Robin began her professional career as a high school math teacher who quickly became a leader in public education by earning her principal license and serving as a school board member. Robin’s passion for teaching extended into the world of wellness when she became a Weight Watchers leader and coach after learning how to maintain a significant weight loss herself.

On the personal side of her journey, Robin is a survivor who has learned to thrive. When her childhood trauma manifested into crippling addiction and illness, Robin committed herself to healing through learning about wellness and merging conventional science with holistic practices to empower healing.

This led Robin to create Robin’s WellNest LLC, where she teaches resilience and wellness in all seasons of life through meditation, mindful eating and Reiki. She personalizes your wellness plan and uses her lived experiences, as well as her expertise as a master teacher, to empower your healing and inner fitness.
