About Me

Welcome to Navigated Wellness!

With over 10 years of experience in health education, I hold multiple accredited certifications, including National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES®). I earned a specialized undergraduate degree (BSHS) in Health Coaching and Human Performance, along with a Master of Science (MS) in Health Education and Behavior from the University of Florida.

Building on this strong educational foundation, I completed professional training under a naturopathic doctor, sharpening my expertise in holistic, root-cause health strategies. I specialize in uncovering and addressing the underlying causes of inflammation and weight gain—factors commonly linked to chronic illness and disease.

I am skilled in guiding sustainable lifestyle changes through evidence-based behavior modification techniques, as well as offering personalized dietary guidance and weight-loss supplementation strategies when appropriate.

Having overcome my own health challenges, I discovered profound healing through natural remedies and the five foundational pillars of optimal living: proper nutrition, physical activity, stress reduction, sleep restoration, and mindfulness. This personal journey sparked my deep passion for supporting others on their path to wellness.

Ultimately, my mission as a health and wellness professional is to empower individuals with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to prioritize their well-being and thrive in every aspect of life. I take great pride in forming authentic connections built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect.
