Debbie has been an RN working in OBGYN for over 25 years. Although she absolutely loved helping women through their pregnancies and births, she has always had a passion for helping people of all ages get healthy through lifestyle and nutrition choices.
Her passion for optimal health began as a personal quest when she developed IBS, auto-immune thyroid disease, and chronic fatigue in her 30’s. Around the same time, Debbie saw family members dealing with weight issues, diabetes, and other health problems related to life-style habits. She was determined to seek out the root cause of these illnesses and make the changes necessary to feel her best and avoid falling victim to her genes. She found health and vitality through a clean, whole food diet, eliminating the foods that caused inflammation, and by reducing stress through yoga and meditation. She knows, first-hand, that change isn’t easy, but the results are worth the effort.
Debbie received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing through the University of Detroit Mercy and her certification in Nutrition Coaching through Precision Nutrition. She works with clients one-on-one to help them become the healthiest versions of themselves. Her clients use ProCoach, a proven Nutrition Coaching program based on scientific research on habit-based coaching.
