I am a full-time single mom of two amazing teenagers. I've spent their growing years as a Masters prepared Registered Nurse, expanding my role with the drive of my passions. I am a Certified Case Manager and Certified Health Coach with a specialization in behavior change modifications, and have worked with all ages and a diverse demographic. I became a certified Mindfulness Educator and Yoga teacher (CYT-200) while working in the public school system to bring a more holistic approach to health education. The experiences I've had with travel, cultural immersion, and community health have played a huge part of shaping who I am today. Deeper Bonds is a culmination of where my passions have lead and my commitment to my kids and their generation.
"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.” – Richard Bach
While this venture is primarily about teens, and I talk a lot about my own experiences with my teens, there is a more global drive behind my mission. Between close family, friends, and the extended community I serve, I've both witnessed and been intimately involved with the repercussions of mental health conditions (treated and untreated), dementia and Alzheimer's, strokes, and traumatic brain injuries among others. I would not wish any of these on anyone and yet, every day I see the preventative measures that could spare someone and their loved ones such a life-altering condition.
The virtual/telephonic health coaching I offer is person and family centered, with the client in the driver's seat. Together, we identify and clarify your goals, build a road map to reach them, and mark checkpoints along the path to ensure you are on track or if an alternate route should be considered. I will hold you accountable and provide encouragement throughout, while empowering you with tools and resources for success. Not every coach-client relationship is a good fit for a number of reasons. Therefore, I offer a no-cost 20 minute consultation to break the ice and allow us both to briefly explore if initial values and approach align. Click the Contact Us button to request more information.
