About The Health Coach
Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach
For Gut and Brain Health
Taking Away The Overwhelm, And Leaving You Well
For a long time, it felt like each new year of my life brought a new diagnosis.
Even from a young age, I consistently struggled with health issues. For years I had migraine headaches, severe seasonal allergies, chronic sinus infections, ADHD, an autoimmune disease, poor digestive health, and much more.
And as I aged, even more stressors and challenges began to add on to that. After difficult pregnancies and now being a married mom of 3, I also became the primary caregiver for an aging parent with early onset Dementia.
Every day I was overwhelmed, drowning in stress as my health continued to deteriorate. My poor gut health began affecting my ability to enjoy life and my worries of getting Alzheimer's or Dementia like my parent paralyzed me with fear.
Finally, I decided that I’d had enough. It was time that I started putting my own health first.
Now, that I'm in my mid-40's, I wouldn’t even recognize my 30 year self. My health and quality of life is better than any other time in my life.
I became inspired to return to school to become a health and wellness coach. Now, it is my mission to support individuals and their unique health goals. While I coach all areas of health, I have a special interest in gut health and preventing and reversing cognitive decline.
Working With A Health Coach
As one of the first 3,000+ certified health coach professionals by the National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coaches (NBC-HWC), excellence is the standard I strive by. The NBC-HWC is the profession’s highest standard and is based on extensive research, training, education, and assessment and is the basis of my goals-oriented health coaching practice.

- A teacher and educator, inspiring clients with a goal oriented approach to health coaching.
- I am not going to diagnose, treat, or prescribe.
- A listening ear, ready with a compassionate word to hear where you are in your health journey and meet you where you are at.
- Focused on your bio individuality, working with you to establish a plan unique to your needs.

- You are not someone who is just looking for quick solutions, but rather lasting, sustainable changes.
- Ready to commit. You understand that it takes time and effort to find lasting wellness and are willing to put in what it takes.

"Health and wellness coaching is not a job for Jill, it’s a calling. She approaches health with a holistic perspective, and teaches powerful methods to bring mindfulness and awareness to the foods we eat. Jill helped me find balance not only with my nutrition, but with my overall lifestyle – which led to a rejuvenation in my life. Jill helped me clarify my wellness goals, and provided a personalized strategy to attain them. My experience with Jill has been extremely positive, life-changing and rewarding! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for help with daily nutritional health and overall wellness."
