ABOUT

My passion for preventive care is one I’ve fostered my entire life.  Health Coaching allows me to integrate over 30 years of experience as a results driven marketer, motivating individuals and teams, and working with diverse challenges.  My desire to reinvent myself in the medical field led me to discover the burgeoning field of Health Coaching.  It combines my talents as a gifted public speaker and leader, to motivate individuals to be their best. I am a published author, motivational public speaker for living with vitality and founder of my private health coaching business, The Fountain of Proof. 

​

The Fountain of Proof is an outcome of my experience with aging (I’m over 50), and searching for answers to my own questions about my wellness journey and menopause.  The people I turned to, the answers I wasn’t getting, and the experts that actually did help with one area of my needs but not all, forced me to find the answers on my own. I’ve found some great resources that actually give easy to understand answers, and recommend solutions.  I also believe that understanding information collectively, taking a more holistic look at what one is trying to tackle, is important.  Not just a tidbit of information as the answer.  Isolating the root cause and truly preventing the start, or return, of disease.

​​

I've recently added a menopause certification to my credentials, to help my clients through menopause. Women deal with over 100 symptoms of menopause, most not realizing what they are experiencing is related to the hormonal shifts their bodies are going through. They also don't realize they do not have to suffer.  Menopause is having a moment and my generation is not standing for the usual response from our Dr.'s, "It's just the change of life, and this is normal.  You'll just have to get through it".  There is amazing research, some amazing Dr.'s and other industry experts that are leading the effort to enlighten this particular generation of women, and beyond to demystify menopause, and our next phase of life.  I spend countless hours listening to podcasts, procuring certifications and studying all they are sharing. I'm doing the work so I can share with my clients, to guide and direct them through this phase of life. 

​

While this is my business site, it is also a place to compile and share great information, favorite websites I visit daily, my favorite reads, and of course my point of view on the basics of aging well via blog posts.  You will see my favorite reads, and my favorite websites, and where I’ve learned how all of this information intersects.  I would love for you to share your favorites with me, as well. I’m happy to add them to my list.

I hope you find this information helpful and at the very least you walk away with simple strategies to make changes to live your life with vitality!
