Speaker, Author & Biblical Health Coach

A “work in progress” is how I describe myself! I’ve weathered a host of personal challenges in my 66 years on this planet and am thankful to have discovered the life-changing power of having a “renewed mind”. God has taught me many profound lessons and my passion is to pass those on to you! Whether the topic is body, soul, or spirit – I am willing to transparently share my stories and boldly proclaim the truth of God’s love and word to transform us when we humbly surrender to his awesome power.

I’ve got a really diverse professional background – a registered nurse specializing in labor and delivery, corporate marketing manager for a fortune 100 company, fitness professional, lifestyle coach and a talk radio host to name a few. In 1997, I also the founded Women of Purpose – a California outreach ministry for women. One of my favorite roles is that of a keynote speaker for women’s retreats and conferences. You can learn more about my topics and even watch some of my speaking videos below.

BIBLICAL HEALTH COACHING: While it may seem to many that I’m qualified to coach you because of my background as a registered nurse and professional fitness credentials, I actually believe my greater wisdom comes from my own experience overcoming an unhealthy relationship with food and improper body image. It was so severe in my early 20’s that I was bingeing and purging up to five times per day. I was utterly out of control – feeling helpless to change – and yet desperately wanting to realize lasting victory.

I tried almost every diet under the sun and ended up becoming more and more obsessed with food and rather than losing – I ended up gaining more weight. I hated the back fat that bulged under my bra strap and how my thighs rubbed together. I was constantly self-conscious of my appearance and feeling fat and ugly.

After years of trying diet pills, struggling with bulimia, and losing and gaining weight, I wondered if I’d ever break free of my bondage. Through prayer and in complete brokenness, I discovered the power of renewing my mind biblically and how to practice a few simple nutritional principles that eventually became my sustainable lifestyle. I only wish it had not taken me decades to figure out the healthiest way to balance my body, soul, and spirit in a way that honored God and promoted lasting change.

I’m here to share that there is a path to freedom! I’ve experienced lasting weight loss and health for the over 30 years. I am not special. I believe you can realize the same results if you follow our program and commit to changing your habits in God-honoring ways.
