The story behind the practice

I've always been interested in how we live in our bodies.

Education & professional training

The background behind my work.

My practice draws on formal health education, professional wellness coaching and additional training in movement, traditional herbal practices and body awareness.

Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences

Undergraduate education in health, human development and the foundations of health promotion.

National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC)

National board certification in health and wellness coaching, including training in behavior change, coaching ethics and client-centered practice.

200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training

Foundational training in movement instruction, breath awareness, anatomy and group class facilitation.

Continuing Education in Western Herbalism

Additional coursework in plant identification, traditional herbal preparations, botanical safety and herbal education.

Somatic Awareness & Nervous System Education

Continuing education in body awareness, grounding exercises and movement-based stress education. This is not a clinical psychotherapy credential.

These sample qualifications illustrate the training background of this fictional practitioner. Coaching, yoga instruction and herbal education do not independently authorize medical diagnosis, psychotherapy or medical nutrition therapy.

How I approach wellbeing

Good health is part of ordinary life.
