In the last ten years, I’ve lived in rural Pennsylvania, suburban Ohio, urban Northern Ireland, a renovated camper-van traveling across the contiguous United States, and now downtown Denver, Colorado. Through each of these new adventures, I’ve given myself the gifts of curiosity and play as I adjusted my habits to suit each new environment. I found ways to move my body and eat nourishing meals while living full-time out of my car, working 60-hour work weeks, and attending graduate school full-time. I learned to combat cravings while working from home. I also uncovered the importance of syncing with the strengths of my biological cycles, plus taking time to discern which of my daily habits and routines are truly in alignment with my values.

I bring this same knowledge and experience to my role coaching rural clients toward their unique visions of wellness. I dive into the very real barriers impacting rural Americans today: transportation, food scarcity, isolation, health illiteracy, and more. I also challenge every client to see that there need be no joys off-limits - from adult beverages to sweets, indulgent purchases to Sundays spent lounging in bed! This is not a restrictive, prescriptive, one-size-fits-all program. Instead, it’s a coaching experience designed to support each individual to build and sustain the habits which may have felt “one step forward and two steps back” up to now.

I’ve also compiled a long list of tools, resources, and techniques for managing fatigue, low mood, environmental obstacles, and more. With these strategies serving just as opportunities to experiment, in each relationship I build with a client, we design a lifestyle that’s unique to their goals and supports their individualized vision for a healthier, happier, more fulfilling future.
