Well, I have some very happy news to share.

Months of studying, reviewing, practicing, and occasionally wondering why I had voluntarily signed myself up for yet another exam have finally paid off, and I’m delighted to say that I officially passed the National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) certification exam.

And yes, when I saw PASS on the screen, I sat there for a minute and let myself enjoy it.

This certification means a great deal to me because it brings together so many things I’ve cared about for a very long time: how we live, how we change, how we care for ourselves, and how we navigate those seasons when life asks us to reconsider what comes next.

After more than four decades in executive leadership and finance, I never expected this chapter to include studying behavior change, wellbeing, and health coaching. But looking back, the path makes more sense than I could have imagined.

I’m deeply grateful to the teachers, mentors, colleagues, clients, friends, and family who have encouraged me along the way, and especially to those who have trusted me with their stories and allowed me the privilege of walking alongside them.

So, my signature block has expanded officially:

I’m exhaling a very big, very happy deep breath today.

After months of intensive study, practice coaching sessions, and a lot of heart, I officially earned my ACC certificate from the International Coaching Federation! 🎓✨

If I’m being completely honest, the biggest feeling right now is just pure relief (and a whole lot of excitement). Checking this milestone off the list feels like stepping into a brand-new chapter.
What this credential means to me isn’t just a new set of letters after my name—it’s a promise to the people I sit across from. It means our time together is held to the highest standard of trust, safety, and genuine, person-centered support.

I certainly didn't walk this path alone, and my heart is so full thinking of the people who have carried me to this point:

Chick Petersen: My absolute rock. For keeping me fed, the coffee fresh & hot, holding down the fort during my long study blocks, and celebrating every single tiny breakthrough with me. I couldn't do any of this without you.

My wonderful mentors & teachers at the Gaja Collective: Thank you for pushing me to hone my presence and showing me what it truly looks like to coach the whole person.

My practice clients: Thank you for trusting me with your stories, your transitions, and your goals while I was building my hours. You taught me how to be a better coach every single session.

Dr. Jodi Gusek & Dr. Angie Cross: For the endless encouragement, the supportive check-ins, and being the best triad partners anyone could ask for.

My virtual doors are officially open! If you’re navigating a major life transition, looking to realign your personal wellbeing, or just want a partner to help you map out what's next, I’d love to connect. Drop me a message—let's grab some coffee or tea & chat! ☕️
