I'm an experienced well-being professional creating and delivering programs and services that help people reach and maintain a higher level of thriving. My work in clinical, corporate, startup, education, and self-employed settings has equipped me with a diverse understanding of challenges to employee and organizational well-being as well as effective solutions.Nothing is more rewarding for me than having a hand in helping people move from suffering — or just getting by — to thriving. As a well-being coach, educator, and program/product creator, my passion for health and well-being extends to the planet and all its inhabitants. Some of my favorite projects have focused on connecting people with nature to foster thriving for both.I bring the following strengths and value to every project I work on:- Prioritizing positive coworker relationships; getting to know the people I work with- Combining a strong applied science orientation with the heart of a teacher and a strong sense of curiosity- Using evidence-based coaching strategies to help people make lasting changes of their choosing - Making actionable connections between ideas, research, programs/products, practice and possibilities- Quickly assessing ways to make programs, products, and processes better- An insatiable love of learning that keeps me current with well-being research and marketplace trends- A roll-up-my-sleeves readiness to dig in and get things done.My family and I love hiking around the Pacific Northwest, exploring national parks, reading, and making music and art.If we share a common interest, or if you need professional expertise for a project, please reach out.
