about me

I’m a Registered Nurse and the founder of Vital & Thrive, a holistic health practice built around a simple belief: there is so much more to our health than what can be measured.

After more than a decade in nursing, I became increasingly interested in what happens beyond the vital signs, medications, diagnoses, and traditional markers of health.

What actually helps us change? Why can we know what’s “good for us” and still feel stuck? And what happens when everything looks fine on paper, but we know something in our lives isn’t working?

Those questions became personal for me.

My own path back to myself began when I stopped drinking. I thought removing alcohol was the change I needed to make. What I discovered was that it gave me the opportunity to see everything underneath it.

I had to learn how to be uncomfortable without escaping it. How to recognize what I actually needed. How to make decisions without constantly looking outside of myself for reassurance. And, little by little, how to trust myself again.

That experience changed the way I understood health and the kind of nurse I wanted to be.

I created Vital & Thrive to offer women a place to explore the parts of their well-being that don't always fit neatly into traditional healthcare.

Through Beyond Vital Signs, I work with women who know something needs to change but aren't sure where to begin. We look at the whole picture: stress, habits, relationships, routines, identity, and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck , and turn that awareness into meaningful, realistic change.

Beyond Sober grew from my own personal path. It’s an extension of this same work for women navigating life without alcohol and discovering that getting sober was only the beginning.

At the heart of all of it is what I learned through my own experience:

Honesty. Action. Self-trust.

Getting honest about what isn't working.
Taking action that honors what you actually need.
And building the kind of self-trust that changes how you live your life.

My goal isn't to tell women who they should become.

It's to help them hear themselves clearly enough to decide.
