With over 27 years experience as an Orthodontist and running a busy practice, I believe working as a team is important. As a certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, a Certified Breathwork Coach and a Certified HeartMath Practitioner for Stress, Anxiety and Self-regulation, I bring health coaching to a new level.

I majored in microbiology in college and went on to earn my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS) from The University of Maryland School of Dentistry. I then pursued a 3 year residency in Orthodontics at The University of Florida College of Dentistry where I received my certificate in Orthodontics and a Masters of Science Degree in Oral Biology. I opened my own Orthodontic  practice and practiced for 27 years. I loved Orthodontics so much!  After my own personal wellness journey with my son, where conventional medicine wasn’t giving us all of the answers, I discovered functional medicine and began self-studying. This is when I became passionate about lifestyle medicine, using food as medicine and began to really understand what truly contributes to health and wellness. My son’s story is unique and we were fortunate to put him in remission with food and other natural therapies. When it came time to stop practicing orthodontics, I enrolled in the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. I felt so fortunate to be able to study and put to use another great passion of mine and became a functional medicine certified health coach. In addition, I became a certified breathwork coach and a HeartMath Certified Practitioner for stress, resiliency and self-regulation. I believe our breath is our biggest superpower; how you breathe is how you feel and how you feel is how you breathe. With these certifications, I help people manage their nervous system. Management of our nervous system is the foundation for wellness; it's the foundation for the choices we make. Breathwork and the HeartMath techniques have so many health benefits; emotionally, physically and spiritually.

As a Functional Medicine Health Coach and Breathwork Coach, I recognize that each person is unique. I will take the time to understand your specific health concerns, lifestyle, and goals. I won't use a one-size-fits-all approach but will tailor my guidance to you. Through clarity and awareness, you can make sustainable lifestyle choices that will help you feel your best.
