My journey to Cognitive Health Coaching, is a combination of my master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology, combined with application of the Amen Elite Brain Health Clinician certification, Institute of Integrative Nutrition Certification, Certified Brain Injury Certification and deep passion to never stop learning about neuro-wellness.
I have a profound passion for using my medical knowledge, experience, and genuine joy of connection to support people in healing and health.
Through my education and career as a Speech-language Pathologist (SLP), while working with patients to increase their independence at home, in the community, and at work I recognized the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The ability to carryover all the medical information and therapy strategies for continued cognitive-linguistic recovery became a challenge to access when other areas of life were less fulfilled.
How could I combine holistic lifestyle with cognitive-linguistic healing to maximize quality of life with my clients?
Cue the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. There I studied a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. What spoke to me the most is that true lifelong changes come from within and we already possess all that we need to achieve them.
The coursework through Amen University, first with the Brain Health Professional program and then the Elite Brain Health Clinician program, has also allowed me to then add in the principles of brain health, the revolution needed for scientific brain health change, SPECT scans, and the neuroscience for brain healing.
