I HELP FINANCIAL ADVISORS & INVESTORS GROW WELLTHY

I'm the Founder & CEO of Grow Wellthy™ and the creator of the WellthPLAN™ and WellthCLUB™ signature health coaching programs. As a financial advisor's daughter who became an exercise physiologist & certified wellness coach, I help financial professionals and their clients invest in their health so they can retire "wellthy." 

My Story

I grew up as a financial advisor's daughter. For over 30 years my father helped a lot of people build financial portfolios to protect their wealth and prepare for retirement. I worked in his office growing up and always wondered why some of his clients would save and work hard their entire lives only to get sick or die prematurely. It seemed like such a waste to me! What bothered me even more was watching financial advisors, who know how to plan for the future, ignore their own health for decades. I kept asking myself, “What good is wealth if you don’t have your health?” Fast forward....I became an exercise physiologist, a certified health & wellness coach, and founder of Grow Wellthy. Now I help financially-savvy professionals enjoy better health.

Speaker & Educator:
My pre-diabetes is gone. A1C and fasting blood sugar are normal! I lost 20 lbs in 10 weeks and my waist shrunk 4 inches. I can't tell you how incredible it feels to have my peace of mind back. I know I'm no longer on the road to chronic disease.

My Struggle

​I had always been active, thin, and fit when I was young. My lifestyle, or body chemistry, or genetics, or maybe all 3 made it seem easy. But, then I turned 40. I got a stressful desk job. And I had an emergency hysterectomy with sepsis, a blood transfusion, and 5 days in the hospital while living in Australia. All around the same time. (read more on that here) The body I once knew was no longer the same. My hormones disappeared literally overnight. My desk job pinned me behind a computer all day, so it was no longer easy to stay active, and I was under constant stress trying to build a business in a foreign country. 

​​Because of this my body aged about a decade over that year. My weight climbed. My waist thickened. My energy plummeted. I was in adrenal fatigue. My blood sugar crept out of the normal ranges, and I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. My frustration and fear grew.

I kept thinking to myself…”I have a master’s degree in exercise physiology. I earned the most sought-after certification in my industry (American College of Sports Medicine). I’ve been coaching other people for years. How can I not figure this out for myself?!” 

I beat myself up because the things that used to work for me to maintain my weight didn’t work anymore. But, in hindsight, it led me a better solution. And then I had an ah-ha moment...the same skills it takes to be financially successful are the one necessary for staying healthy. The concepts are parallel. Small deposits, diversyfied activities, thinking in terms of decades rather than days. 

This led me to see my near death experience as a gift. I'm perfectly positioned to help people in the financial industry with their physical health. Fast forward to the wellness solution I call the WellthPLAN. 
​
That’s why I founded Grow Wellthy and why I only work people who understand financial principles. They will get it, and when they are ready, they will be successful.
