My journey to becoming a health coach started in 2012 when I noticed how my health was being affected by my dietary and lifestyle choices. At the time, I was a bit lost and overwhelmed with the amount of information that seemed contradictory in providing answers that would improve my health and wellbeing. In addition to making lifestyle changes, studying the latest research and adopting a whole food plant-based diet, I have dramatically changed my health for the better.

As a certified plant-based coach, I will help you adopt a plant-based diet and help you make healthier, more sustainable choices. With a passion for plant-based living, I provide guidance and support to help you achieve your optimal health and wellness goals.

I am a board-certified cardiologist and health coach with over 25 years of experience caring for people with heart disease. After working for many years to diagnose and treat heart disease, I now focus on prevention. I practice Integrative Cardiology in person at my Monument, Colorado clinic and through telehealth in several states. I employ the latest advanced lab testing and diagnostic imaging to formulate an assessment of the client’s cardiac risk. Then, I use those findings to create a personalized plan using the Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, which includes a whole-food, plant-based diet, to help people achieve holistic health. I am passionate about helping people prevent and reverse heart disease so they can enjoy a long, fulfilling life in good health.

I practiced primary care and emergency medicine as a PA for over 30 years. It became progressively disheartening to see the growing emphasis on use of prescription drugs for almost every issue. While these medications are beneficial when used appropriately, many patients have forgotten about their own ability to optimally care for their bodies through healthy diet and lifestyle choices, which can frequently prevent the need for drugs. Enjoying a Whole-Food Plant-Based (WFPB) diet for several years has improved my life in every way and I relish preparing and eating food more than ever before. I want the same for all patients who hope for a better life and desire this knowledge. I now use my NC Medical Board license to empower patients to achieve their own health goals through coaching and, if desired, adjunctive therapy with professional clinical hypnosis. I help individuals struggling with health issues and/or barriers to self-care discover new paths to healing and wholeness through positive, supportive, and nonjudgmental guidance.

I am an RN specializing in holistic home care and passionate about plant-based nutrition for optimal health.
