I am so glad you stopped by – here is a bit about why I started
The Wellness Extension.

My journey toward prioritizing well-being began when I was 27 and lost my mom to cancer. It hit me hard. My mother prioritized her health and her diagnosis came to a shock to all of us. I know I am not alone in this and that many families have experienced a similar story and loss. At the time, I was fairly new in my HR career and a department of one at a finance firm. I was newly married, had no children yet and my career just beginning to take shape. The loss of my Mom and how I was treated at work during those few weeks that followed, illuminated a critical need: support for personal well-being at work is not a “nice-to-have” benefit - it is a must-have.

I founded The Wellness Extension to bring well-being to the forefront of workplace culture, policies and benefits. My practice focuses on helping small business leaders foster community and connection among their teams, even in hybrid environments, to ensure that their people will show up every day for each other.

With over 20 years of HR leadership experience, I’ve seen a gap between traditional HR offerings and what employees truly need to feel supported. Many programs lack the personal touch required to create meaningful connections at work. Through The Wellness Extension, I combine my HR expertise—spanning compensation, benefits, performance management, and beyond—with a passion for building genuine human connections.

Whether it’s being a thought partner as you tackle a difficult employee conversation, curating expert-led well-being programs, implementing a new HR software or analyzing your benefits and compensation, The Wellness Extension delivers turnkey and customizable solutions that relieve your stress around the people piece.

My goal is simple: Create workplaces where your team wants to show up each day.

My mother’s enduring lessons about valuing wellness have profoundly influenced my journey, and I am committed to supporting business owners cultivate workplaces where their teams feel a strong sense of community grounded in well-being. I look forward to partnering with you to make this happen for your team.

Warmly,
