ABOUT ME

Take Care, Be Strong

I am a devoted child of God, loving wife, and mother of two, with a deep passion for fostering human flourishing. As a precision medicine pharmacist, lifestyle medicine practitioner, and whole health coach, I advocate for human-centered public health policies that empower individuals to practice high-quality, self-directed healthcare at home. A creative thinker and outdoor enthusiast, I find joy in running, fitness, sourdough baking, and inspiring awe for the human body. My mission is to empower my community to embrace whole health intuitively and confidently finding awe for creation and the amazing human body. Guided by Jeremiah 29:11, my vision is a future free from chronic disease, where mobility, cellular health, and true resilience thrive.

Where you can find me!

I’m on a mission to empower my community with self care skills that enhance mobility, cellular health, and true resilience. Join me so you too can take care and be strong (Joshua 1:9)!

I invite you to cultivate a deepening of your faith as you focus on your health. Wellness doesn’t come from a product nor is it dependent on the system or an expert. Putting God first, you can create a lifestyle that supports your wellness and your family.
