She helps folks understand and nourish their bones and, most importantly, not fear their bones as they age so they can live their life fully. She’s a BoneFit™-trained professional and ambassador for Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) and she’s currently pursuing her Doctorate at the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at USC. She approaches her daily practice and 17 years of teaching with an academic mind and a curious heart to better understand and convey the biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to addressing bone health through a focus on whole health.
