Does this describe you?

• You’re struggling with not 1 but 2 or even more chronic conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, etc)

• You’re losing trust in your doctor and the healthcare system as a whole

• You’re doing everything your doctor tells you to and still not getting results

• You're missing out on work, social opportunities, traveling and other activities you desire due to debilitating symptoms and the limitations that come with them

• You’re feeling guilt because you can’t be the person you want to be

 Imagine if you could…

• Be in control of your symptoms instead of them controlling you

• Use food as medicine to reclaim your life and reduce symptoms like a boss 

• Get out of bed in the morning without dreading another day of symptoms that rob you of your joy for life 

• Feel more energized to be the mother, friend, daughter, self you were meant to be 

I want to help you be in control of your symptoms by having more good days than bad ones and having an arsenal of “tools” to throw at chronic illness when it rears its ugly head and tries to steal your joy.  Most importantly I want to help you get in tune with your body so you can learn to recognize and understand your body’s reactions and prevent them from occurring in the first place.   

How I approach your health

1. Embrace your Uniqueness

   You don’t have to be defined by your disease.  I work with all the factors that make you who you are today --  your history, body lifestyle, character strengths, etc.  I don’t try to put you in a box and use a “one-size-fits-all” approach.  

2. Root cause sleuthing

   There are likely many things that contributed to your symptoms, and they didn’t come about overnight.  We need to address as many of these as possible to help you get well.  There won’t be one single solution that will help you get well.  

What makes the program so successful?

I recognize you are unique!  What works for one doesn’t necessarily work for another.  I take the time to get to know you & your particular circumstances thus creating a therapeutic partnership.  I use a detailed system-based assessment that looks at all aspects of your history, health, lifestyle and more.  

There are 5 steps in my process:

1. Clear the “muddy waters”  -- using dietary & lifestyle changes to remove the top inflammatory culprits.  Reducing systemic inflammation (often the cause of many symptoms) helps us then be able to see what is “going on in there.”  Without this step, it’s hard to move forward with next steps, making these your “non-negotiables.”    

2. Deep Dive -- We work to identify your triggers (things that initiate your body’s reactions) and root causes through a detailed history of your past to present life.  This also sheds light on any deficiencies that may be present so we can work to bring them to sufficiency.  

3. Interconnections between presenting symptoms as well as between body systems -- it is a bit like the “Skeleton Dance” (remember that song from your childhood -- “your thigh bone is connected to your knee bone, and your knee bone is connected to your..”  Well it turns out our body systems are connected in much the same way -- “Your brain health is connected to your gut health, and your gut health is connected to your thyroid health…”  I look at these interconnections to begin to make corrections that will improve their environment.

4. Clear aspirations with matched behaviors -- I assist in clarifying your aspirations & matching specific behaviors for natural change so that you can have clarity on what it is you really want giving you magic powers to tackle ANY behavior.  Yep I said ANY behavior!!!  

5. Bespoke (Personalized & Customized) for you -- Again, embracing your uniqueness, everything I do is bespoke (customized & personalized) for you & your current situation and your life demands.  I’m always assessing, reassessing, and tracking to ensure what we’re doing is right for you.  

Testimonials

You’ve made it this far, you must be ready!

Marilee- “When my practitioner suggested I work with a health coach I reluctantly agreed as I have a lot of knowledge myself and didn't think I would gain much from the experience.  How wrong I was!  Working with Deborrah was a game changer on my health journey and I cringe when I think I almost chose not to take this step. 

Deborrah brings a lot of practical medical experience and a love of research that money can't buy.  Her ability and willingness to deep dive on different issues and bring back actionable information is a great asset.  She loves to expand her knowledge and is willing to change her recommendations accordingly.  This is a rare attribute in the health field. 

Deborrah's supportive and positive attitude towards helping me reach my goals met needs I didn't know existed.  I never felt judged when I slipped up and when I needed to take a much needed break from focusing on my health she was absolute in her support.  She meets you where you are and gently, with great compassion, coaxes you along your path.  I looked forward to speaking with her every time knowing it was the one place I felt truly free to share my frustrations and fears and well as my successes.  I completely underestimated how important it is to have someone so completely "in your corner". 

 Without reservation I recommend Deborrah as a health coach.  Her combination of knowledge, experience, insight and compassion makes her a standout in this area.”

Sheila -- “It took me well into our second visit to know how extensive Deborrah’s knowledge base was. Her coaching was very thorough and well-formatted. I was very comfortable with her, and she was very easy to talk to. She answered any questions I had with good, sound advice and suggestions. I liked hearing her personal experiences, and that they were similar to ones I had experienced. This made her coaching more sincere and shows she really cares. I was surprised and pleased with how closely and effectively Deborrah worked with my FM provider despite them being in different states. My knowledge base has been greatly improved and the support Deborrah provided was wonderful!!”
