Hi, I'm Rosanne.

I'm a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC) with a background in education and psychology and more than 20 years of experience supporting people as they navigate change.

My path to health coaching grew out of a longstanding interest in how people think, what motivates them, and what helps them turn their intentions into lasting changes.

It was also shaped by experiences in my own life.

My experience with cancer changed the way I thought about my health. I began to appreciate that taking care of myself wasn't simply about preventing illness. It was also about having the health and energy to participate fully in my life.

Later, caring for my mother as she lived with Alzheimer's disease deepened that perspective. It made me think more about aging, brain health, and what it means to live well throughout our lives.

These experiences helped shape my decision to become a health coach and pursue additional training in functional medicine, brain health, menopause, stress and resilience, and behavior change.

They also reinforced something I believe deeply: Taking care of our health isn't just about how long we live. It's about how well we live.

To me, that means having the health and capacity to do what matters most, stay connected to the people we care about, and continue finding enjoyment, meaning, and purpose throughout our lives.

I believe you are the expert on your own life.

You bring your own experiences, values, strengths, priorities, and understanding of what is realistic for you. My role is to help you build on those strengths, clarify what matters to you, and find practical ways to move forward.

You may already know what you want to change but struggle to follow through. You may have a personalized health plan or recommendations from a healthcare professional that you're finding difficult to put into practice. Or you may simply want to feel better and take a more active role in your health and well-being.

Wherever you're starting, we'll work together to identify meaningful goals, explore what's getting in the way, and develop realistic habits and routines that fit your life.

In addition to my private coaching practice, I work as a Healthy Mindset Specialist in intensive cardiac rehabilitation at a major teaching hospital.

In that role, I coach patients one-on-one and provide education and workshops on topics including habit change and goal setting, healthy mindset, sleep, stress reduction, and mindfulness.

Working with people who are making lifestyle changes following a significant health event has reinforced something I see again and again:

Knowing what is good for our health and actually making it work in everyday life are two very different things.

That's one of the places health and wellness coaching can make a difference.

Health is about more than the absence of disease.

The way we feel and function is influenced by many interconnected parts of our lives—movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, relationships, our surroundings, community and belonging, purpose, mindset, and more.

That's why I don't believe everyone needs the same plan or needs to work on every area of health at once.

What matters is what matters to you.

Health and wellness coaching gives you a place to consider what you actually want for yourself, and begin taking steps toward it—with support along the way.
