My Maven Superpower is …
Empowerment. I love working with women to help them take charge of their health and their lives.
Best book I’ve read lately is …
“An Elegant Defense.” It’s all about our immune system. Written by a journalist, it’s a very easy read.
Self-care habit I swear by …
Early morning walks. I need time either alone or with a few friends in nature.
My first job was …
Fast food! And I ate A LOT of it!
The best career advice I can offer is …
Don’t look at others to validate your success. We all have our own paths.
A purchase I’ve been loving lately is …
Ultima Replenisher Electrolytes. I’m always in the market for electrolytes that deliver without tasting too sweet.
I feel most confident when …
My body is strong.
My favorite local restaurant dish is …
Sticky Toffee Pudding at Late Harvest. Because you have to splurge sometimes…
The thing I’ve been binging lately is …
Lessons in Chemistry. It was a great book too!
A fun fact about me is …
I recently took up crocheting again…it’s a bit ‘old school’ but a wonderful stress reliever.
A Maven you should know is …
Carissa Hawkins.
My favorite nonprofit to support is …
Big Brothers Big Sisters. I was on their board for several years and was a Big Sister too.
What have you achieved recently that you’d like to celebrate with our community?
I just finished a comprehensive series of classes that allow me to work with the *hardest* clients. Think autoimmune, mold issues, brain health.
What’s next for you? What can we expect to see over the next few years?
I will continue to build my 1:1 practice and will add a group program for perimenopausal women in the next year.
