Experience in the area

I am a Certified Health and Wellness Coach specializing with LAP-BAND and Realize Band patients. As a Coach, I help clients going through the weight loss process gain personal empowerment as they lose weight. As a Weight Loss Surgery patient myself, I know about the trials and tribulations my clients face day in and day out. My own life journey makes me passionate about helping other Banded realize their dreams and live the lives they are meant to live. Everyone deserves a life filled with health, happiness and success, “WLS” clients are no exception. I am an author, motivational speaker, Radio host for "The Band Banter" Talk Show, contributes “Health and Wellness” articles exclusively for Avid Living and "WLS" Lifestyle magazine, host tele-seminars and maintains a private practice in Dallas, Texas.

What do you like about this subject?

I am passionate about helping all band patients create a successful band journey. Banded patients can become overwhelmed at times, I take the confusion out of the process and help patients discover what is "Blocking" them.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I have started hosting National Gastric Band Conferences and hope to take the event throughout the USA. I want this community to know they are supported by some amazing professionals who believe in their success.
