Hello! I’m Pamela…
Certified Holisitic Health Coach

We all have a story… our story.

A compilation of our life experiences, our relationships, our challenges, our pain, our belief systems, our faith and our joys and triumphs. Our stories often lead us to unexpected places. Here’s a bit about where my story has and continues to lead me…

You would probably consider me one of the lucky ones. I had what many would consider an idyllic childhood. I came from a large, intact family. Grew up in a lovely town. Had great friends. Went to great schools. Had a bright future ahead of me. Throughout my childhood, I never gave food a second thought. I was always a normal weight. Most of my meals growing up were homemade. Yes, we had treats and snacks in our home, but that’s what they were, treats and snacks. I didn’t binge eat or binge drink or binge exercise. Food was not a friend or a comfort or the enemy, it was just food.

But, over the years, stress took its toll. Damaging to the body and mind, stress changes how we not only relate to food, but how our body processes what we feed ourselves. A life-threatening illness developed by my father while I was in junior high school. College. Emotional trauma. Difficult pregnancies. Gynecological scares. Ten years of parent care as both of my parents suffered chronic illnesses and passed away. Mold exposure. And finally, the traumatic death of my seventeen year marriage. These stresses manifested in a multitude of health concerns over the years: anorexia and bulimia, binge eating, binge exercising, depression and IBS. Life felt hard and my body began betraying me.

Searching for answers, I visited many physicians over the years. Their advice and counsel was frequently similar, “you’re just getting older”. How could that be?? I found that explanation incredulous… This could not possibly be how I was supposed to feel at this point in my life. With a family history of cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, arthritis, autoimmune conditions, addiction and mood disorders, I began to realize that I might be headed for similar fates if I didn’t act. I needed to become my own advocate, take responsibility for my own health and find answers.

Today, as a result of working with skilled integrative practitioners and through knowledge gained in my own health coach training, I am reaching new levels of health. I am evidence that stable weight, abundant energy, elevated mood, sound sleep, balanced hormones, a fit body and a clear mind are attainable. My purpose now is to share my experiences and knowledge with you; so that you, too, can rediscover your most Vibrant Self!
