First and foremost, I have been married to Tim for twenty seven years, and we have three wonderful children, Austin, Chase and Myranda. 

My desire to help others has always been a huge part of who I am, however, it was strengthened when I became a mother.  The meaning of caring for family became clearer when I became my father's guardian and lost my mom.  These experiences gave me the insights and real emotions to be put into my first book, "My Mom's Gone, Now What?" 

I owned a spa/salon/fitness center for seven years.  We co-own Level Up Fitness Inc and several other businesses.  These experiences along with over thirty five years of business and marketing experience made the transition into Life Coaching a natural fit. 

I hold a BA in Marketing from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse.  I am a Master Fitness Trainer, specializing in Pilates and Yoga and certifications in Sports Nutrition and Senior Fitness. 

I love working with individuals who are eager to improve their lives.  Most importantly, I am a student of life.  I utilize what life has taught me to help others. 

​

My greatest life's work is the Rise Up 21 day lifestyle improvement program.  It is Virtual and I focus on Mindsets, Movement & Nutrition!  It is a one of a kind complete journey to making your Life a Masterpiece and making powerful connections...mind, heart & body.  I will help you be your owb best friend.

​

I have worked extremely hard to reduce my cholesterol, become physically fit, study and educate myself in the field of fitness and nutrition and learn how to incorporate positive relationships into my life.  My family is what inspires my daily actions and choices.  Through living a healthy, conscious lifestyle, I have found that "being" is better than "doing", laughing in the moment and being present is essential, and living with peace and joy is far better than self-doubt, guilt, remorse and regret.
