The heart of Grace Wellness is to bring calm, strength, stress management and a healthy lifestyle in to each and every life I contact.

I began my career as a founding member of the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, and transitioned in to healthcare getting a Master’s degree in Medical Science and have been a Physician Assistant for nearly twenty years. Throughout the years I have found the care and compassion that we provide to our patients can often lead to a lack of self care. Time and time again, I have witnessed healthcare providers succumb to burnout, stress and outright exhaustion to the point of hindering their own health.

It is easy for us as humans and caregivers to underestimate the power of stress management, keeping ourselves healthy, physically fit and nourishing the mind/body and spirit. I am dedicated to helping individuals learn about themselves, and develop tools that can be used in everyday practice to enrich their lives, relationships, and careers.

I strongly believe we must take an “upstream” approach to common health problems — preventing or slowing them before they become unmanageable. Begin at the source: address stress, optimize diet, and use an individualized exercise plan. By focusing on these root factors, we can achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in health.

Together, we will find the space to maintain health through personalized, compassionate care.
