As someone with a number of chronic health conditions, I have a very clinical relationship with my body, one that anyone with a chronic health condition can relate to. I constantly heed its demands and wishes, and built a life where that is a central effort. Through that vigilance I forgot—and it’s ever so easy to do in today’s world—the wisdom the body has to intimately teach you that can then be shared by and with those you love. It was this realization that brought me to founding GRIT+GRACE—and hopefully to meeting you!

While I can’t necessarily make life with a chronic health condition easier, my hope is to make it better by sharing my experiences with you, those learned academically studying health behavior change, positive psychology, and where technology might be able to help; professionally, as a business and leadership consultant versed equally in entrepreneurship and corporate worlds; and healthfully as a budding athlete, fitness coach, and student of movement and nutrition.

I look forward to partnering and serving you with all my heart.
