What is a Functional Medicine Health Coach?

As a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach trained by the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (in association with the Institute for Functional Medicine), I understand that there’s more to a healthy lifestyle than diets and strict exercise routines. Maybe you desire clarity around what changes you want to make and how to make them. Or perhaps you know what changes you’d like to make to improve your health, but there’s a gap between what you know and what you do.

As a functional medicine certified health coach, I…

  • help you gain clarity around your strengths and values.

  • help you determine which lifestyle and/or changes feel doable to you.

  • support you in establishing “S.M.A.R.T.” goals and Tiny Habits.

  • help you discover the “why” behind your desired change.

  • help you identify challenges and blind spots that may be preventing change.

  • empower you. When it comes to your body, mind, and spirit, you are the expert!

  • provide support and, when requested, accountability.

  • work directly with your practitioner, at your request.

  • use my broad knowledge of health and well-being to help you navigate a variety goals relating to sleep, stress management, nutrition, movement, connection, and more.

  • celebrate your successes and encourage progress!

I will share information and resources with you only with your permission. Change comes about when you are ready and open to change. My job is to listen and ask good questions so you can develop the strategies that work best for you.

What is Functional Medicine?

“FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE is the future of conventional medicine–available now. It seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease, and views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialties. It treats the whole system, not just the symptoms.”
- Mark Hyman, M.D.
