Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I decided to pursue a career in medicine to help others. I wanted to help others attain a higher level of health and wellness by providing information on prevention and education. My goal is to model those behaviors and to share how to enjoy improved health everyday.

What I want my patients to know about me:

I started teaching exercise classes in 1981 to earn money to go to nursing school. I have been a certified yoga instructor since 1985 and a certified Pilates instructor since 2000. I recently became certified as a health coach with the National Society of Health Coaches. My specialty certification is in Obesity and Weight Management, CSOWM

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

My spare time is spent with my family and enjoying the outdoors. I enjoy walking the dog and watching wildlife in my yard. I teach yoga classes, Tai Chi classes and Pilates classes, and do weight lifting.
