Health Coaching
My Approach
I believe lasting change starts from the inside out. Together, we begin with your character strengths, core values, and what thriving truly looks like in your life. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan. We look at the whole picture — your health, schedule, stress, relationships, and priorities — and you choose where to start.
I’m here to guide the process, ask thoughtful questions, and share clear, science-based education when you want it — not to dictate a rigid plan or tell you what I think you should do. This collaborative approach helps you build confidence, ownership, and habits that feel natural in your real life.
When change grows from your values and strengths, it becomes sustainable — not another short-term program, but a way of living that supports long-term thriving.

Why The Thriving Monkey
The name The Thriving Monkey is both personal and intentional. As a child, my grandmother called me “monkey doo,” a nickname that followed me throughout my life. I was endlessly curious, fascinated by monkeys, and always wanting to understand how things worked. That curiosity never left me.
Years later, through meditation and mindfulness practices, I learned about the concept of the monkey mind, the constant mental chatter that keeps us stuck, fuels self-limiting beliefs, and disconnects us from our bodies. Interestingly, I was also born in the Year of the Monkey according to the Chinese zodiac, a symbol of curiosity, intelligence, and adaptability.
The monkey represents curiosity, awareness, and growth. Thriving comes from learning how to quiet the noise, understand our bodies, and move forward with intention.
