Together We Can Help You Understand What’s Going On With Your Body
I am a warm-hearted health coach, a loving mother, and a proud grandmother who believes in the power of resilience, the gift of life, and the guiding light of faith in God.
My Journey to This Place
Early Challenges and Resilience
From an early age, I faced a unique challenge: the gradual loss of my vision due to retinitis pigmentosa. At just 11 years old, I began an uncertain journey into a world of darkness that would become my greatest teacher. Despite the fear and confusion, I found strength in the unknown, fueling my determination to carve out a vibrant life for myself. This unexpected path led me to embrace health and wellness as more than just a profession; they became my passion, my purpose, and my way of connecting with humanity.
Growing Up and Finding a Purpose
Growing up in Southern California, I was fortunate to work at a health spa where I witnessed the transformative power of wellness firsthand. It was here that I realized the importance of nurturing not just the body but the spirit as well. At 21, I took my passion to Glastonbury, CT, where I opened a health food store dedicated to helping others break free from the chains of poor health. (I wanted to inspire people to find their joy and vitality, just as I was learning to do despite my own challenges.
Family and Personal Life
Family has always been at the heart of my journey. I shared my life with my incredible husband, Bill, who introduced me to the automotive industry. Together, we built a life filled with love, laughter, and two beautiful daughters, Taia and Traci, who fill my heart with pride. I am also blessed with three wonderful grandchildren: Leo, Giada, and Rocco, whose joy and curiosity remind me daily of the beauty of life. Sadly, Bill's battle with type 2 diabetes ended in 2022, but our journey together taught me invaluable lessons about health, resilience, and the importance of holistic living. I am proud of the care we provided each other, including overcoming health obstacles that seemed insurmountable.
Professional Journey in Health and Wellness
Over the years, my experience in the health field has shaped my approach to guiding others on their wellness journeys. Working in a health food store, I discovered the joy of helping people overcome challenges—whether it was recommending supplements for better energy or guiding someone toward nutritional choices that fit their unique needs. I’ve seen firsthand that the body is designed to heal when given the right tools and support. Those moments of helping people take charge of their health lit a spark in me. This excitement is something I carry into my work with clients today.
Running and Discovering New Passions
In 2017, I discovered something extraordinary: I could run. Joining Achilles International, a nonprofit that empowers people with disabilities to participate in mainstream athletic events, opened my eyes to a new world of possibilities. Their incredible community of volunteer guides and accomplished athletes who provide support and encouragement every step of the way has made all the difference in my journey. I’ve completed seven half marathons and countless 5K and 10K races through this support. Running has become a metaphor for my life: a testament to resilience, determination, and the joy of movement. I invite you to lace up your shoes and join me in this race—not just for fitness but for a life filled with vitality, joy, and the rewards of good health.
