YOUR INTEGRATIVE HEALTH & WELLNESS COACH
Are you low on energy & short on time?
Do you want that youthful energy back but feel like you're spread too thin or it's just too late in life to do anything about it? Do you have intentions to get that workout in, write out that meal plan, or do some much needed self-care but by the time you get home from work you're just too spent and unmotivated to get off the couch?
I hear you! Hey, thanks for being here! I'm Amy, an integrative health coach and self-care enthusiast. I'm also a single mom of 3 teens & a dog and I love making sweet & healthy-ish recipes in my spare time. A favorite part of my day is when I get to help women take back control of their health and their life. That's why I'm here, to help you realize your full potential so you can own your days with more energy, gain confidence, feel AND look good in your skin and dig deep to figure out what healthy habits work best for you to live your next years as your best years.

Amy’s Wellness Journey
-
It was a long bumpy road, filled with white bread, canned vegetables, TV dinners & soda.
Don't get me wrong, my mom made dinner just about every night but back in the 80's, nutrition wasn't a topic like it is today, at least not in my family. I always stayed active as a kid but didn't discover the true benefits of good nutrition & exercise until later in my 30's. However, after my divorce in my early 40's I fell off track for about a year & went a little bonkers with emotional eating and drinking. I still worked out but more for my ego and less for my well being. I was depressed, tired, unmotivated and full of self pity. I also discovered I was going through early menopause. This discovery wasn't necessarily an overnight wake up call but it did force me to take a closer look at how I was living. I realized I needed & wanted to take better care of myself again and unlearn some habits and thought patterns that were not beneficial to me or my kids. I began a headfirst dive into all things self-development and self-care, including hiring my own life coach and eventually enrolling in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. My already established love for exercise and eating well combined with my new found love for all things self development aligned perfectly with what IIN was teaching.

Thankfully, today, at 50, my choices are a bit more balanced and more nutritious than in my younger years but still allows me to enjoy life the way I want. I love juicing everything and anything as well as a Tito’s with club every once in awhile. I like salads with greens and pizza with hot sauce. I know going to bed early might set me up for success, but there are still nights where I’m the last to turn out the lights. I'm happy to say, that all of this is OK! It's about balance. I’m on my own journey and I allow myself room to grow, learn and evolve. It's about progress over perfection. It's about being disciplined but also giving yourself grace. I’ve decided to find what works for me and what makes me feel my best without the need to be overly restrictive. What’s healthy for one person may not be healthy for the next. As a health coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition I know that no one way works for all. I am here to help you on your own health and wellness journey. I am here to listen and to support you toward a well balanced life throughout midlife and to provide encouragement and tips along the way. As your coach I want nothing more than to see you energized & thriving. I want to equip you with all the tools you need to keep showing up as your happiest and healthiest self!
NUTRITION
Nutrition plays a key role in our health but it doesn’t have to be all or nothing when it comes to healthy food. A balanced diet should be full of foods that bring you joy and makes you feel nourished and strong. It’s about moderation and common sense and of course it depends on each individual because we are all different.
MOVEMENT
Movement is vital to a healthy life. With so many ways to move, the possibilities are endless. From walking to biking to lifting and yoga and everything in between. When you find what you love then it becomes something you “Get” to do rather than something you “Have” to do.
MINDFULNESS
This is where mind, body & breath connect. There are so many simple ways to incorporate this into your life. And, believe it or not, mindfulness can play a role in weight loss and energy gains. This simple tool is easy to access anywhere at any time.

Sometimes committing to multiple days just isn’t possible. I get it and I’m still certain that this 90 minute call to discuss whatever it is you feel strongly about doing or learning can be beneficial in addition to 7 days worth of Voxer communication back and forth.
You decide on the focused topic you’d like guidance on before the call so that we can dedicate the entire 90 minutes to what will serve you best. Once the call is over, we will have 7 full days to communicate with each other. I will be available those 7 days to answer any questions, provide knowledge, tips and resources and ultimately to guide you and keep you accountable.
This is a great first step in building & creating healthy habits in midlife.

I’m Here to Tell You, It Doesn’t Have to be This Way.
I know many women who have attempted to improve their health, only to fall victim to the ideas of perfection or an all or nothing attitude. This usually leads to unhealthy habits or simply throwing in the towel. Over time, especially as I’ve aged, I started focusing on progress over perfection. I have found that taking small steps and making small changes leads to big results and causes a ripple affect in creating more positive habits.
As your health coach, I work with you from wherever you are starting on your journey. Together, we get to the root of whats draining your energy & holding you back from living your healthiest life. We dig deep and look at your health as a whole by using a mind & body approach. I help you to find the right strategy that gets you to your goals in the most efficient and sustainable way.
