Get to Know Me

About Diane

In 2019, I retired from teaching. After 17 years in education, the decision was easy to make because I knew I wanted to take my passion for teaching and help midlife women learn more about health and wellness.

As a coach, I work with midlife women who want to feel more confident in their clothes and love the way they look in family pictures. Like many of my clients, I spent years trying all the "right" things—endless cardio, restrictive diets—only to feel frustrated when nothing seemed to yield the results I was looking for. Then, I found the FASTer Way to Fat Loss® program and everything changed.

Most of the women I coach already know how to cut calories to lose a few pounds. But very few know how to truly fuel their bodies—supporting their hormones, boosting their energy, and feeling amazing while still reaching their goals. So that’s exactly what we do together. 

My Story

As an 18-year breast cancer survivor, my passion for wellness and longevity runs deep. I’ve lost close family members to cancer and Alzheimer’s, and watching loved ones battle these diseases over the years is the reason I’m so committed to learning everything I can about living a healthy lifestyle.

My three daughters, and now my grandson, are my greatest motivation. I don’t just want to age well, I want to thrive for as long as possible. 

"I want to die young at an old age." – Dr. Stephen Gundry.

After 17 years of teaching, I turned my passion for health into a full-time career, becoming a certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss® coach in 2019. In the years since, I’ve continued expanding my expertise, earning a mindbodygreen Functional Nutrition certification in 2022 and a Metabolic Mentor Functional Health Coach certification in 2024. Now, I help women fuel their bodies, balance their hormones, and feel incredible inside and out.
