About Judy

We live within extractive systems— systems that take and take and rarely give back. Even the ways we relate—to each other, to time, to ourselves—are often rooted in depletion.

We struggle to keep up, stay connected, feel worthy, and make meaning— all while navigating environments that were never designed with our wholeness in mind.

Through simple, embodied practices and compassionate coaching support, I help people tap into the wisdom and power of the heart to restore their energy and create lives—and systems—that nourish rather than deplete.

This is regenerative living. It begins within—and ripples outward.

Education & Experience

I hold graduate degrees in nutrition and counseling psychology, with a specialization in the practical application of neuroscience and the change process. I’m an Integrative Wellness Coach trained at Duke Integrative Medicine, a HeartMath® Certified Practitioner and Trainer, a certified provider of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and a Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT)™ practitioner.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve used a holistic approach with a wide range of patients and clients. I’ve served as a mental health coach on an integrative care team in a family medical practice, spent 7 years working with adolescents on an inpatient psychiatric unit, and worked individually and in groups through my private practice.

Human beings are complex, integrated systems. Time and again I have witnessed the remarkable transformations that can happen when all parts of us—heart and mind, body and soul—are engaged in the process. My training in energy psychology and the Hawaiian healing tradition informs the way I support clients in engaging all dimension for greater health, well-being, and a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.

Now more than ever...

we need to calm our nervous systems so we can stay connected—to our deeper, wiser selves and to one another. This is how we stay resilient in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. This is how—together—we create the world we most want to see.

What people are saying...

"Working with Judy is like having a personal trainer for my nervous system."

- JS, Student

"I refer many of my patients to Judy at some point. She has a unique gift for meeting people where they are, finding the core issues that are constraining them, and coming up with tools and strategies that are both simple and profoundly effective in helping them transform their lives."

- Anne Vaillant, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

"Judy has the ability to teach and share her immense knowledge in understandable and relatable ways. I continue to notice the rewards from the learning and practices. I am less reactive, less fearful, more confident and living more authentically and with ease. Simply life-changing!"

- CL, Accountant

"Judy's work is pure brilliance with a good dose of gentleness, too. I am a big fan of the powerful methods she uses for anxiety relief, happiness, and trauma recovery. She is an anxiety and wellness genius!"

- Val Nelson, Business Coach

"Approaching anxiety from the bottom up was more helpful than anything else I tried. I have tried CBT, IFS, and 'talk therapy,' and never felt as though it had significant impact. Judy provided me with invaluable tactics and support. I left the program feeling more grounded, able to handle the stressors and ultimately less anxiety."

- AS, Operations Manager

"Judy is skilled and compassionate. She encouraged me to investigate the stories I was telling myself and helped me rewrite years-old scripts that were holding me back in what I wanted in life."

- AM, Nutritionist
