My Story

I am proud to be a certified health and wellness coach with a focus on brain health.

I spent nearly 20 years as a healthcare copywriter, writing materials to educate patients and doctors on various conditions and drugs (from Pfizer, Merck, Novartis, and Genentech, to name a few) to treat them. I learned the craft of making complicated, scientific information accessible and understandable for the everyone. I really enjoyed my job, and like to think my work helped people.

I had to stop, however, when my mother developed Alzheimer’s dementia—a frightening, cruel end to her otherwise brilliant career as a physician. Everything I’ve learned about Alzheimer’s Disease from recent research points to it being largely preventable. Had she known 20-30 years ago what I know now, maybe she wouldn’t have gotten Alzheimer’s. I hope to channel this knowledge into helping others by spreading the word about brain health—what people can start doing now to preserve it as much as possible in the future.

My mom was a physician who devoted her life to helping people. I’d like to carry her spirit forward in doing the same. Rest in peace mom, I know you’re keeping an eye on me!
