WHO IS MIKE?

Hello! You can call me Mike, and I'm glad you're here. If you're looking for Health Coaching, then you've probably experienced firsthand how unsatisfactory health can interfere with life and preoccupy your thoughts. It can affect homelife, work, relationships, finances, and hobbies, to name a few.

I have my Doctor of Chiropractic degree and Health & Wellness Coach Certification. I also have firsthand experience living with life-altering chronic illness. These past 10+ years have been a real struggle. They also have taught me lessons, given me wisdom, and helped me understand that people are just trying to do their best. I draw upon this combination of health sciences education, coaching training, and personal experience to help you through whatever challenge you're facing.

Prior to enrolling in chiropractic school, I enjoyed a career in higher education, helping students navigate the college experience and get the most out of it. Together, all my experiences up to this point make Health & Wellness Coaching an ideal way for me to live meaningfully as I continue on my own health journey alongside you.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

"Find Yourself. Find Your Health."

Sure, we can all probably eat a little better, exercise more, sleep more comfortably. Then why don't we? Often it's because deep down we have competing priorities we're not fully aware of.

No matter what brings you here, it is my mission to provide you with a safe place and guidance so you can clarify your priorities, develop a plan that fits your needs and desires, and experiment with ways to achieve it. We go at your pace, attempt what feels realistic, and build on successes to gain momentum. If we need to step back and reevaluate, then we do that. There is no judgment here. Rather than giving one-size-fits-all advice, my approach is grounded in curiosity and compassion.

Additionally, for those living with chronic illness...

My objective is dualistic: help you live a fulfilling life while striving for the health you deserve. It's easy to misunderstood by those close to you, and to not be taken seriously by your doctors. In addition to everything I had mentioned above, I can help you weigh treatment options, advocate for yourself among your family and healthcare providers, manage daily routines, and really figure out how to make the most of your life without losing sight of your health goals.

I get it. I'm doing it to. It can be draining to find the right path. Frequent setbacks or lack of progress can be discouraging, as well. I can help you strengthen the hope you need.
