  • OWNER/FOUNDER OF
    SUITE ZEN + LEVEL UP WELLNESS

    I started Level Up Wellness because I wanted to create a supportive healing space for people dealing with challenging health issues and for those who want to be on a healthier path. All too often, I hear the frustrations of my clients, friends, and family who have been let down by the traditional medical system. I myself have been down a very hard road with my own autoimmune issues, and sadly my son’s terminal cancer diagnosis. When faced with these challenges, it is easy to feel lost and powerless in your healing. We often lose sight of the big picture and lose touch with our intuition and our body’s innate ability to heal itself. Western medicine definitely has its place, BUT It’s crucial to supplement the healing power of the natural elements to fortify our body and give it the vital energy it needs to carry us to achieve optimal health.

    Over the past 20 years, I have been intrigued with the natural health field and immersed myself in many studies related to healing. My professional career began as a massage therapist and I have since gained my certification as an Integrative Nutritional Health Coach and Ozone Practitioner. My passion is helping people feel better by offering holistic therapies and wellness technologies to Level Up your health. Our practitioners at Level Up are dedicated to providing a caring holistic approach to wellness. We welcome you to visit our space and are honored to be a part of your journey.
