My passion for health began about 28 years ago while opening a retail store in Park city, Utah.

Having  a deep conviction that my body was such an incredible gift from my creator, I recognized mine needed to be serious stewardship to keep it healthy.  While shopping for my store I discovered essential oils after a strenuous day at market.  My first hand experience was immediate relief for my throbbing feet from a soak in peppermint essential oil.  I was hooked.  Delving into learning all I could about the magical world of aromatherapy I went to Oregon to be tutored by a well known aromatherapist. The goal was  to become a certified aromatherapist.  This started my journey into herbs, holistic medicine, and alternative healing ever.

Bio

I am a 72 yr old  mother of 8 children,  plus 3 more I inherited with I married my amazing husband. We have 34 grandchildren, 14 great grands along with an amazing amount of joy from the whole herd.

Working required long hours on the phone and in the car.  Despite living a healthy lifestyle, I was seriously overweight, despite my regular exercise and continual dieting, Every diet I read about sparked new hope.  After spending thousands of dollars on gyms, programs, plans and exercise equipment, I just kept growing. 3 1/2 years ago I lost 81 pounds that I have kept off.   I discovered a simple way that showed me what my obstacles were and where I was sabotaging myself. I found peace and a right size body.

Hope

I discovered a way to eat healthy and love it.  I eat delicious food.  I eat out, I cook too.  I  feel great and my health problems have disappeared!

Healthy eating doesn’t have to cost a lot, I have no food or expensive plans to sell you.  I just have sincere, honest coaching to help you become your best self.  Customized for your lifestyle.

My ideas don’t mean depriving yourself of delicious food,  just means making different choices. I eat real food. It’s delicious and easy. I am exercising less and I’m the best shape of my life.

Discovery

It’s all about balance. Body, Mind and Spirit. That’s where joy meets life.

I would be honored to be your life and health coach.  With the exception of a few workshops and larger groups my fee is by donation.  Pay what it’s worth to you. Pay what you can afford.   I find great joy in encouraging & supporting others to find what I have found.
