Hello

My Story

I grew up in a small town—the kind of place where you know your neighbors and people genuinely care about one another. That sense of connection and community shaped how I see the world. Even then, I was curious about how people outside my immediate surroundings were living, coping, and healing. I wanted to understand their stories too.

Over time, that curiosity turned into a deep commitment to understanding people within the bigger picture of their lives—their environments, communities, and the systems they navigate. That’s why I approach everything through a person-in-environment lens, honoring how our surroundings influence our wellbeing.

My work is rooted in a strengths-based perspective. I believe people carry so much wisdom and resilience within them—even when it feels out of reach. Sometimes we just need the right tools or support to reconnect with that part of ourselves.

While my small-town roots keep me grounded, my heart has always been drawn to helping others, no matter where they are. That’s what inspired me to create WellBeing by Design KC LLC—a space designed to support growth, healing, and transformation in accessible, meaningful ways.

Through e-books, courses, digital resources, coaching, consulting, and public speaking, my goal is simple: to meet people where they are and offer tools that help them move forward. This platform is a space to reconnect with yourself—mind, body, and spirit—and to explore new ways of thriving, on your own terms.

Thanks for being here. I’m glad our paths crossed.
