Meet Ivy
Wellness & Somatic Coach
I am Board-Certified as a Health and Wellness Nurse Coach with experience in Holistic Nursing, Emergency & Trauma, Public Health and Psychiatry. I recently graduated with my postmaster's certificate as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Vanderbilt University. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing Degree - Healthcare Administration & Leadership as well as my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Azusa Pacific University. I am trained in Somatic Coaching.
​
After years of experience in nursing, I discovered my passion for holistic wellness. I have been on my own wellness journey for quite some time and wholeheartedly believe that true wellness is derived from integration of mind, body, and spirit. For me, spirit is what I found to be my missing piece. ​
​
I have a passion for men's wellness and a special place in my heart for survivors of abuse. I believe that men are in dire need of healing just as much as women and while women have so much support, oftentimes, men are forgotten or neglected, which can lead to unhealthful behavior and suicide. As a survivor of abuse myself, I aim to help those who have been through traumatic experiences so that they may realize their true potential and purpose.
​
I enjoy working with others to uncover and unleash their true potential. Health and wellness go beyond the physical body, although often times, that is where most decide to start.

Hope, Love, Healing & Wellness was founded with the vision of making a profound impact in the lives of others...

"Ivy consistently held space for me and gently reminded me of my positive future. She helped me see that by decluttering my life and my living space I could make room and invite new energy to myself. Her thoughtfulness and respectful guidance was both comforting and reassuring. I would definitely recommend Ivy for anyone who is looking to find a healthy positive life change.”

“Before working with Ivy, I was mired in negative thought processes towards myself and others. Ivy helped me pull out of an obsessive and negative thought pattern and to think about the bigger picture. The overall experience was enjoyable. I liked the process of reflecting on positive and proactive goals attained on a week by week basis. I feel like my inner dialogue turned from negative to positive, which has improved my communication with my husband. Believing in the idea that we are exactly where we are meant to be can provide a sense of ease. Staying present with family and friends helps bring value to the day to day."
