About
I am a highly sensitive peri/menopausal woman! I am happy, healthy and thriving and want to get you there too.
My dedication to a healthy lifestyle has brought me through challenges toward a life that I love! I am more energetic, more joyful, and more prosperous than ever. I can show you how to implement the same healthier habits in your life to reduce inflammation and boost every part of your health.
I am a mom of three living in Southern Texas. I enjoy reading, gardening and practicing yoga.
ONCE UPON A TIME
I was a health enthusiast and director of my family's health. I thought I had life under control. Until I... didn't.
After a difficult divorce, I was looking for a way ahead. A coach told me I needed a "comeback story" and a "new identity." I didn't know what that could be. How does one reinvent themselves?
Under the time pressure of being a single parent and with my dedication to nutrition for my family, I sought high and low to find a new, easier way to live healthily (and a new way to care for myself under an increased level of stress).
Then I finally found my purpose and my direction in sharing clever solutions and the tools needed to live an inflammation reducing lifestyle.
My cookbook, Shortcut Real Food: 20-minute meals, was born from my new situation. Its ideas and methods were a revelation and the answer to my cooking stress. It is now my comeback story (it would never have happened if I hadn't been down) and a new identity - health coach, author, blogger, and healing yoga teacher for older women. My cookbook and I have even appeared on television!
That coach's words were the catalyst. An expert often can see what we cannot see beyond. Let me be the catalyst in your life.
