Health behavior scientist, gerontologist and Health/Life Transition Coach helping clients take care of YOU and your WELL-BEING – without the overwhelm.

I’m not a stuff scientist and I don’t lead your typical Zoom coaching sessions. My sessions are highly interactive and guaranteed to get you to “eat, sleep, move, dance and breathe” self-care during real time. I have worked primarily with B2B audiences (conferences, workplaces) and am now offering one-on-one coaching, especially with women (ages 45+) looking to unmask, unmute and unleash themselves on their journey to find true love – that is self-love. “Our first love and last love is self-love” and it all starts with self-care.

My coaching is part of my Byte-Size Wellness Academy, an online self-guided self-coaching program equipped with video-delivered mini-courses, mind-body micro-breaks and downloadable resources to help you take charge of your mental and physical health and make self-care a lifelong habit. 

I embody wellness: yogi (200-hour Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher), mindfulness maven (trained in Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Kristen Neff’s Mindful Self-Compassion), dance diva (salsa, west coast swing), exercise enthusiast and instructor (pole walking, bone fitness, diabetes, chronic disease and older adult exercise).

If you’d like to know more about my academic/professional background, connect with me on LinkedIn or have a read here:

• Ph.D. in Behavioral Science and Health from the University of Toronto where I was an adjunct professor 
• Former National Cancer Institute of Canada postdoctoral fellow
• MS in Exercise and Health Studies (Miami University) 
• Bachelor of Physical Education (University of British Columbia)
• Taught chronic disease exercise classes, worked at renowned hospitals and consulted to pharmaceutical companies and health organizations about the patient disease journey experience
• Professional wellness speaker for the meetings and hospitality industry, human resources, associations and workplaces

My byte-size wellness® approach is the culmination of my 30+ year research career in health and exercise promotion, disease management, aging, addictions and tobacco control. And I am now adding life coaching into the mix!

If you’re struggling with life transitions and time spent taking care of others at the expense of taking care of yourself, let’s talk! 

My coaching will help you fall in love with yourself again and become the person you are truly meant to be.
