Health & Wellness Coaching

In addition to my experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I also provide Holistic Health & Wellness Coaching, specifically for those who are dealing with Headaches/Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, Autoimmune Disorders, Chronic Illness or just need help making lifestyles changes with their health. My passion for this area of specialization is rather important to me, as I have several personal experiences in this area. I have learned to manage my own health challenges with the guidance and expertise of various health professionals since I was a teenager.

My health struggles began when I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at age 15 (a form of cancer affecting the lymph nodes/immune system), where I endured a year of aggressive chemotherapy.

I was later diagnosed with Chronic Migraines in my mid 20’s and have continued to fight this battle of chronic pain and migraine episodes for over 2 decades.

I am pleased to report I have found significant relief and only experience a fraction of the symptoms I did before, but it was not an easy task.

For more information on my personal testimony, please read my Blog page on Migraine Prevention.

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain syndrome that causes severe muscle/joint stiffness along with widespread pain throughout the body and chronic fatigue. Despite these chronic conditions, I have worked diligently over the years to improve my quality of life and maintain my ability to operate my Counseling and Coaching practices.

Holistic Health & Wellness Coaching is an area of specialization that I have extensive personal knowledge and experience, as well as professional knowledge of the field of Functional and Integrative medicine I have gained over the years by following and studying the techniques of various health professionals in different fields of medicine. Soon, I will have added an additional level of training as a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider.

I am constantly learning to improve my daily health regimen and find it my passion to help others reduce/manage their pain as well as emotional symptoms of anxiety, traumatic stress, and depression that can accompany such discomfort.

The body is just one piece of the Mind, Body, Spirit connection, and if we are unhealthy physically we may also be unhealthy in other areas. My training as a a Christian Counselor is also incorporated (if desired but never required) to address any spiritual concerns.

My goal as a Holistic Health & Wellness Coach is to provide education and guidance to the areas where your body needs improvement in the following subtopics: Nutrition, Hydration, Toxin Elimination, Quality of Sleep, Medication/Supplements, Essential Oils/Herbal Therapy, Alternative Treatments, Body/Energy Work, Exercise/Movement Therapy, Brain Health, Gut Health, and Mental Health.

I incorporate knowledge from various Holistic/Functional Medicine practitioners and recommend that you work alongside your Primary Care Doctor and/or Functional Medicine Specialist. I am not a Medical Doctor and do not claim to be one; however, the Health Coaching services I provide are to help you make the necessary behavioral changes in order to meet your health goals and (if appropriate) to incorporate Mental Health Counseling to treat the accompanying emotional symptoms and trauma.
