Three decades studying what makes systems work. Nine years applying it to the female body at midlife.

Sheila’s path runs from healthcare administration and national practice-management consulting, through fitness and entrepreneurship, into functional diagnostics, behavior change, hormone physiology, women’s metabolic health, and teaching other practitioners.

She was trained in the founding Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach cohort and spent two years as adjunct faculty at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, supporting the development of other functional-medicine coaches.

Then her own physiology stopped cooperating. Highly capable and running her own practice, she found her sleep, mood, motivation, and resilience giving way. She was the fourth physician’s patient before anyone confirmed what she had been navigating for years: menopause. Lived experience informs her judgment. It does not replace professional preparation.

Since then she has worked with hundreds of women, largely through word of mouth, and matured that work into Signal Restoration™ and the forthcoming book Vital Signs.
