At 36 years old I was at the epitome of my career, as a consultant for HP, when I dealt with a health crisis and had the realization there was so much more to life.  Spending 25 years at GM then EDS then HP, moving my way up from operations management to consulting,  I finally traded in my briefcase for bandages (ace bandages to be specific), purchasing a Wellness Spa, specializing in detoxification offering Far Infrared Sauna Therapy, Vibration Therapy, and Mineral Body Wraps.  Featured in more than a dozen articles and international magazines, and touted as an industry expert, I have been hired to train other spas on Mineral Body Wraps and detoxification methods. 

Through my journey of learning and practicing detoxification methods I began coaching thousands of women and found my passion as a teacher and speaker, prompting me to pursue training as a coach.  Along the way I developed a natural skin care line, created a detox program called Glow Natural, was a contributing author to 2 books, and became a teacher for CE credit on the topic of  detoxification.  Add to that list that I started a magazine, started teaching cooking classes, co-founded and helped launch a commercial kitchen and cooking school, learned how to develop food products, and became passionate about my Kid's Cooking Program at Freedom Kitchen.

I have a personal mission to set people free by empowering them to find what works for them.  Freedom Kitchen focuses on personal freedom, food freedom, and I find myself helping emerging food brands.  If we have a conversation it will most likely revolve around business or food - my two passions.  Business development, consulting, and coaching are in my zone of genius and my experience in both Corporate America and in small business ownership give me a unique perspective.  We are either growing or dying...  I choose to continue growing!  A student for life, I thrive on continuous evolution which we need more of in today's world.
