Hi, I’m Jan.
Nurse Practitioner | Wellness Coach | Grandma | GARDENER | NATURE LOVER | LIFELONG LEARNER
l bring decades of experience as a Nurse Practitioner and Wellness coach , along with advanced training through a post-graduate Fellowship in Integrative Medicine. But more than that, I bring personal insight - because I’ve lived through the very challenges I help others navigate.
After experiencing a serious brain injury myself, I developed a deep, firsthand understanding of what it means to rebuild, to heal and to hope.
I’ve combined my clinical knowledge, coaching skills, and lived experience into a program that’s both science-based and deeply human:
The Golden Clarity Protocol.
This program is designed to help you “Build your Best Brain” - not with gimmicks or overwhelming, constraining rules, but with small, powerful lifestyle changes that support clarity, confidence and joy at every age.
You don’t have to live in fear of decline
You can step forward into a future that feels purposeful and energized - starting NOW.
here’s a glimpse of my story…
I had suffered a brain hemorrhage …
and needed an emergency craniotomy to relieve the pressure on my brain.
Sometime the next day, I awoke in the neuro ICU and was soon able to speak and move.
Even in my post-op haze, I knew that this early ability was a Big Deal and that it improved my outlook for meaningful recovery.
I was SO fortunate!
11 days later I was discharged from the neuro ICU to a 3 month program of physical, speech, and cognitive rehabilitation, directed by an amazing team of professionals.
It was just another Tuesday……
In early October, 2019; I had my usual crammed schedule of patients at the clinic, and was facing a very full afternoon, when I developed a headache.
And not just a “headache”,
but the WORST HEADACHE ...
I did a totally uncharacteristic thing - I asked my nurse to cancel the rest of my day, and I walked out!
I drove myself home and called my husband to complain about my illness. He worried appropriately and acted quickly. Within a short time I was in the Emergency Room, and then into surgery sometime before midnight.
My Quest is to share my path and my passion for Brain Health…
with people like You and like Me.
Because fear and uncertainty about the future steals the joy of the present.
After my brain injury, I became my own case study … researching, testing, rebuilding my brain step by step.
Now I help other people do the same, using practical strategies rooted in neuroscience and real-life healing.
To experience this for yourself, I would love for you to join me online for:
The Golden Clarity Protocol Online Course

It was a long road from there to here …
In fact, it was a journey of about 5 years.
My Brain Rehab was interrupted by the lockdowns of Covid19, so I did a lot of my own research into best practices for brain re-building and regaining my health.
The Golden lining was that I spent many hours reading and writing, with frequent long walks on nature trails near my home.
I filled notebooks with lists, habit trackers and goals. I plastered my calendar with gold stars on the days I achieved my “One Thing”.
I listened to music, committed to meditation practice, and learned to take naps - because Brain Fatigue is real!
