I’ve always been very passionate and curious about other people’s health and well-being. From being at work, hanging out with family or friends, or even strangers I had just met I found myself deeply invested in their well-being and stories. I would find myself asking questions or asking permission to give recommendations. I always knew ever since I was little that I wanted to be a part of someone’s healthcare team I just never knew how, but being in a standard doctor’s office didn’t call my name so I just wrote it off as not meant to be. Fast forward to a trip I took to Tulum Mexico I was sitting on the couch of the hostel I’d been staying at with a new friend of mine. We’d been talking for hours about his dreams and goals when he looked over at me and laughed saying

“You know, you should really be a coach”

Immediately imposter syndrome kicked in and I thought I wasn’t qualified to be coaching anyone… Me? Really? I don’t think so, but as the world tends to work it just kept coming up for me over and over throughout the rest of my time in Mexico. At the end of my trip, I got on a flight to Lima Peru to go and co-host a women’s wellness retreat in the sacred valley of Peru why I didn’t see the connection I’ll never know. Any thoughts of coaching had gotten buried under the new task at hand. My time in Peru was unforgettable I had such an amazing time and came away with the burning desire to start coaching holistically, but the nagging feeling of not being good enough still kept coming up so as I was trying to board a plane to go back to the US. I got on the phone and signed up for a Holistic health coaching certification program and started my journey of being able to show up for people the way I needed when I was struggling with my own health. I set out with the goal of not letting anyone feel alone or unsupported when navigating something as important and confusing as one’s health.
