About Me

I have loved science for as long as I can remember, particularly biology. Growing up, I wanted to be either a veterinarian or a medical doctor so that I could use biology to help others. In college, I realized I wanted to not only help others but also satisfy my investigative drive, and that drive pushed me to become a biologist.

My values of objective analysis, responsibility, concern-for-others, and achievement are greatly tied to feeling fulfilled in my job and career. However, after 12 years of laboratory research and 7 years as a clinical research professional, I felt a need to focus more on my value of concern-for-others. Also, my personal experience with various health issues led me to adopt an integrative health lifestyle that has helped me significantly. In addition to the conventional health care I receive, I reap the benefits of Reiki, essential oils, lymphatic drainage massage, mindfulness practice, acupressure, and Qigong. By having had this experience, I want to help others become aware of the conventional and complementary approaches available for creating a healthy lifestyle as well as motivate them to sustain that lifestyle. It was time for change, and change led me to a career in integrative healthcare and starting my business, My Wealth in Health.

My Wealth in Health helps you achieve your vision of optimal health through discovering self-care methods that fit your values and needs. By doing so, we will be able to increase the quality of our lives to the fullest!
