• Know Your Why

• Know Your Baseline

• Small Conscious Action

• Self-Awareness

• Establishing a daily meditation habit that’s lasted for 6+ years;

• Ditching gluten and overhauling my food choices;

• Adding regular movement, including strength training; and

• Improving my sleep, which has had a cascade of effects on my focus, performance, and overall happiness.

My clients have made change too. Collectively I have helped them change their eating, food prep, sleep, alcohol consumption, exercise, meditation and mindfulness habits and also the way they approach and prioritize their work and families.
