While we were vacationing in Italy last month, my first nephew, Reed Thomas, was born on July 1. Now that my sister and her husband have had some time to get acquainted with their baby, it was time for a much-anticipated visit to Louisville, Ky. It was a quick trip but we made the most of our time there.  Reed… Read More

We all know them. Those women who seem to glow from the inside out. They’re healthy and happy and they make it seem effortless. Have you ever wondered about the habits of healthy, happy women you know? First, let’s talk about the title of my book, Your Holistically Hot Transformation. If you’ve read it or follow me on social media, then… Read More

A rainy weekend called for laying low. Friday night was date night at one of our favorite restaurants for fresh seafood, Seamore’s.

IMO, that’s reason enough for why you need a Health Coach.  When I speak with potential clients, they rattle off long lists of what they think they should be eating (salad) and what they think they should be… Read More

In my conversations with these women, many of the same themes come up time and again. Among the more popular is the question, “why am I always hungry?”  There’s… Read More

I’ve always been a serious over-packer and because of it –  truth be told, I dread packing, but I can’t leave without a few summer must haves. With… Read More
