For more than twenty years, I've explored the intersection of holistic health, nutrition, movement, human behavior, and the nervous system. My path has moved through entrepreneurship, fitness and nutrition coaching, counseling, and somatic work, but the thread running through it all has remained remarkably consistent: I've always been drawn to the deeper questions of what shapes how we live, relate, and experience ourselves—and what our everyday patterns reveal about the nervous systems, relationships, and histories beneath them.

That curiosity eventually led me to my first Somatic Experiencing® session, which fundamentally changed how I understood myself. For the first time, I wasn't trying to think my way through my experience or override my body’s signals in pursuit of productivity. I began to discover how lasting change happens through the body, in relationship, and through having new experiences that challenged what I thought was possible.

Today, I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in military and veteran populations. As a veteran spouse, this work is personal as much as it is professional. I've built a life and a family alongside that transition, and I understand its ripple effects up close. Through Airmid Wellness, I work with individuals and couples outside the clinical setting, integrating nervous system science, somatic practice, nutritional wellness, relational work, and the complexity of being human.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: most of the struggles people carry are the body's way of making sense of hard things: loss, chronic stress, needs that went unmet for too long. They're not signs of brokenness or personal failure. Anxiety, shutdown, hypervigilance, people-pleasing, numbness—these are patterns your body and mind learned, often for very good reasons, at a time when they helped you get through something difficult. Although these patterns made sense once, when they no longer fit the life we're living, we have the opportunity to create something new.

The goal isn't to eliminate discomfort or become someone else. It's to build the capacity to stay connected to yourself and the people you love, even when life gets hard. Growth isn't something we figure out. It's something we practice.

That's the work I'm most passionate about now: walking alongside people through life's biggest transitions and the hardest seasons in their relationships, reflecting what's true instead of what's comfortable, and helping them gently reshape the stories they carry about themselves and what's possible. 

The moment I live for in this work is hearing a client say, “I feel more alive.”

Not fixed. Not different. Alive. Present enough to fully participate in their own life, their relationships, and their growth. 

I'm so glad our paths have crossed.
