integrative health coaching based in Portland, Oregon and serving clients worldwide
My Approach
Integrative health coaching is individualized support for people seeking to move towards long-term, sustainable health. A doctor might offer you diagnosis and treatment for an illness or injury. A sports coach might prepare you to perform for a specific athletic event. A health coach can help you identify how you want to feel and help you draw a map to get there, starting where you're standing right now.
Inclusive
I support individuals of all gender identities, sexual orientations, body types, races, ages, abilities, and belief systems. My approach begins with radical acceptance of who you are today.
Science-Based
I hold a PhD in nursing science as well as a clinical Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP). I am trained in evidence-based practice and bring a research-informed perspective to health.
Individual-Focused
I am trained in integrative health and value a broad range of healing practices. Each individual’s needs and goals form the foundation of the plan and process.
