Welcome to Reedy Creek Wellness
Welcome!
I'm a Registered Nurse with more than 20 years of clinical experience in cardiac, transplant, and renal nursing, along with patient education and advocacy. Through Reedy Creek Wellness, I bring that clinical foundation to whole-person wellness coaching, helping people understand their bodies, build sustainable habits, and feel confident in their physician-directed care.
I specialize in guiding clients through real-life challenges like weight changes, metabolic health, perimenopause and menopause, and new medical diagnoses. My approach is clear, compassionate, and aligned with your physician's plan, so you always feel supported, not overwhelmed.
I offer virtual 1:1 coaching and in-person wellness classes in the Richmond, VA area. Every plan focuses on practical steps that fit your life and deliver steady, meaningful progress.

Why I Do This Work
After two decades in clinical care, I realized that most chronic disease progression isn’t caused by a lack of intelligence or motivation.
It’s caused by:
-
Overwhelm
-
Conflicting information
-
Lack of time with providers
-
Not knowing where to start
-
Losing muscle while trying to lose weight
-
Trying extreme plans that don’t last
My Approach
My work focuses on metabolic stabilization and muscle preservation.
That means we address:
-
Sustainable weight loss
-
Blood sugar balance
-
Blood pressure support
-
Muscle-building and strength
-
Sleep optimization
-
Stress resilience
-
Long-term habit change
Because metabolic health is interconnected, we look at the full picture, not quick fixes or restrictive trends. I combine my clinical background with whole-person wellness strategies to help you understand your body and work with it.
Who I Work With
I work with adults who are at a metabolic turning point:
-
You’ve been told your labs are “creeping up.”
-
You’ve started medication and want to do your part.
-
You feel your metabolism slowing in midlife.
-
You want to prevent progression — not wait for crisis.
-
You want to lose weight without losing muscle.
-
You’re ready for sustainable change, not another reset.
You don’t need to be “sick enough.”
In fact, this work is most powerful before things become severe.
What You Can Expect
When we work together, you can expect:
-
Education without overwhelm
-
Structure without rigidity
-
Accountability without shame
-
Encouragement grounded in science
-
A plan that fits your real life
My role is not to replace your medical care, but to reinforce it — helping you translate recommendations into daily action.
A Personal Note
Having worked in high-acuity care for many years, I know how precious prevention is. I believe it is never too late to change your trajectory.
Small, consistent shifts, especially when supported, can dramatically alter long-term outcomes.
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are capable of rebuilding strength and stabilizing your health.
And you don’t have to do it alone!
