About Us

At Conscious Coaching, we help high-achieving women break the cycle of stress, burnout, and weight struggles — especially the midsection weight gain driven by chronically elevated cortisol.

Most of our clients aren’t lacking willpower. They’re overwhelmed, overextended, and carrying the mental load of everyone around them. Traditional “diet rules” fail them because the root issue isn’t food — it’s stress physiology.

Our approach combines:
• Simple, cortisol-friendly lifestyle strategies
• Healthy eating habits that are realistic for busy women
• Tools for emotional regulation, stress management, and mindset
• Accountability that fits your real life

We understand women who are always the strong one, the caretaker, the leader. We know you don’t want another diet — you want a method that works, honors your body, and helps you win this battle for the long-term.

If you’re ready for clarity, science-based support, and a plan that finally makes sense, I invite you to schedule a complimentary discovery call.

How We Got Started

I lost 40 lbs, and thought I had finally “made it.”
Not so fast.

That win pulled me straight into an eating disorder and five years of absolute misery. When I finally found my way out, it wasn’t because of one diet or one program… it was because I rebuilt my life with tools rooted in self-development, fitness, mental wellness, and holistic practices.

I kept the weight off for over 20 years, healed my relationship with food, and created the foundation that would eventually become my work today.

I began training, coaching, and teaching other women how to break out of the same cycle — and that’s how my coaching practice was born. I went on to write Coming Out of the Cave and have spent the last two decades helping women create peace with food, confidence in their bodies, and a healthier relationship with themselves.

Today, I specialize in cortisol, stress recovery, and stubborn midsection weight, giving women the science, the strategy, and the support they’ve been missing.

(more) Mindset is critical. Losing a job can be scary. It can quickly deflate self-esteem, and can cause mounting anxiety. Staying positive and hopeful in the face of uncertainty is tricky, and connecting with supportive friends and professionals is a good move. You can go into a flurry of activity pounding the pavement and sending out tons of resumes, but this can wear you out quickly. Get strategic about your job search and don't fall into the trap of becoming desperate and therefore irrational. Get your money affairs in place. Whether it's unemployment, a tide-me-over loan from friends or family, or drawing on savings. Figure out what needs to happen there first so you can sustain yourself. Set up a free job search breakthrough session with me and I'll give you tips for how to get into alignment with your next, right-for-you position.

If anyone is having difficulty covering expenses and is willing to pivot into solution mode, I may be able to help.  I pivoted also and have discovered new ways of working that work well with my schedule. I've been able to keep my dance studio of 11 years open and cover the bills.  (more) If anyone is having difficulty covering expenses and is willing to pivot into solution mode, I may be able to help.  I pivoted also and have discovered new ways of working that work well with my schedule.
