A Thoughtful, Root-Cause Approach to Wellness

 

I help adults navigate stress, midlife transitions, weight changes, autoimmune conditions, and ongoing health challenges through personalized, sustainable wellness coaching — without quick fixes.

​

At The Wellness Map, wellness isn’t about restriction, trends, or willpower. It’s about understanding the whole person and creating change that works in real life.

​

My Story

Like many of the clients I work with, my journey to wellness didn’t follow a straight line.

​

For years, I struggled with digestive issues, chronic stress, sugar cravings and symptoms that never fully made sense. I did what I was told to do — followed recommendations, tried different approaches, and pushed through — yet nothing truly resolved the underlying issues.

​

Eventually, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. While the diagnosis offered a name, it didn’t offer the kind of support I needed to feel well again.

​

At the same time, I was navigating the demands of a long corporate career — managing stress, responsibilities, and expectations while trying to hold everything together. Like many professionals, I learned how to function through exhaustion rather than address it.

​

That combination — chronic stress, autoimmune challenges, and feeling unseen by conventional approaches — became a turning point.

 

​​

A Shift Toward Root-Cause Wellness

What ultimately helped wasn’t a single solution, supplement, or plan. It was learning how deeply stress, lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, relationships, and past experiences are interconnected — and how addressing root causes creates space for healing.

​

This shift changed not only my health, but my perspective.

​

I began studying integrative nutrition, holistic wellness, and preventive health, eventually becoming a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and a Certified Recovery Coach. I immersed myself in understanding how stress, habits, and physiology interact — especially during periods of long-term strain.

 

 

What I learned confirmed something I had already lived:

Health challenges are rarely about a lack of discipline. They are often about overload, imbalance, and unmet needs.

​​

How I Support Clients:

My work centers on helping clients who feel stuck — often doing “all the right things” without seeing lasting results.

​

I support adults navigating:

• Chronic stress and burnout

• Weight changes without restriction or dieting

• Sugar cravings and emotional eating

• Autoimmune conditions

• Long-term or ongoing health concerns

 

Coaching is personalized and collaborative:

We explore nutrition, lifestyle, stress patterns, and daily habits through a compassionate, practical lens — always grounded in sustainability, not urgency.

 

This is not about fixing the body.  It’s about supporting it.

​

 

Why This Approach Matters

Many of the challenges people face today — from weight resistance to autoimmune flares — are connected by underlying stress and long-term patterns. When those root causes are addressed, change becomes more natural and sustainable.

​

My goal is to help clients reconnect with their bodies, reduce overwhelm, and build a foundation for health that feels realistic and supportive — not rigid or exhausting.

 

​

Experience & Credentials

In addition to my coaching certifications, I bring:

• 20 years of corporate experience

• Guest appearances on podcasts and local television

• Contributions to wellness companies and corporate seminars

• A deep understanding of the pressures professionals face

This combination allows me to meet clients where they are — with empathy, credibility, and real-world perspective.
