Aspen Integrated Health Education Community

Welcome friend.

I’m so glad you’ve joined us.

Pull up a chair and settle in! I’m eager to share the tools and resources that have made a profound and lasting change in my own life, and in the lives of my clients and students. Aspen Integrated Health Education resources are based off of what I’ve learned in my almost 20 years as a mental health therapist and health educator. And I can’t wait to share it all with YOU.

Whether you’re looking for free resources, or access to my AIC Toolkits and Workshops, I hope you’ll find tools and information that help shape and support your growth and wellbeing.

Here’s to designing lives of fulfillment, vitality, and vibrant health…together!
