Hi!  I'm Izzie.

I’m a functional medicine certified health coach, business coach, and behavior change expert with a passion for helping people create sustainable lifestyle changes. I specialize in working with people who want to optimize their health as they age, as well as business owners and entrepreneurs looking to balance work, health, and purpose.

My mission is to help you maximize your health -and your life - so that you can flourish in body, mind, and spirit!  

I began working in the health and wellness industry in the 1990’s as a certified personal trainer, fitness and yoga instructor.  Wearing leotards and leg warmers to work was a perk, but I really fell in love with helping people become the best version of themselves.  I was passionate about going deeper than the workout plan and evoking a mindset shift that delivered real health results.

In 2004, I expanded on this work at a local YMCA, furthering my passion for helping individuals and their families to live healthy and balanced lives. In 2011, I accepted a position at an Area Agency on Aging, developing programs and services to help seniors age well. As the Executive Director for Aging Services, I had the honor of affecting state policies on aging and developing innovative programs to help seniors remain independent, healthy, and vibrant members of their communities.

I have an in-depth understanding of the health care crisis in our nation and how it negatively impacts all of us as we age. I combined three decades of professional experience into programs designed to help you avoid and combat chronic disease and to increase your health span and longevity.

Did you know that chronic disease accounts for 70% of deaths in the U.S.?

Shockingly, the number of individuals aged 50+ with chronic diseases is projected to increase 99% by 2050.

What's even more alarming is that these diseases can often be prevented and are NOT a “normal” part of aging!

Functional Medicine Certified Health Coaching:  Working with me is an individualized experience! Together, we will explore every facet of your unique circumstances, values, strengths, and vision for your life.  My 8-dimensional model includes assessments and evidence-based protocols to guide you on your journey to optimal health and well-being.  This process can help you achieve lasting results that free you from relying on motivation and will-power to reach your goals.  We will sort through confusing and inaccurate information to discover real health and lasting change from the inside out.

Collaborative Health Model:  In addition to personalized coaching, I am uniquely positioned to partner with your health practitioner as a part of your collaborative health team.  While it is not a requirement to include your physician, this model will provide you with comprehensive health care, support, and guidance. Your doctor will focus on testing, diagnosis and prescriptive measures; while I help guide you through your individual circumstances to implement protocols to create real health. This experience is distinctive to Functional Medicine Health Coaching.

Career & Corporate Wellness Coaching: I have combined my experience as an Executive Director and long-time business leader with my passion for health to help people develop their careers while maintaining balance, a healthy lifestyle, avoiding burn-out and dissatisfaction. Great leaders care for themselves so they can care for others. Using Functional Medicine principles, this training goes beyond the workplace, into the community, and our families. A truly life changing experience. Go to my services page to learn more about career coaching.
