Invite Cheri to speakWhy book Cheri
Clinical credibility, delivered with warmth
Your audience doesn’t need to be lectured — they need to be understood, encouraged, and given something they can actually use. As a Registered Nurse and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist (CDCES) who also works one-on-one as a health coach, Cheri translates complex medical topics into plain-language wisdom people remember long after the room empties.
Cheri speaks to senior centers, employee wellness programs, patient support groups, faith communities, clinics, nonprofits, and conferences across San Francisco and the greater Bay Area — and virtually for audiences anywhere. Her style is warm and judgment-free, rooted in the “stages of change” and the idea that everyone wants to feel their best — wherever they are starting.
Talks can be tailored to your audience and time slot — a 20-minute lunch-and-learn, a 45-minute keynote, or an interactive 90-minute workshop with take-home tools. No fear-based messaging, no over-promising, no jargon: just honest, evidence-informed guidance from a nurse who has sat at the bedside and coached people through real life.

Signature topics
Five areas Cheri is invited to speak on.
Heart conditions
Understanding blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart health in plain language — plus the daily habits that protect your heart without the overwhelm.
Diabetes
From a Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist: steadier blood sugar, confident carb choices, and living well with prediabetes or diabetes — no shame, no rigid rules.
Brain health
Practical, hopeful strategies for memory, focus, and cognitive resilience as we age — sleep, movement, nutrition, and connection that support a sharper mind.
Women’s health
Whole-person talks on midlife, menopause, stress, and self-advocacy — helping women feel heard and equipped to partner in their own care.
Overall wellness
Integrative, everyday wellness — nutrition, movement, rest, stress, and connection — woven into simple changes your audience can start this week.
The best health talks don’t hand people a list of rules — they hand people back a sense of hope, and one small step they can take today. Everyone wants to feel their best.
