I became a health coach because I kept watching the same thing happen. Someone gets a diagnosis, and overnight they inherit a second job. Appointments, records, medications, diet changes, insurance calls. All of it lands on the person with the least energy to spare.
The health system is full of good people, but it hands you a plan and walks away. The space between what your doctor prescribes and what your actual Tuesday looks like is where most plans quietly die. That space is where I work.
I trained at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, the coaching program built alongside The Institute for Functional Medicine. Functional medicine looks for the why underneath symptoms. Coaching is the discipline of turning that why into changes that hold.
My job is not to cheer at you, and it's not to hand you another program to fail. I hold the plan, the details, and the follow-through so you don't have to carry them alone. When you're ready to take a piece back, I hand it back. The goal is always your independence, not your dependence on me.
If that sounds like the kind of help you've been looking for, the first conversation is free.

The origin
I lived close to chronic illness long before I worked in it. I watched people I love do everything right, follow every instruction, and still feel like they were failing. Nobody was failing. The support was missing.
The turn
I decided to become the person I kept wishing existed. Someone who sits in the space between the doctor's plan and real life, and helps carry it.
The training
I trained at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, built alongside The Institute for Functional Medicine, in evidence-based coaching and behavior change.
The bloom
Origin & Bloom is that idea made real, a practice in Denver built for people whose health asks a lot of them. This is the work I intend to do for a long time.
What a health coach is (and isn't)
A partner, not a director
You set the goals. I help you get there.
A believer in your own strengths
I help you use your own insight to build the life you're picturing, one step at a time.
Your accountability
We make a plan together, then I help you stick with it or rework it when life happens.
A guide through the how
Your doctor tells you what needs to change. I help you figure out how to actually do it.
A doctor
I don't diagnose, prescribe, interpret labs, or recommend supplements.
A therapist
We can work with feelings as they relate to your goals, but treating mental health conditions belongs with a licensed counselor.
A meal planner or trainer
I don't write diets or exercise prescriptions.
If something comes up that needs a doctor or counselor, I'll say so, and I'll help you get there instead of leaving you on your own.
