Originally from Aberdeen, SD, I hold a bachelor’s degree in Social Work with a minor in Human Relations from St. Cloud State University. I’ve called Duluth home since 2003, where I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring the outdoors, traveling, writing, and pursuing creative projects. I strive to live simply, focusing on activities that bring joy, balance, and inner peace.

My own wellness journey began in my 20s when I sought tools to manage anxiety. A Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course introduced me to the power of breathwork, meditation, and gentle yoga, sparking my exploration of whole foods and their impact on mental and physical well-being. The concept of the body as self-healing deeply resonated with me and continues to guide my practices.

In 2010, I discovered cardio kickboxing, which strengthened both my body and mind while connecting me to a supportive community. Soon after, I began lifting kettlebells, further deepening my love for movement and mindfulness. These practices became essential outlets for stress and a foundation for physical and emotional resilience.

Today, I enjoy guiding clients in developing sustainable, balanced lifestyles that support long-term health, vitality, and a life free from disease.
