Wayward Wellness Coaching

I’m just an average woman who got tired of being a slave to the system. But as an overachiever and people pleaser, I didn’t know what stepping away looked like, so I stayed stuck for way too long — until my body made the decision for me. Three major surgeries and a LOT of reflection time later, I finally made the decision to step away from my career as a firefighter paramedic and start Wayward Wellness Coaching. Now I challenge others to ask the hard questions that keep them stuck in the same loops and cycles I was in. If you’re ready to quit being a slave to the system and Burn the Blueprint, join me and subscribe to my Weekly Recharge.
