change from
the inside out

I help women lose weight and transform their health from the in-side out.  I view lifestyle-related conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia as symptoms, and unhealthy behaviors as coping mechanisms. 

My genius is to help you pinpoint the root cause of your coping mechanisms, and it typically comes down to a fear.  Once this “splinter” is lovingly pulled out, healthy behaviors, weight loss, and bringing forth the healthy, vibrant, gorgeous being that is your birthright become joyful and pleasurable.  

With specialized training in lifestyle medicine and neurosomatic therapy, I equip you with knowledge and tools to approach your health journey with confidence and in a whole new way, and start seeing results right away and for good.  Health should feel good every step of the way. 

My motto is “simple, effective, and pleasurable.”
