I’m a Surf City local with a passion for wellness, adventure, and embracing life’s playful moments. My motto? Putting the fun into wellness! Being outdoors in nature takes health to a whole new level—opening creative pathways, inspiring forward thinking, and making movement feel like pure joy.

With over 20 years as a clinical pharmacist and diabetes educator, I’ve helped countless people navigate their health journeys. But true well-being isn’t just about what happens inside a clinic—it’s about how we move, nourish, and care for ourselves every day. That’s why, as a Nationally Certified Health Coach and NASM Certified Personal Trainer, I bring wellness beyond four walls and into the beauty of the great outdoors.

Through my Health and Happiness Tours, I blend healthy eating concepts, fun fitness, and self-care into every experience—because moving your body, nourishing your soul, and caring for yourself should feel like an adventure, not a chore. This is a show-and-tell of what happy and healthy looks like! And as a true mermaid at heart, I’m here to help you dive into the waves of wellness and make lasting, positive lifestyle changes!
