I’m a live-aboard sailor, artist, designer, retired firefighter, paddle board instructor, and former Wall Street financial manager. My mind has always followed patterns — from writing raw HTML to reading wind shifts and emergency scenes, from navigating markets to studying digital currencies. I’ve worked where conditions change quickly, where structure matters, and where resilience isn’t optional. That experience shaped the hydration strategies and field-tested recipes I create today — built to hold steady in wind, weather, and life. weather, and life.

Salt-Wise Living is where I share field-tested hydration strategies, mineral balance insights, and simple formulations designed for real humans — not marketing trends. From Bug Juice to SALTMN, each protocol is built for clarity, performance, and nervous system support.

About This Site
This site is built with GoDaddy Website Builder as an example of the type of simple, easy-to-edit websites I help clients set up through SailAway Hosting. If you’d like a DIY site that you can manage yourself, let’s talk.

My husband and I live aboard our sailboat, designing life intentionally and navigating by weather, tide, and long-view thinking. Through SailAway Designs, I help businesses build strong digital foundations — websites, branding, positioning, and messaging that reflect who they truly are.

I have been immersed in the paddle boarding world since 2011, when I co-founded BrassWind Landing Boat Rental in Indian River, Michigan. Over the years I guided thousands of paddlers, built two successful paddle businesses, and helped train the next generation of instructors as a World Paddle Association Level II Instructor Trainer and PaddleFit Pro Coach. For seven years I operated Sea Dog Eco Tours in Fort Myers Beach, Florida—weathering hurricanes and countless adventures while sharing my love of paddling and coastal exploration. Today, I offer WPA instructor certification classes, rescue training, and SUP coaching while traveling seasonally across the United States.
Find me where the water leads — offering WPA instructor certifications and SUP training across the country. From May through September I travel between Michigan, Arkansas, Texas, and Florida offering privately scheduled WPA instructor certifications and SUP training. If I’m near your area, reach out to schedule a session or host a class.
