Radiant Living: A Nurse's Journey to WHOLEistic Wellness

In the tapestry of my life, nursing has been a guiding thread for over three decades. However, six years ago, a pivotal moment altered my trajectory. My father's stroke prompted a profound shift, eventually leading me to retire from traditional nursing and embark on a mission to impact lives through WHOLEistic wellness.

In the digital realm, I launched "Your Prescription To Health, Wellness and Radiance," seamlessly merging online and in-person interactions to empower individuals in reclaiming control over their Well-BEing. Hosting transformative online summits like "More Veggies Please" became a stepping stone towards fostering a plant-forward lifestyle. This journey culminated in the creation of "The Healthy Habits Lab," a vibrant community that welcomes those committed to embracing and cultivating habits that create physical vitality, mental clarity, and high-vibe living. 

Having lived a plant-based lifestyle for many years and certified in plant-based nutrition through the Center for Nutrition Studies, I am also a Food For Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Committed to promoting the benefits of plant-based living, these roles empower me to share practical knowledge and culinary skills, inspiring others to lead a life that nurtures healthy longevity for both them and the environment.

Drawing from these diverse experiences, which include working with individual clients, I developed the Healthy Habits Framework, a foundational approach to Well-BEing. This framework lays the foundational concepts and constructs for my upcoming book, serving as the essential guide & building blocks for readers to foster daily routines that lead them on a transformative journey towards lasting habits that create health and wellness.

Retirement from nursing isn't an end but a new beginning—a chance to make a true and lasting difference. Through my various endeavors, I aspire to inspire others to embrace a life filled with health, wellness, and radiant living.
