Founder, Ascend Vitality Health & Wellness Life Coaching

Before the age of 40, I had only run more than a mile twice in my life. I was stuck in unhealthy cycles, both physically and emotionally, and it took a serious health scare — a seizure from low blood sugar just before the birth of my youngest daughter — to force me to change. That moment became the catalyst for a complete transformation.

I committed to rebuilding my health from the ground up. As a Type 1 diabetic, I knew I had to take control of my body and my habits — and I did. Since then, I’ve completed 5 triathlons, over 10 half marathons, and the LBI 18-Miler, a race I once believed was far beyond my reach. I’ve also taken on intense personal development challenges like 75 Hard, building not just a stronger body, but a stronger mindset and lifestyle.

I founded Ascend Vitality to help others do the same — to rise from where they are to where they want to be, using structure, discipline, and support to build a life they’re proud of. Whether you’re battling chronic illness, stuck in a rut, or just ready to level up, I’m here to help you show up — every day — as your best self.
