Nancy’s science-based coaching is founded on functional medicine, a new model of health care that seeks to get to the root causes of disease. She uses functional nutrition principles, positive psychology, and mind-body techniques, supporting you in looking and feeling your best.
Nancy is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. She is part of the first group of roughly a thousand coaches to pass the exam in September 2017. The test is administered by the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaches. She is also a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and studied Reversing Cognitive Decline for Health Coaches, also known as the Bredesen Protocol.
Nancy hosts the monthly Functional Forum meetup for the New Orleans Functional Medicine Community (@neworleansfunctionalmedicine).

She studies the work of a variety of functional medicine doctors and experts to provide you with the best, custom coaching, particularly for chronic illness.
Nancy is passionate about helping others improve their health.
