I Am Your Health Muse:

Let Me Inspire You to Live Your Healthiest Life!

When I woke up in extreme pain 10 years ago, I decided not to live out my life on pills and in pain. I know how frustrating it is to seek medical care and be limited to a 5-minute appointment, not to feel heard, and after all, was said and done, to be told nothing was wrong with me. But I knew something wrong and set out to find it.

I changed. I researched. I learned. I implemented.

Change did not happen overnight, but each step I took was one step closer to how I wanted to feel.

I joined a yoga class to help relieve my stress. I learned breathing exercises because my cortisol was almost to Addison’s disease, and I knew I was in trouble.

I learned to eat differently. I knew I needed real live whole foods. That was almost like a no-brainer. I researched whether it needed to be organic, and what GMO meant. I made list of conventional food I would never buy when I went to the market and carried them in my purse.

I owned my health.

I figured out how to get a better night's sleep.

I started moving my body. I bought what I call my mini trampoline and started bouncing. (On a rebounder)

I even broke up with my 10-year significant relationship because he didn't want to change how he ate, even when I explained that I had no choice. I wanted to heal.

I went looking for a partner who wanted to go on a "Get Well Journey with me" and found my future husband. We have each taken different paths to wellness, but they have complemented each others journey back to health.

Why am I sharing all of this with you?

My mindset changed. I was not going to let anything get in my way. I hurt. Every muscle and every joint in my body hurt. And although my conventional MD had no idea what was wrong with me, I never stopped believing I could find answers and solutions.

And here I am today. Happy in my marriage with no pain. I wanted to help others so they did not end up like I did, in bed, scared and in despair, without a clue what to do to change it, and with an allopathic medical MD who didn't acknowledge that I was sick, let alone know hot to help me other than throwing pills at me.

I now know that I have autoimmune disease similar to fibromyalgia. I no longer have pain. I have gone from acute Type II Diabetes to pre-diabetes and no longer have a fatty liver. I have lost 65 pounds without dieting. Best of all, I feel great.

And if I could do it, you can do it too.

Why should you want me as your health coach?

For two main reasons:

1. You will be heard and valued if you come to me. I know the frustration of having pain and not being heard or valued by a conventional MD. So first, I will listen to you and then help you discover answers to your health issues.

2. And secondly, because I have been there. I had no idea what I was looking for 10 years ago when I started, and I have figured out where to find information, how to implement it, and how to get around or through any barriers that pop up in your way. As a result, I can help you implement healthier habits and recommend what will make you successful. And I have many happy clients who have returned to wellness with my assistance.

There are so many coaches around who are not experts. I have 10 years of research behind me, solving my health puzzles. When I returned to school to be a health coach at 67, it was to help others like you. I sold my jewelry business so that I could be all in.

I have attended over 40 health summits and listened to multiple functional and integrative doctors looking for my clues for health. In addition, I have been an avid reader of Functional and Integrative expert books.

I have two award-winning books on Amazon and Walmart.com that have won 25 awards combined.

I worked with a health coach and understand its value. I then found a Functional MD and a Naturopath to assist me in my wellness journey. I can be a liaison with your practitioners as I understand their different approaches. In addition I do lifestyle change, and that in itself can have a tremendous impact on your health and well-being.

I have explored holistic methods and used breathing, yoga, mindset, and exercise for my wellness.

I have experience with and have implemented all 20 of the pillars of health that I teach. (See my article on what these are.) These lifestyle habits make a difference in your health journey. I have explored many ways to implement and get results for each one.

I am fully committed to eating the organic rainbow and “clean” meat and have found solutions to most situations I have encountered to stick with that eating approach. I have a course that I teach quarterly with remarkable success with dozens of clients changing how people eat, and I have researched to explain why it’s so important for your future health.

I have 18 food sensitivities and have partnerd with Meridian Valley to test if sensitivities are on of your puzzle pieces.

Now at 74, I feel better than I did in my 50s. So I want you to know just how good it feels to feel good. And, I know that it is possible.

Who better to work with than someone who started at ground zero and learned and overcame all the obstacles to return to health? I have learned many tips that I can share to inspire you.

I have a proven track record and happy clients with results. So I will keep you focused on also getting results, hold you accountable to your goals, and make suggestions for you to succeed each step of the way. I want you to win.

Do you want to find a way to eliminate the unhealthy symptoms that are plaguing you? What are you willing to do to change your health and your life? Are you open to discovering a better way? Are you open to change? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

I do my best work with clients with Chronic Diseases. However, I have also had success with clients who want to implement healthier habits for their future health.

If you are considering trying my approach to regain your power over your health and want guidance, accountability, and compassionate suppoprt, your first appointment with me is free. I need to hear your health history. I need to know what you have tried that has and has not worked. I promise to “listen to your health history, and I will hear you.” I will ask you many questions. I have had people hug me after a session because, for the first time, they feel "heard" and are not crazy that they have all these crazy symptoms that conventional MD is poo-pooing.

If you decide to work with me, and if I believe that lifestyle changes can make a difference for you, we form a partnership to build your new path to health.

If you are proactive in changing and improving your health, and if you implement lifestyle changes, I recommend that we dig in at your pace. In a short time, you will begin to feel better. Of course, healing takes time, but your body will start to respond within weeks so that you know you are on the right track.

I am a researcher. My superpower is finding puzzle pieces for clients for their health.

This is an endorsement that I got from a client:

"Amazing, Amazing! Amazing! I want to say thank you and (big hugs). Your information may have saved my life. I’m 45 years old and have been struggling with unanswered symptoms for at least 5 years, and all conventional doctors want to do is wash me away with medication. You have saved some of the best years of my life with your information and coaching. Thank you so much.” ~Lisa

I am the right coach if you are considering a holistic approach to regain your power over your health.

Another endorsement

“Cheryl is an amazing health coach. We had no idea how much sugar and chemicals were in the food we were eating or how lousy we were truly feeling. My husband and I could have never broken the addiction to processed foods alone. But, after we succeeded, we were physically, emotionally, and spiritually in a much better place.

“We got some blowback from our adult children and grandchildren bout how we were eating differently.

Cheryl had suggestions every step of the way for us not to dictate to them but to stay firm with our commitment to our improved health. In the end, we became the influences of everyone else. everyone else. Now 4 of our 5 children are feeding their families whole organic foods from the rainbow, and they are all seeing shifts towards wellness.

“Thank you, Cheryl, for your tireless love and non-judgmental support.” Val

And another endorsement from a client:

“You are one of the MOST GENEROUS, loving, and informed people I know. You have singularly changed my understanding of foods, what is happening to our food and water sourcing, and my journey into a healthier lifestyle. I am still working on managing stress, but your breathing exercises make a big difference. My food and sleeping patterns are greatly improved. Thank you for being my health muse.” Emily

And another:

“As I try things, I trust Cheryl more and more. And I find my body changing. The biggest thing is my arthritis is better!!!!! I walk better. But I am not fast. (Falling didn’t do me any good.) And my gut is better. I know what to eat and what NOT to eat. And yes, I know if I cheat, I will pay for it. Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know these simple things. They want you to buy drugs and make them rich.

“I am telling you, eating organic is the best thing Cheryl has taught me. The weigh does not fluctuate so much.And when I remember to be Gluten Free, I lose weight easily.

“I also love love, love the belly button wand. I use it before bed and sleep better than in years.” ~ Joanie

I have worked hard to offer solutions through different holistic pathways. I have books and deep dive podcasts. I also have podcasts where I have interviewed others who have had a chronic illness, made lifestyle changes, and returned to wellness. I did those because I want to give you hope. You, too, can do this. In addition, I have 3 courses, Ditch the Standard American Diet, Food Quality Matters, and Foster a Healthy Lymph System, all of which are foundational for health. The next courses will be on the liver (I have reversed my fatty liver) and on how to lower your stress so that you can live long and thrive.

I can help you reach your goal if you hire me and are willing to commit financially and emotionally to the results.

Always keep your eye on the result, and then find a way. I will encourage you every step of the way.

If you are looking for someone to get you outside your box and think differently about health, someone who will help you make sense of the symptoms you are facing and that your body is communicating to you, someone who will show you a better way forward, let’s set up the complementary call. I have found solutions for all the things causing inflammation and disease in my body, and I would love to work with you to find yours.
