Professional Profile

Health educator, curriculum developer, author, and mind-body practitioner with more than three decades of professional experience in natural health and integrative approaches to well-being. My work bridges health science, mind-body medicine, nutrition, guided imagery, trauma-informed approaches, and personal resilience.

I have developed and taught professional and public health curricula, worked with more than 2,000 clients and students, taught continuing-education courses through OLLI/UNLV, and served as a professor of naturopathy and health-related subjects.

My particular interest is translating complex ideas into practical, understandable approaches that help people become active participants in their own health and well-being.
