Angela David is a Health & Wellness Coach, Registered Nurse (RN), and Master of Public Health (MPH) professional specializing in sustainable behavior change, stress management, and evidence-informed wellness practices for healthcare professionals and high-stress populations.
Her work integrates health coaching, public health principles, behavior change science, and nervous system-aware wellness practices to help clients build realistic, sustainable health habits within the demands of real life.
Angela has been teaching yoga since 2015 and later pursued advanced training in trauma-informed yoga, meditation, and iRest Yoga Nidra after recognizing the impact chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation can have on both physical and emotional wellbeing. Her approach is grounded, practical, and focused on helping clients develop sustainable systems for movement, recovery, stress management, nutrition, and overall wellbeing.
Through her experience working in healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, Angela witnessed firsthand the strain that chronic stress, burnout, fatigue, and inconsistent self-care place on healthcare professionals and caregivers. This experience deepened her commitment to prevention-oriented, sustainable approaches to health and wellness that support individuals in navigating high levels of stress.
Angela helps clients develop personalized strategies that can realistically be maintained under real-world stress and life demands. Her work emphasizes self-awareness, implementation, consistency, and long-term behavior change that aligns with each client’s actual capacity, values, and goals.
Angela is currently preparing for board certification through the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC). She is also a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500), Warriors at Ease Level 2 trained, and an iRest Yoga Nidra Level 1 teacher. Yoga and meditation are integrated thoughtfully within her work as supportive tools for nervous system regulation, resilience, and recovery.
Her work is especially supportive for healthcare professionals, caregivers, military-connected communities, and individuals seeking a more grounded, evidence-informed approach to long-term wellbeing.

Potawatomi, Ottawa, and Ojibwe (Chippewa) Native American tribes inhabited the Des Plaines River Valley before the Europeans' arrival. When French explorers and missionaries arrived in the 1600s in what was then the Illinois Country of New France, they named the waterway La Rivière des Plaines (English translation: "Plains River") as they felt that trees on the river resembled European plane trees. The first white settlers came from the eastern United States in 1833, after the 1833 Treaty of Chicago was negotiated, followed by many German immigrants during the 1840s and '50s. In the 1850s, the land in this area was purchased by the Illinois and Wisconsin Land Company along a railroad line planned between Chicago and Janesville, Wisconsin. In 1852, the developers built a steam-powered mill next to the river to cut local trees into railroad ties. Socrates Rand then bought the mill and converted it into a grist mill, which attracted local farmers. The Illinois and Wisconsin Railroad made its first stop in the area in the fall of 1854.
Des Plaines was reincorporated in 1873 and elected a village board the following year. Local brick manufacturer Franklin Whitcomb served as the first Village President. In 1925, village residents voted to convert to a city form of government and annexed the village of Riverview to the south. Subsequent annexations included the Orchard Place area in 1956. The city experienced rapid growth after World War II and with the opening of nearby O'Hare International Airport. In 1955, Des Plaines became the site of the first McDonald's franchise, which was torn down in 1984 and replaced by a museum the following year. The museum was demolished in 2018 after repeated flooding.
According to the 2021 census gazetteer files, Des Plaines has a total area of 14.38 square miles (37.24 km2), of which 14.24 square miles (36.88 km2) (or 98.98%) is land and 0.15 square miles (0.39 km2) (or 1.02%) is water. Des Plaines is traversed by two interstate highways – I-90 (the Northwest Tollway) and I-294 (the Tri-State Tollway).
Des Plaines is named for the Des Plaines River, which flows through it. The name is from 18th-century French referencing the American sycamore which resembles the European plane tree. Portions of Des Plaines are underlain by the "Des Plaines Disturbance," an area in which the layers of sedimentary rock are highly abnormal. This probably represents an ancient meteorite crater, 75 to 200 feet (23 to 61 m) beneath the town. The bedrock was highly fractured by the impact, with large blocks of sediment upended. The crater was eventually filled by glacial activity so that no trace now remains on the surface.
Addresses in the city limits of Des Plaines have their numbering system. Areas in unincorporated Maine Township have Des Plaines postal addresses that follow the Chicago numbering system. Devon Avenue in Des Plaines is 3200 South, while it is 6400 North in Chicago. Golf Road runs through a large unincorporated area as 9600 North with a Des Plaines mailing address but is 0 North/South when entering the Des Plaines city limits. As sections become incorporated, they take on the city numbering system. For instance, in 2003, land at 9661 West Golf Road, Des Plaines, became 2323 East Golf Road, Des Plaines, when it was formally incorporated into the city limits. The largest unincorporated areas are in the O'Hare area and east of the Tri-State Tollway.
