I was practicing as a health coach before I even knew what a health coach was.  In 2016, my husband was diagnosed with heart failure. We had to greatly change his diet - which I was put in charge of doing.  I was able to get him down to 1,500 mg of sodium (one serving of canned soup can easily reach half of that). We both changed our diets and his heart and blood pressure improved.

In 1997, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  This started my change in eating habits since I had my thyroid removed.  If you listen to myths about underactive thyroid, as I did, it makes you gain weight. - which I did not want to happen.

Since then, I have completed my degree in Wellness and Health Promotion and became an ACE certified health coach.
