For years I worked full time at a hedge fund and built my wellness business on the side. Sitting at my desk, I realized we were all beyond stressed and having on-site trainers and a gym didn’t really matter. We were too busy and when someone said “do this for your wellness,” it was met with an eye roll. And at the same time, my lower back hurt from sitting. Once I was home my fingers would go numb laying in bed on my phone. At first I thought it was just me. Through my health coaching practice, I realized it wasn’t. SO many of us are in this boat and with my experience I’m uniquely qualified to do something to help others.

I have worked in healthcare most of my career, however in my personal life I have additionally utilized complementary health services. I have found that using these holistic services on a regular basis has reduced my need to access the main health system, which is primarily crisis management driven.

It was during my time working as CEO at RiverMend Health that I became aware of how our existing medical approaches to pain management were resulting in a significant number of individuals becoming addicted to opioids. In this context we created Anodunos, an organization whose mission is to create a world without pain, utilizing complementary approaches to each individual’s challenges.

My experience includes organizational leadership, a Master of Business, Bachelor of Science Nursing. I served in Senior Executive Management roles as follows: SVP DaVita Healthcare Partners, COO American Access Care, CEO RiverMend Health, COO Schweiger Dermatology Group, and CEO MMD Consulting Inc.
