Over the years, I have gone on a journey of self-discovery fraught with numerous life transitions where I worked to transform my WHOLE SELF into something so much more than just skin deep. Some of life’s transitions brought me a great deal of joy while others left me feeling heavy with a sense of loss and failure. All of them presented opportunities for me to learn, to grow and to transform my life from the inside out! One transition has been in the area of my health. Having been overweight, living an unhealthy lifestyle and struggling with a variety of health issues, I took back my health through small and manageable changes that changed my life permanently! I have a passion for learning, for growing and for teaching and sharing what I have learned with others to help them discover their path to a transformed life! Someone shared with me some tips and inspired me to make my health a priority. The resulting change that I felt was so dramatic that I wanted to inspire others like I had been inspired. A dream was born and I founded Vispire Health, where I work as an Integrative (Holistic) Nutritional Health Coach (INHC) and as an educational speaker to “inspire the vision of health” in others.

I received my training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition®, where I studied a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. I am certified as an Integrative (Holistic) Nutritional Health Coach. I am also a Wisconsin licensed esthetician and hold certification in massage and healing arts from Evrard Vision in Singapore. I hold advanced degrees in Accounting, Esthetics and Feng Shui and have formerly studied culinary arts, interior design, management, finance and education. I love to learn and have informally studied a huge variety of other topics including organic gardening, gardening by the moon, various religions/belief systems around the globe and so much more!
Along my life’s journey, I have experienced many, many life transitions. Multiple career changes represent just some of the transitions. I went from waitress, working in a grocery deli and bakery department when young to accounting clerk to corporate accountant/financial analyst and public accounting consultant and then on to teaching accounting, business, finance and accounting software courses as a college instructor for many years of my life. I made a big career change at that point in accepting a position as a financial adviser/stockbroker and moved from Wisconsin to Tennessee to Kentucky back to Wisconsin all within the span of only one year! I went from “having it all” to “losing it all” in a financial crisis as the world tends to define it. I have struggled through the challenge of taking care of an aging, invalid parent. As a small business owner of a day spa in my town as well as having had my own business as a Mary Kay consultant and other similar business opportunities along that line, I have grown a lot. |

On the other end of the spectrum, I have experienced being married to a farmer, co-owning and working on a dairy and crop farm with cows, calves, hogs, chickens, ducks and horses. Yes, I have milked my share of cows and scooped heaps of manure! Along the way, I had three sons whom I adore. I have also lived through divorce and remarriage. As a child, I survived a “less-than-ideal” childhood that left some deep scars that have since healed. So you see, life has been full, and often times, overflowing with transitions to navigate through. However, through them all I have always grown and rebounded stronger than before. I have a deep unshakable faith in God that has kept me sane through all these changes and in whom I have been truly transformed in the depths of my soul.
