Hi! I’m Anne.

I am a Registered Nurse and Health Coach with special training in Functional Medicine which is a holistic, healthy lifestyle, root-cause approach to health and well-being. As a Health Coach, I specialize in behavior change with a positive psychology approach. I partner with my clients to co-create individualized plans to improve their mental well-being which I believe is the cornerstone to living an authentically happy and healthy life. My coaching style (and mantra for life) could be best summed up by a quote from Brené Brown:

Strong Back, Soft Front, Wild Heart!

While working in a fast-paced hospital setting helping people through their most vulnerable and challenging times, I realized just how important mental and emotional well-being was for my patients and myself. I found myself detaching from reality and using distraction as a coping mechanism. I loved being a nurse and helping people and at the same time, I could feel I was starting to become the “B” word…Burnt out! I was tired all the time, struggling with chronic pain, and basically just going through the motions of life. I knew I needed to make some changes so I started seeking out ways to decompress and find deeper connections to myself and others. Through this journey, I have studied and practiced Healing Touch (energy therapy), Meditation, Guided Imagery, Yoga, Breathwork, Mindfulness, EFT tapping, HeartMath, VIA Character Strengths, and Lifestyle Medicine. Through my training in Functional Medicine, I also learned how our physical bodies play a significant role in our mental well-being through chemical imbalances and inflammation for example and how making lasting healthy lifestyle changes can make a huge difference in our mood. Putting all of these techniques together, I have learned to be more present in the moment, navigate inevitable tough times with more grace and compassion, cultivate more meaningful relationships, and find balance!

Life will always have its twists and turns; I believe with the right support and resources we can learn to keep our balance while leaning into life with our whole heart and soul. My mission is to help others along their journey so they can do the same and together, we will make this world a better place.

You are strong and brilliant and perfect just the way you are AND you are not an army of one. No one can do it all on their own, which is why I am here to help. Let’s partner together!
