How do you impact your clients?

I specialize in the unique wellness needs of women over 40. My clients receive fad-free, science-based, customized guidance that encourages optimal cognitive and metabolic health. Your brain is your sexiest feature and most valuable asset no matter your age, and when you’re focusing on your brain, you’re targeting every facet of your wellbeing. I’m a cheerleader for women fully embracing their power in the second chapter with curiosity and genuine joy.

Where do you draw inspiration from?

I’m inspired by every single other woman who’s killing it in her profession. We make a huge mistake when we view other women as competition. It’s a powerful mindset shift when we stop comparing ourselves, and instead use the successes of the people we admire as a roadmap.

What advice do you have for future Power Women?

What radically changed my business for the better was adopting a “Say yes and figure it out” attitude towards opportunity. It meant the hard work of learning to trust myself and let go of fear. These days I’m a firm believer: if it’s at all in your wheelhouse, don’t be limited by the fact that you’ve never done it before; take that risk with heart and the universe will catch you.
