Why I Do What I Do
From lavender fields to living proof—my journey of resilience, transformation, and purpose.
I've lived the spiral of loss, pain, and despair—and I've lived the climb back into clarity, strength, and joy. My story is proof that transformation is possible, no matter your age or circumstances.
That's why I guide others through The Art of Living Joyfully™—not as theory, but as a system I still live and practice, every single day.

The Art of Living Joyfully™
🌱 My Journey—The Real Story
I built a life I loved as the "lavender lady," running a farm in California and raising my children close to the land. But that life was shattered by injury, financial loss, and despair. I lost my farm. I lost my stability. I gained 100 pounds and with it, inflammation, shame, and exhaustion. For years, I woke up heavy in body and spirit, carrying toxic weight that felt like a cloak I couldn't remove.
Physically, I was inflamed and constantly in pain. Emotionally, I was numb, disconnected, and felt like joy had abandoned me. Financially, I was broken—the bankruptcy left me wondering if I'd ever rebuild.
My turning point came not through another diet or quick fix, but through a system that addressed the root causes: deficiencies, stress, and toxins. Within days of my first reset, the fog lifted. I felt clarity for the first time in years. Over the months that followed, I lost the toxic weight, regained my strength, and rediscovered joy. I rebuilt my finances too—not through another job, but by mentoring others in the same system that had saved me.
That transformation changed me forever. I didn't just survive—I became living proof.
My Credentials—From Lived Experience to Leadership
38 Years of Entrepreneurship

8 Years as an Executive Consultant with Isagenix
I've guided clients through proven, science-backed systems with measurable results.
Personal Transformation
I've lived medication-free for over a decade, released 100 pounds, and helped my husband remain medication-free at 76. I taught Pilates for 15 years, but I have learned new ways of joyful movement aligned with more gentle practices. I have learned by experience ways to adapt better to stress.
Community Leadership
I've built and led supportive networks where healing and accountability multiply results.
I am a guide who has walked the road and continues to live the reset every single day.

Why I Keep Doing This
Because I know the despair of thinking change isn't possible. I know the pain of carrying extra weight, the shame of feeling stuck, and the loneliness of financial collapse. And I also know the freedom of waking up clear, light, and joyful—the relief of having energy to dance again, and the peace of financial stability built on helping others.
I keep doing this because joy is meant to ripple outward. When I help one person reset, I see it transform their family, their relationships, their work, and their legacy. That ripple is why I will never stop.
That ripple is why I will never stop.
My Systems—Lived, Not Theorized
The Art of Living Joyfully™ is not something I created and set aside. It's the system I still live and practice:
Resets
That keep my body nourished and my inflammation at bay.
Rhythms of Self-Care
Daily rituals of breath, movement, rest, and gratitude.
Wealth Practices
That give me stability and let me mentor others into freedom.
Community Engagement
That keeps me accountable and inspired.
I don't just teach these systems—I embody them.
