About
My Story
For the last 25 years I have been working as a marketing consultant in the healthcare industry and dedicated both my professional and personal growth to helping others through transformation. Whether that is promoting a product/service, organizing an event, or caring for a friend or family member in need, I have a passion for coaching those who are spiritual and eager to make positive and healthy changes in their lives.
As a holistic health coach with a specialty in hormone health and weight loss, I honor my client’s awareness of the many levels of personal change involved in every life transition from a physical, mental, and spiritual perspective. My own journey started with a health scare causing me to pursue a new lifestyle, fitness routine, and nutritional plan for myself and family.
As I reached my early 50’s, facing a health challenge of very high cholesterol and a history of heart disease, I decided it was time to change the way I nurtured my body. Through Hay House and a Wayne Dyer radio show, I was introduced to Pam McDonald, Nurse Practitioner and Founder of the APO E Gene Diet and the best-selling book, The Perfect Gene Diet. This comprehensive work by Pam reveals the latest breakthrough in health and nutrition focusing on the APO E gene, which affects cholesterol levels, heart and Alzheimer’s disease, and much more. Through only six months of her health coaching program, my cholesterol is well within normal levels and I feel better than ever. By following her nutritional, exercise, and mindfulness plan for my specific gene type, it has literally changed my life.
As far as my credentials and life experience, I am an engineer by education with a master’s degree in business administration so have worked with both large and small companies and people of varying professions. Most of my career has been spent in project management so I have a strong background with setting and achieving goals, organizing and implementing programs, and training others to grow and succeed. I have a certification in health coaching through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and a separate certification in hormone health. I also hold a certification in life coaching through Alan Cohen’s Foundation for Holistic
Life Coaching.
My home is in the Boston area where I live with my husband and 2 teenage boys. I am in my element when cooking healthy meals for my family and friends, reading and spending time in nature especially in the mountains hiking, kayaking, and skiing.
Debbie’s husband Dave is also involved with the coaching business and together they do a podcast called Welcoming Wellness and Wisdom. Dave is an engineer by training and has worked in various technical sales and marketing roles throughout his career. Along the way, he discovered that optimizing his health and maintaining a rigorous exercise program keeps him strong and physically fit. In his spare time, he enjoys running, hiking cross country skiing and organic gardening.
