My Background

 
Hello there! I'm so glad you're here! 

Life Abundant Wellness was born out of much prayer and faith in 2022, but the story really began in 2014. After several years of learning through my own healing journey (read more about that here), and also being blessed to help friends and family in theirs, I could see the desperate need for improved access to holistic health options in my community. In 2021 the Lord began calling me away from my 20 year career in the Western healthcare model to step out in faith to open a business focused on true wellness and healing that is possible through Him. I jumped into training to become a Certified Aromatherapy Coach and a Licensed Spiritual Health Coach, and opened my own aromatherapy and holistic wellness business beside my home in June 2022! 

I am so excited to help you with your wellness and life goals!  As a Certified Aromatherapy Coach, I am passionate about teaching my clients how to listen to their bodies so they can understand what their body may be telling them. I also provide education on essential oils and custom blending based on each client’s individual needs and goals, specializing in detoxification, pain and stress management, and quality of life enhancement. 

I firmly believe that God is the source of all healing, and that He designed our bodies to heal when given the opportunity and support they need. As a Licensed Spiritual Health Coach, I am able to guide and assist you in seeking healing of your body, mind, and spirit by connecting to the Source of all healing. As a licensed Speech Language Pathologist, I am able to also address speech, language, swallowing, and cognitive-communication disorders in private speech therapy practice.

Mission Statement
My primary mission is to coach, educate, guide, and empower my clients to take control of their own life and to take full responsibility for their own health, wellness, and nutrition by using tools and techniques they will learn from me, other teachers, and resources, but ultimately being the deciding voice for their own needs.

My secondary mission is to educate, guide, coach, and facilitate learning for individuals and families on holistic health topics and community resources, including helping them to feel empowered to make choices and feel confident in their abilities towards self-healing and achieving their personal wellness goals.

My third mission is to provide a safe healing space where faith, community, collaboration, mindfulness, and modalities such as Raindrop, Vitaflex, and spiritual healing techniques can be practiced, utilized and experienced.

My fourth mission is to assess, counsel, educate, and provide interventions for my clients with speech, language, swallowing, and cognitive-communication disorders for the purpose of assessing, preventing, treating, ameliorating or modifying such disorders and conditions, and to empower my clients and their support system to help them achieve their personal health and wellness goals within my scope of practice.
 
My spiritual mission is to empower my clients who want to seek Divine help in all aspects of their life through direct communion with the Divine.
Professional Standard of Care
As the sole proprietor of Life Abundant Wellness, I act as a holistic health coach and educator, focusing on empowering each client towards their own health, emotional, and spiritual goals. For many, I act as a mentor, creating a relationship built on trust and knowledge. I do this on a person-centered approach, depending on the need(s) of each client.

Some clients know what they want and just need direction or guidance into how to get quality products. For them, I can offer connections and resources to their own discount system.

Some may like more assistance. For these clients, I can demonstrate, educate, and mentor them to help them make their own choices.

Some may wish to focus on specific services, such as stress reduction (Aromatherapy breath work), emotional clearing, alignment (Raindrop Technique), or vitality (Vitaflex Technique), and I can facilitate a specific session based on my training and certifications.

As my clients move through the process, I am there with them, offering my services, but also willing to step back and be a support and encouragement for them wherever they may be.

If a client presents a symptom or condition beyond the scope of my practice, I will refer them to an appropriate licensed and/or certified professional. This may include a naturopath, chiropractor, veterinarian, massage therapist, functional medicine doctor, craniosacral therapist, physical therapist, or counselor.

My Practice
My Role

My role is to empower you to make your own decisions when it comes to your health. I do this through coaching, demonstrating, educating, encouraging, mentoring, and training you to think, learn, reflect, and take action.

Nothing that we discuss is a command or requirement, because the choice is ultimately up to you. I believe that you will love the experience and personal growth you can achieve by taking charge of your own health. However, the decision to make a change is yours and yours alone. I simply encourage you, educate you, pray for you, and cheer you on.

My Scope of Practice

As a Certified Aromatherapy Coach, I am able to help you manage your stress. Managing your stress caused by medical conditions, diseases, disorders, medications, pharmaceutical drugs and unresolved emotional issues and wrongful thinking helps your body heal itself.

As a Certified Aromatherapy Coach, I am able to help you manage your pain. Managing your pain caused by medical conditions, diseases, disorders, medications, pharmaceutical drugs and unresolved emotional issues and wrongful thinking helps your body heal itself.

As a Certified Aromatherapy Coach, I am able to help you identify and replace the harmful items you use in your home with plant-based and natural alternatives. Reducing the toxic chemical exposure in your home and replacing those sources with safer alternatives helps your body avoid further harm and heal itself.

As a Certified Aromatherapy Coach, I am able to help you work through goals and limiting beliefs, improve your mood, emotions, performance, and quality of life. Because your thoughts and emotions are proven to affect all the cells of your body, facilitating your best physical states of being spiritually, emotionally, and physically helps your body heal itself.

As a Licensed Spiritual Health Coach, I am able to guide and assist you in seeking healing of your body, mind, and spirit by connecting to the Source of all healing. I do this through prayer, reading Scripture, emotional release work, laying on of hands, and anointing of essential oils. 

As a licensed Speech Language Pathologist, I am able to assist in evaluating, treating, and providing education for your swallowing, communication, or cognitive challenges.

  • Likewise, if you are feeling ill, please reschedule your appointment.

If the client is late, he/she will be responsible to pay for the full cost of the scheduled appointment. For example, if an appointment is scheduled for one hour but the client is half an hour late, the client would be responsible to pay for the full hour. We may not be able to extend the appointment past the scheduled ending time as this may inconvenience other clients. (We also understand emergencies happen. We will consider these on a case-by-case basis.)
 
1.5  Appointment Cancellation and No-Show Policy - When you book your appointment, you are holding a space on my calendar that is no longer available to others. In order to be respectful of everyone's time, please call or text me as soon as you know you will not be able to make your appointment. 
If cancellation is necessary, we require that you contact at least 12 hours in advance. Appointments are in high demand, and your advanced notice will allow another person access to that appointment time.

1.12 Procedures

My Full Story
Want  to  know the full scoop on how I got where I am today? 
It's story time!

Once upon a time I was a healthcare working wife and mom of two who struggled with confusing but increasingly serious health challenges. I had some ‘unusual for my age’ but surgically treatable diagnoses in my 20s. Then when I hit my 30s, I felt like my health began spiraling out of control with worsening environmental allergies, then severe food allergies, and finally unexplained high blood pressure. 

I spent so much time and money on tests and doctor visits, but all the tests came back normal with no clear causes or answers. All I was given was medications which failed to fix the problems, and an epi-pen to carry everywhere. I could not believe there were no better answers, and I began to refuse to accept this as the only solution! 

The whole time I was going through these crazy health challenges, I worked in speech therapy at our local hospital, evaluating and treating stroke patients every day. Many of my patients also had the diagnosis of high blood pressure, and were on medications for it - and yet, they still ended up with a stroke. I was terrified that I would become that person, disabled, or even dying and leaving behind my sweet boys and husband. 

On top of that stress, I regularly spent time at the pediatrician with my sons for whatever was going around at the time. I felt so helpless, and I just wanted my boys to feel better and be well. Instead, I was often left feeling powerless and, again, without good options. 

But God!

God began to open my eyes that there had to be more out there- more answers, better options. I started to do my own research, and was introduced to some natural tools by my sweet, Jesus-loving friend when I had a Holy Spirit nudge- "Why not check them out? Nothing else seems to be working!" 

I began using my tools, and started learning about how I had been unknowingly sabotaging our health. I also began to learn how to gently address the emotional roots behind some symptoms. Most of all, I learned that my body could heal itself if given the opportunity and what it needs! By the grace of God, I am no longer dependent on medications.

I am so thankful we can save so much time, money, and energy being able to safely manage our health on our terms, and am passionate about helping other moms to be empowered to take control of their wellness and their family’s, too. I guide them in discovering solutions that work for them, without being overwhelmed or feeling guilt, and am so blessed to see them thrive!

My vision is to help tens of thousands of moms reclaim their health and find financial freedom, too! I look forward to the day when we are able to link arms and support moms in missions around the world, too! 

Let's chat so I can help you find your path to wellness and freedom, too!

Are you ready to change your life?
