A bit about me...

I was born in Alberta and have circled back after living in many different places.  Thanks to the many different places I have lived, I expanded my love to connect with people and the joy of experiencing different cultures and the gifts they offer.  

​My life has been a journey of emotional, spiritual, and physical growth.  I believe I am a spiritual being living a human experience.  

​From when I was young, I remember a few times when my passion and gift to help others was being cultivated.  It was never a surprise when a friend or stranger would feel comfortable approaching me to talk or ask for advice.  A most proud moment for me happened around the age of 7. I was sitting in the back seat of our family car looking up into the sky on our way back from visiting family after the death of two family members. In the dark of the car, I remember staring up at the stars thinking the two new bright twinkling stars in the dark sky were the souls of family we had just lost. 

Another transformative element in my life, beginning as a teenager, has been my struggle with my weight.  These moments early in my life are what led me on the path to health and wellness and encouraging others.

Rarely, I don't have a book or two, a pencil, and a notebook everywhere I go.  I am an avid lifelong learner.  I will reread a book or retake a course knowing I will always learn something new the second time around.  Knowledge of how to help others on their own wellness journey is priceless to me.
