About Judy
Integrative Wellness Coach
Human beings are complex, integrated systems. Healing and growth are most effective when all parts of us—heart and mind, body and soul—are engaged in the process.
But the cultural and economic systems we live within also impact our well-being. Stress and burnout aren’t just personal struggles to fix. They’re signals of a culture that glorifies speed, efficiency, and extraction—draining time, energy, attention, and even the way we nourish ourselves.
My work helps people see these connections clearly, so they can reclaim choice, restore balance, and begin to thrive—in body, mind, and spirit. Through practical neurobiology, positive psychology, and heart-centered and wisdom-tradition practices, we can ease stress and anxiety, create lasting change, repair our relationship with food, and make choices that sustain both ourselves and the planet.
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 seven years working with adolescents on an inpatient psychiatric unit, and worked individually and in groups through my private practice.
My training in energy psychology and the Hawaiian healing tradition continues to inform the way I support clients in engaging all dimensions of themselves for greater health, well-being, and a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. And now, my work is expanding beyond the individual to explore how personal healing connects to something larger: how we eat, live, and connect in community—and how we can begin to shift the systems we are part of from depletion toward regeneration.
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
I am a Wellness Coach and Educator, not a psychotherapist. Skill-building and coaching support can be an effective adjunct to other forms of treatment, but they are not a substitute for appropriate medical or mental health care. I do not take insurance, although some HSAs may reimburse for health coaching.
