Helping You Heal from the Inside Out

After surviving a heart attack, everyone tells you what to do: eat better, move more, reduce stress. But what if you’re still reeling from the fear, anxiousness, and overwhelm, and unsure where to start?

That’s where I come in.

I help people navigate the emotional and physical aftermath of a cardiac event—so they can rebuild their strength, restore their energy, and feel safe and confident in their bodies again.

At the heart of my work is this belief: sustainable lifestyle change isn’t possible until you feel emotionally safe and supported. 

Together, we focus on calming your nervous system, easing anxiety, and re-establishing trust in your body before tackling the “what to do” list. 

This is what sets my coaching apart—and it’s what makes change feel possible again.

Through personalized 1:1 coaching, I meet you exactly where you are. We take gentle, manageable steps forward, grounded in compassion and backed by science, so you can move from fear to confidence, from surviving to thriving.

Before founding Wingspan Wellness, I spent 13 years as a cardiac rehab exercise specialist, supporting hundreds of patients through recovery from heart attacks, surgeries, and major cardiac events. I’ve walked beside people in their most vulnerable moments, and I’ve seen how often emotional healing is overlooked.

That experience is what drives my mission today: to provide the emotional support, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle coaching that so many survivors never receive—but absolutely need to heal fully.

With 25+ years in health, science, and education, I combine clinical insight with whole-person care, rooted in compassion and collaboration.
