SHIFT Studio Roanoke

Let me reintroduce myself.

Most of you know me as a hairstylist. And after more than 24 years behind the chair, that’s a part of my life I’ll always love.

But my passion for helping people look their best has grown into something bigger — helping them feel their best, too.

My journey into health and wellness started with me looking for answers. I was frustrated with conventional health advice that seemed focused on treating symptoms rather than understanding why things were happening.

I wanted to connect the dots between nutrition, movement, stress, lifestyle, and overall health. What started as a personal journey became a passion for helping others do the same.

Today, I’m a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Certified Personal Trainer, and Weight Loss Coach, with additional training in gut health.

And that’s part of the vision behind SHIFT Studio.

I’m building something that brings together hair artistry, scalp care, health coaching, mindset, movement, and weight loss support.

Because I believe looking good and feeling good should go hand in hand.

My approach isn’t about quick fixes, restrictive diets, or starting over every Monday. It’s about understanding the bigger picture, building sustainable habits, and creating meaningful change.

I’m still behind the chair doing what I love, but I’m also growing my coaching practice, both in person and virtually.

SHIFT is about more than changing how you look. It’s about changing how you feel.

If you’re feeling stuck, struggling with your weight, or ready to take a different approach to your health, I’d love to connect.

Send me a message. Let’s talk about your next SHIFT.

See How It Feels To SHIFT.

For centuries, Cabo de São Vicente was believed to be the edge of the known world. Before modern navigation, many thought this dramatic point on Portugal’s southwestern coast was quite literally “the end of the earth.”

Standing atop these towering cliffs, with the Atlantic Ocean stretching endlessly toward the horizon, it’s easy to understand why. The powerful winds, crashing waves, and uninterrupted views create a place that felt both humbling and unforgettable.

Watching the sun disappear into the Atlantic from Europe’s southwestern tip was one of the most memorable moments of our trip. If you’re visiting the Algarve, don’t miss sunset at Cabo de São Vicente! It truly lives up to its reputation. But bring a coat… it was windy!

Portugal, you were everything!

Some places are beautiful. Others leave you feeling different. These pics are only a small slice.

Thank you for the memories, the adventure, and the reminder that the world is far bigger and far more beautiful than our daily routines.

Until next time, Portugal. 🇵🇹

SHIFT Studio is officially the FIRST Certified Sustainable Salon in our area. 🌿

Beauty waste gets a second life here.

Through our partnership with Green Circle Salons, up to 95% of our beauty waste is recovered and repurposed … including:

✨ Leftover hair color → transformed into clean water + clean energy

✨ Hair clippings → turned into compost, insulation, bio-plastic + oil spill cleanup tools

✨ Foils + color tubes → cleaned and repurposed into new metal products

That means when you sit in my chair, you’re not just investing in your hair, you’re investing in something bigger.

Luxury doesn’t have to create waste.
At SHIFT, it creates impact.

This is what it means to SHIFT your hair. SHIFT your health. SHIFT your footprint.
