I work with clients to uncover and address the root causes of their health concerns (diet, toxicity, stress, infection, etc.) in order to support them back to health. I use a comprehensive, individualized, supportive approach recognizing that each of us is unique. I am passionate about educating individuals and groups to take ownership of their health by making informed lifestyle choices that lead to vibrancy rather than dysfunction. I aim to raise awareness about modern day factors that are contributing to an epidemic of chronic disease. I believe that we are truly at a tipping point in terms of the health of our species and the future of the much larger web of life that surrounds us and that we must learn to live our lives and interact with nature in ways that support life, rather than destroy it.

Courtney shober, Downtown Wellness Berks Program Chair
Location: Reading
Categories: Integrative Health Coach, Personal Development, Healthy Eating Habits, Presentations & Seminars
As a health coach, I help my clients evaluate their current habits and the many integrative aspects of their well-being. We then work together setting realistic, attainable, incremental action steps to reach and exceed their goals. I guide them to become more aware of their own body and its ability to heal itself. We discuss how to make more beneficial decisions that will enhance their vitality and quality of life. The causes that lead to a lack of health are multi-faceted as is the path back to ideal wellness. Good health is an on-going process and some people need support & accountability to make positive changes in their lives. My aim is to not only improve the physical and mental health of my clients but create an opportunity for them to empower themselves with a set of functional, lifelong tools that allow them to maintain well-being and gain confidence by (re)discovering a more vibrant, authentic sense of self.
