I help women reconnect with their bodies, rebuild confidence, and create a path forward through thoughtful conversations, evidence-based wellness practices, and personalized support.

Welcome to my website.
I'm so glad you are here!
For more than 30 years, I’ve worked in physical rehabilitation, helping people navigate recovery, change, and the process of finding their way forward. For the past 16 years, much of that work has been alongside women and men recovering from cancer.
During those years, I’ve celebrated milestones, witnessed remarkable resilience, and listened closely to what people experience after treatment ends. Again and again, I’ve heard a version of the same question: “Why don’t I feel like myself yet?”
Medical treatment may be complete, but recovery often continues in ways that aren’t as easily seen or measured. Fatigue, changes in the body, uncertainty, stress, and a loss of confidence can linger long after the appointments become less frequent.
That’s where my work as a wellness coach begins.
I help people make sense of this next stage of recovery, reconnect with their bodies and themselves, and discover what living well can look like now.
Still Wondering If What You're Feeling Is Normal?
Treatment is over, but you may still have questions no one prepared you for.
-
Why am I still so tired?
-
Why don't I feel like myself anymore?
-
Why am I afraid to move?
-
Why do I still have swelling?
-
Why do I feel so alone now that treatment is over?
If you've asked yourself any of these questions, you're not alone.
I've created a complimentary guide, Is What I Am Feeling Normal? 10 Signs Your Recovery May Need More Support, to help you explore common experiences after cancer treatment and discover gentle, practical first steps.
A little understanding can be the beginning of meaningful change.

Recovery is personal. There is no single timeline, and you don't have to figure everything out at once.
A Personalized Path Forward
The VIBRANT Recovery Roadmap Method offers a supportive space to explore where you are today, reconnect with what matters most, and begin creating a meaningful path forward.
Your Recovery. Your Roadmap.
VIBRANT is a personalized, 12-week wellness coaching program designed for individuals navigating life after cancer treatment.
Together, we explore seven interconnected areas of well-being, helping you develop greater awareness, establish sustainable habits, and reconnect with your confidence and sense of self.
This isn't about pushing yourself to get back to who you were before cancer.
It's about discovering what living well means to you now.
The Seven Elements of VIBRANT
V — Validate + Vision
Your experience matters. We begin by acknowledging where you are today and exploring what you want for your life moving forward.
I — Inventory + Insight
We look at your current routines, challenges, strengths, and resources to better understand what supports your well-being and where you may want to make changes.
B — Breathe + Balance
We explore gentle practices that support relaxation, body awareness, and a healthier balance between activity, rest, and everyday responsibilities.
R — Restore Flow
We explore lymphatic wellness education, comfortable movement, and simple self-care habits appropriate to your individual needs and medical guidance.
A — Activate Strength
We focus on recognizing your capabilities, building confidence, and taking manageable steps toward activities that matter to you.
N — Nourish Identity
Cancer may have changed aspects of your life, but it does not define all of who you are. We create space to reconnect with your values, interests, relationships, and sense of self.
T — Thrive Forward
We bring everything together into a personalized wellness plan that supports your continued growth beyond our time together.
What Your 12-Week Journey Looks Like
Your coaching journey unfolds in four interconnected phases.
Weeks 1–3: Discover & Understand
Explore your experiences, priorities, personal vision, and current wellness habits.
Weeks 4–7: Restore & Reconnect

Weeks 8–10: Rebuild & Rediscover
Reconnect with your personal strengths, confidence, meaningful activities, and identity.
Weeks 11–12: Thrive Forward

These phases provide direction, not deadlines.
Your journey is guided by your priorities, and we adapt our conversations and goals to what matters most to you.
What Can You Expect from Coaching?
Our work together is collaborative, supportive, and centered on you.

You don't need to arrive with a clear plan or know exactly what you want to change.
We begin wherever you are.
Is VIBRANT Right for You?
This program may resonate with you if you've completed cancer treatment and:

A Thoughtful Approach to Your Well-Being
VIBRANT is informed by my more than 30 years of rehabilitation experience, including 16 years specializing in oncology rehabilitation and lymphatic health.
As an occupational therapist, certified lymphedema therapist, and certified wellness coach, I bring both clinical knowledge and a coaching perspective to our conversations.
My role is not to tell you what your recovery should look like.
It is to help you discover what supports you, recognize your own strengths, and make informed choices that align with your values and goals.
Wellness coaching complements medical care.
VIBRANT does not replace medical treatment, rehabilitation, mental health care, or individualized clinical assessment. Medical concerns and new or worsening symptoms should be discussed with your healthcare team.
Let's Begin with a Conversation
You don't need to commit to a 12-week program to explore whether coaching might be right for you.
I invite you to schedule a complimentary Recovery Conversation.
We'll talk about where you are today, what you're hoping for, and whether the VIBRANT Recovery Roadmap Method feels like a meaningful fit.
There is no pressure and no obligation.
Just a space to begin.

Recovery doesn't end when treatment ends - and you don't have to navigate it alone.
