What began as my personal search for balance became a professional calling. I’ve trained with world-renowned teachers including Deepak Chopra (mindfulness, Ayurveda, holistic coaching) and Paul McKenna (clinical hypnotherapy). Today, I blend those evidence-based mind-body practices with decades of real-world leadership experience to help individuals and organizations cultivate clarity, resilience, and wellbeing.

​

As a Fresno-based hypnotherapist, holistic health coach, and workplace-wellness educator, my work bridges science and spirituality. Whether through one-on-one hypnotherapy, personalized health-coaching programs, or corporate workshops, every Take 5 experience is built around the same framework:

​

Transform your state → transform your experience → transform your beliefs → transform your behaviors → transform your health.

​

Each step helps you regulate the nervous system, rewire limiting patterns, and return to your natural rhythm of calm focus.

​

Beyond individual transformation, I’m passionate about bringing practical mindfulness to the workplace. Take 5 programs are trusted in hospitals, healthcare and behavioral-health clinics, senior-care communities, nonprofits, school districts, and companies across California’s Central Valley. Together, we’re creating healthier, more connected cultures—one breath at a time.

​

My love for mindfulness also flows into the Chakras & Chardonnay Podcast, where I explore the intersection of consciousness, connection, and a good glass of wine. The show invites listeners to experience mindful consumption—whether of thoughts, energy, or a favorite vintage—as part of everyday spiritual practice.

​

​When I’m not guiding sessions, you’ll find me on the mat, in my backyard enjoying my chickens, dogs and the rhythm of nature, watching my kids pursue their passions, or creating a new food and wine pairing that celebrates mindful enjoyment.
