My Training

I received my training as a Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition’s cutting-edge Health Coach Training Program from October 2011 through October 2012. I am certified as a Holistic Health Coach through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).

During my training, I studied over 100 dietary theories, practical lifestyle management techniques, and innovative coaching methods with some of the world’s top health and wellness experts. My teachers included Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine; Dr. Deepak Chopra, leader in the field of mind-body medicine; Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center; Dr. Walter Willett, Chair of Nutrition at Harvard University; Geneen Roth, bestselling author and expert on emotional eating; and many other leading researchers and nutrition authorities.

In addition to my education with IIN, I have also worked within the health and medical industry assisting in patient-centered care. I am currently a weight-loss coach with VitaLife Sioux Falls as well, specializing in helping clients drop 20 pounds quickly and healthily.

My education and experience over the last 8 years has equipped me with extensive knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and preventive health. Drawing on these skills and my knowledge of different dietary theories, I work with clients to help them make lifestyle changes that produce real and lasting results.
