About Patty
I'm a Family Nurse Practitioner and health coach with more than 15 years of healthcare experience and a background in health promotion, preventive care, and metabolic health. I specialize in helping people improve their nutrition, manage weight, build strength, and develop sustainable habits. My coaching combines science-backed guidance with a realistic, supportive approach because I believe getting healthier should fit into your life, not take it over.
My approach combines evidence-based nutrition and fitness strategies with realistic, individualized coaching. I believe lasting progress comes from understanding the "why" behind your choices, building sustainable habits, and learning how to navigate real-life challenges.
We'll work together to set achievable goals, track progress, celebrate wins, and make adjustments when needed. My goal is to help you become confident and capable of maintaining your progress long after coaching ends.
My why
After many years of working in healthcare, I realized that so many people know they need to make changes but struggle to figure out how to make those changes stick. I wanted to be part of helping people before their health became a crisis.
I'm also a wife, mom of three, and someone who understands that life doesn't always leave much room for perfectly planned meals and workouts. I've learned that consistency matters far more than perfection, and that our approach to health needs to change as life changes. I love helping people discover that improving their health doesn't have to mean completely overhauling their lives. Sometimes the smallest, most realistic changes lead to the biggest long-term impact.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been expanding my career from treating health problems to helping people prevent them. I incorporate some form of coaching into nearly every patient interaction because I believe education, encouragement, and helping people understand the "why" behind their choices are essential to lasting change.
Throughout my career, I've helped develop wellness programs, provided education on nutrition and metabolic health, and supported individuals working toward healthier lifestyles. I'm also continually expanding my knowledge through ongoing education in fitness, wellness coaching, and lifestyle medicine. I believe being a great coach means remaining a student of the science while never losing sight of the person behind the numbers.
