My Training
With more than 30 years as a clinical social worker, I have integrated my certifications as a Master Wellness Coach, Mind-Body Eating Coach, Stress Management Coach, Sleep Science Coach and EFT Practitioner into a unique approach helping stressed out, exhausted women and men recharge, rejuvenate and reclaim their health and wellbeing. In my coaching practice I address chronic stress, inflammation, sleep challenges, yo-yo dieting, weight loss and digestion.
My work in the Jewish community is central to the scope of my specialty practice today in working with clergy and congregational administrators. It includes: 11 years as executive director of Congregation Beth Evergreen; executive director of the Jewish Senior Recreation Network; and I was a founding member of the progressive Chevra Kaddisha in Boulder, CO. I was a co-founder and coordinator of CEDAR (Congregational Executive Directors and Administrators in Reconstructionism) and am a graduate of the Colorado Nonprofit Leadership and Management Program through Community Resource Center.

My Personal Story
I was a yo yo dieter, beginning at age 15 when I attended my first official weight loss program. I tried them all. I am five sizes smaller today than at my heaviest and have maintained this weight for many years. Today, I no longer go on and off diets; I don't love or hate myself because of the number on the scale (I actually ditched the scale entirely); I eat foods that are live, nourishing and satisfying; and I've learned to slow down with food and in my life. I believe that meditation and visualization are powerful tools to lower stress and create a focus on where I want my life to be. Today my personal and professional emphasis is on health, wellness and living fully. I believe that stress is the root cause of many of today's physical challenges and stress management is a major component of the work I do. My passions include: the mountains and the beach, meditation (I am committed to a daily practice), dance (Nia), yoga, boxing (for fitness), walking in nature, reading, and spending time with friends. I live with my husband Jim near Vail, Colorado. And...I am a new nana to a beautiful baby girl!
