Experience

Experience Highlight

​

A Decade of Integrative Care

For over a decade, I served as a professional Integrative Medicine caregiver at the Providence St. Joseph’s Disney Family Cancer Center, offering therapeutic arts, music, and stress reduction for patients, caregivers, and ostomates. My work included one-on-one support, group sessions, and creative programs designed to bring comfort, hope, and peace in challenging times. I also contributed to the Thrivorship Program through marketing, design, and retreat-workshop concepts, creating resources that made healing more accessible and welcoming. This experience continues to inspire the Catholic relaxation and creativity-based services I now offer today.

My Approach

I work with the whole person — body, heart, mind, and soul. In coaching, we focus on where you are right now and where Christ may be calling you to grow. This is a compassionate, collaborative process where you remain in the driver’s seat, and I walk alongside you—helping you uncover your gifts, navigate challenges, and take meaningful steps forward.

To support this journey, I invite the guidance of the Holy Spirit, weaving in calming music, gentle relaxation practices, and reflective prayer. These create space to quiet the noise, release tension, and reconnect more deeply with Jesus in daily life.

​

​

​

​

Guided by Catholic faith, I honor the dignity of every person as a child of God. I cherish family, respect life, and see music, art, and prayer as gifts that draw us closer to Him. Above all, I trust in God’s grace, knowing He brings peace, renewal, and joy even in life’s challenges.

My Values

If you feel drawn to this approach and would like support navigating your current season of life, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
