Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I am a university educator, multi-certified wellness instructor, author, and explorer. For over 20 years, I’ve had the honor of teaching at the college and university level—most recently at Oregon State University, where I develop curriculum and guide students as they step into the world.

My mission? To blend the modern science of positive psychology with ancient wisdom traditions, giving you real, hands-on tools to live a sustainable, low-stress, and joy-filled life. Over 7,550 students from 146 countries have joined my online courses, and I am incredibly excited to share these proven happiness habits with you.

When I’m not teaching or hosting magical wellness retreats in stunning locations, you can find me living life to the fullest in the wild west of Oregon, where I've spent the last 29 years. I am a voracious reader, a snow-shoer extraordinaire, a recently published author, and a lover of gourmet food and fine champagne.

Life has thrown its share of curveballs—including navigating recovery from brain surgery—but it has only deepened my passion for helping others discover how to be a wee bit happier every single day.

Let's connect! Whether it's through my online community, on social media, or at an unforgettable upcoming retreat, I can't wait to meet you.
