To provide a compassionate, listening ear, to be a source of encouragement and knowledge, and above all to foster a supportive partnership in a member’s healing journey to further wellbeing and optimal health.

Ask me about

How an East Coaster suburbanite transitioned to a Kansas-rural homestead milking goats, riding horses, retrieving fresh eggs from a chicken coop, and trying out a mega-size vegetable garden.

Most likely to find me

Hiking around our farm with a parade of dogs; at church; reading a book or praying/meditating on my porch swing; making a new essential oil mixture; doing a Barre or Chalean class on BeachBody; concocting my favorite morning smoothie—that is kid-approved; and above all, enjoying time with my wonderful husband and two adopted kids.
