I'm an independent OPTAVIA Coach. Here is my story:

I am a Nurse Practitioner, specializing in cardiology since 2014 and coaching with OPTAVIA since 2020. I know what it feels like to be overweight, I am well versed in the health conditions associated with obesity, and I fully understand the difficulty of losing weight. I struggled to lose 30 lbs on my own and was able to keep it off by making healthy lifestyle changes, but I dreamed of a more supportive and evidence-based method to offer my patients, family, and friends. I was so happy to find the Habits of Health Transformational System and have never seen a weight loss and lifestyle program work so well for so many! It is my passion to help people achieve their healthy weight, which we know also leads to improvement in blood pressure, cholesterol, and Type 2 diabetes. While following this system myself, I've created a much healthier mindset, I feel healthier than I ever have, and I'd be honored to help you feel the same. We can do this!

*2019 clinical study where participants who had the support of a coach lost up to 10x more weight* than the self-directed group. Based on the results of a 16-week clinical study, those who participated in at least 75% of their 23 assigned OPTAVIA coaching calls lost 15.2 lbs. compared to 6.7 pounds for those participating in fewer calls.
