At the Heart of Health, I take a holistic approach to wellness, addressing multiple aspect of my clients' life to help them achieve their goals. I provide the education, tools, and encouragement needed for sustainable health and well-being.
To bring forth change, we must address mindsets, attitudes, and routines to tap into the fullest potential of individuals and the community.
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever.”

I was a guest on The Culture Cure, a local podcast by Doris Agyemang where we discussed how different cultures, communities, and individuals approach wellness!
Health and Fitness Coaching
The time to start working on your health is right now. Health and fitness coaching provides guidance towards a healthy lifestyle that is balanced and dynamic.
With the right blend of science and humanity, we meet you where you are. Your goals guide how we adapt our coaching and training to fit your lifestyle. That’s right, your goals - you no longer have to keep trying to fit a mold that isn’t right for you.
Health coaching uses evidenced-based models to help you learn and challenge your health beliefs and goals. Coaching is a one-on-one experience that allow us to learn about you as whole person: meaning, we ask about more than diet and exercise. We believe in health at every size so you can stop waiting to live your best life until you lose that 50 pounds. You are worthy today to do the things that give you joy and fulfillment.
Fitness coaching is about improving your body’s ability to perform. We focus on finding an exercise routine that pushes your comfort. In the areas where you are uncomfortable is where you learn your body’s abilities and grow physical strength, mental strength, and endurance. Fitness coaching is a physical focus to health and wellbeing and include measurements like weight, body mass, heart rate, and VO2max.
Community-based health education classes are either free or low-cost and offered to specific populations. These classes are a great way to disseminate the most current health information and connect people to community-based resources. Classes are often in partnership with local organizations. We may collect information for research or reporting purposes, and they may be funded through grants.
Public Health Services
Public Health Contracting
Public health serves to make health and wellbeing accessible to all people and populations. We work directly with priority populations to understand their history, strengths, resources, and barriers to access care and wellbeing. Then, we help establish connections that create a more accessible system of care.
A public health contractor can help with grant deliverables that are on a temporary, short-term, or long-term basis. Our strong connection to the community and knowledge of public health and implementation strategies can assist your organization with immediate project needs. Contracts are typically 1 - 3 years.
Health Coach Training
Health coaches should use health behavior theory and evidence-based models to guide how they communicate with their clients. This training offers a deep dive into coaching models that allow clients to explore their health and facilitate provider rapport and trust. Learning is hands-on and adapts to the health providers who attend.

Worksites offer a diverse and wide reach to provide health and wellness education and services. Using framework from the Wellness Alliance, our Certified Worksite Wellness Specialist will assess your current workplace wellness program and work with you to enhance or rebuild your wellness strategy.
