Welcome!
 I'm Debbie
Health & Wellness Coach,Â
Lifelong Learner & Your Guide to Holistic Health
I understand the frustration of searching for solutions.  Â
In 2013, my life took an unexpected turn
when I started experiencing excruciating pain and swelling in my joints.
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, wanting to feel healthy but unsure of how to get there. Despite my lifelong interest in the connection between body, mind, and spirit, I wasn’t always practicing what I knew was best. Can you relate?
To make matters worse, I had been following advice that turned out to be inaccurate, leading to my body becoming overwhelmed and ultimately resulting in my diagnosis. The only solutions I was offered were lifelong medications, with the grim warning that without them, I’d be in a wheelchair within five years.
I kept hitting the same wall—treatment that focused solely on symptoms, not the root cause. It became clear that I needed something more, something that considered all of me, not just the diagnosis. I wanted a solution that truly addressed the heart of my health struggles. So, I decided to take my health into my own hands.
That’s when I discovered functional medicine—a holistic approach that looks at the whole person, including their lifestyle and environment, to identify and address the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms.
This approach didn’t just help me; it transformed my life and fueled my passion to help others who feel just as stuck.
My journey with rheumatoid arthritis and the discovery of functional medicine didn’t just resolve my immediate health challenges; it also equipped me with the tools to navigate the aging process. As I began to age, I noticed that the same principles I had applied to address my RA were incredibly effective in managing the new symptoms and challenges that came with getting older.
The holistic approach that focuses on the root causes, rather than just the symptoms, became my blueprint for healthy aging. By continuing to prioritize my overall well-being—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—I’ve been able to age with vitality and resilience.
I believe thatÂ
everyone deserves to live a life full of energy, health, and happiness.
Over the past years, I've had the privilege of guiding countless women, especially those navigating the complexities of aging, to achieve their health goals and embrace a lifestyle filled with vitality. My dedication goes beyond addressing symptoms—it's about empowering you to fully own your health journey, discover your path to lasting happiness, and age with grace, strength, and confidence.
Below are some snapshots of the incredible transformations I’ve witnessed, along with recognitions and certifications that underscore my commitment to your health.
Why Should I Be Your Guide on Your Health Journey?
I’m here not just as a coach but as someone who has walked the tough path of health transformation firsthand. My journey into the world of health wasn't just professional; it was deeply personal. It’s been a challenging road, but I truly believe that our struggles can be transformative, making us stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to age with longevity and vitality.
Step 1: Understanding the Root Causes
Aging well starts with understanding the root causes of your health challenges. Rather than accepting symptoms as inevitable, I chose a different path—one that involved digging deep into the underlying issues affecting my health. As your coach, I’ll help you identify the root causes of your own health concerns, ensuring we address them at their core.
Step 2: Making Informed Lifestyle Changes
Longevity and vitality come from making informed, wise, and conscious choices about your lifestyle. Through Functional Medicine, I discovered the power of personalized dietary changes, movement (exercise) routines, and stress management techniques. Together, we’ll craft a plan tailored to your unique needs, focusing on sustainable changes that will support your long-term health.
Step 3: Embracing Mindset Shifts
True wellness requires a shift in mindset. Healing and aging gracefully are not just about the physical body—they involve your mind and spirit as well. During my journey, I learned the importance of tuning into my body, practicing self-care, and cultivating a healthy mindset. As your guide, I’ll support you in making these essential mindset shifts, helping you to embrace aging with confidence and joy.

The ultimate goal is to achieve lasting transformation, allowing you to live a life of energy and vitality.
