Tell us about yourself
I attended medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. I then went on to residency at St Vincent's Mercy Medical Center for Emergency Medicine. I've spent one year flying with Life Flight as a flight physician. Now works at local emergency rooms in the community and at my office in Perrysburg, OH practicing Integrative Medicine. I graduated from The University of Arizona: Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine's two-year fellowship program (1,000-hour program).
I've been featured on the local Podcast Thrive Tribe 419, a guest on Rebecca Regnier's Full Plate (WTVG 13 ABC), lectured at the Way Public Library, and for the AOA (American Osteopathic Association). My own health history of Hashimoto's and having children sparked my interest in Integrative Medicine. I am very passionate about helping patients with chronic diseases and letting our bodies heal themselves. I am a Certified Yoga Instructor 200 hr with Aura Wellness Center and Kids Yoga with Yogafit. I am a published author of the book- Eat. Sleep. Move. Breathe: A Beginner's Guide to a Healthy Lifestyle. My hobbies include spending time with my husband and four children, yoga, running, paddle boarding on the Maumee river, and reading all things.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Launching my own supplement company and my brick-and-mortar through the pandemic.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest thing is balance! Finding a balance between being a wife, mother, physician, and business owner.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Just get started! Once you get the ball moving, things will get into place.
- Find a mentor! It can be a podcast, a book, or a friend who is a business owner.
