WHO AM I? I am a Registered Nurse and Certified OPTAVIA Coach. My specialty in nursing is in Critical Care and Emergency Medicine. As a critical care nurse, I spent 48-72 hours a week working with other nurses and physicians to keep patients alive. Many of them were suffering from the ravages of obesity-induced diseases. I didn't eat well because I didn't want to stop and take time to eat. I wasn't thin by any means, but I was relatively healthy in a non-sick sort of way. I ended up injuring myself after moving a 650-pound patient. I damaged 3 disks in my back and, from there, went on a downhill spiral of gaining close to 190 pounds in less than 2 years due to lack of sleep caused by pain and self-medicating with food, thinking it was going to make me feel better. My reality was I had become the exact kind of person I had taken care of in the intensive care unit. My cholesterol was through the roof. I was pre-diabetic. I was a heart attack waiting to happen! I went on the program and successfully lost weight and changed my health. More importantly, a passion for assisting others in achieving optimal health was born. I want to change my client's perspective on health and illness. I want them to understand they do not need to continually put out the health fires in their lives caused by obesity-related illnesses. There is a better way to live. They can prevent fires and illnesses by making healthy lifestyle choices. WHAT DO I DO AS A COACH? Assist people in reaching personal health goals.
