Mission

My mission is to empower you with tools to thrive in health, happiness, and purpose. Through trauma-informed, science-based, holistic health coaching methods, we work together to unlock optimal mental and physical wellbeing. 

A registered nurse, nutritionist, and trauma informed health coach

My journey as a critical care nurse, and struggles with burnout and PTSD taught me that our mental, and physical health are closely connected.

​

In my 7 years working as a nurse in the ICU setting, I learned that chronic stress, shift work, and exposure to trauma take a significant toll on our nervous system, leading to things like exhaustion, chronic pain, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, headaches, sleep issues, and weight gain, robbing us of the quality of life we desire.

​

I remember seeking help for my symptoms, only to become frustrated by the limited holistic options available. Meds and therapy were not really my thing, so I set off on a journey to learn everything I could about stress, the nervous system, and ways to optimize my mental and physical health holistically. 

​

I've created Kaimana Health as a refuge for other busy professionals looking to heal the root cause of chronic symptoms, so you don't have to struggle for years "figuring things out" like I did.
