Functional Wellness Coach
WE NOURISH YOUR HEALTH SO YOU CAN NOURISH YOUR LIFE.
Health coaching for busy moms and women who want to feel better without being overwhelmed. We harness the power of small shifts to create major transformation. Feel confident using food and nutrition as the foundation for a fulfilling life.
Hi, I’m Susan
My passion for health and wellness led me to become a Certified Functional Medicine Coach through the Institute for Functional Medicine and a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach.
Homemade food was always a big part of my family, which fueled my love of cooking. In turn, my love of cooking inspired me to explore food as medicine. That was the beginning of Well Nourished—we nourish your health with seamless swaps and easy-to-implement steps, so you can nourish your life.
And we go further than food, too. As a functional wellness coach, we look at you as a whole person and your 5 lifestyle factors: nutrition, sleep, stress, movement and community. I’ll guide you in evaluating each of these in your own life. Let’s talk, today.

I loved working with Susan to create a plan for easier, healthy meals for my family. Susan is so knowledgeable about nutritional health and incredibly creative in her approach. She understands the need to meet each client where they are on their journey and works with them to establish healthy habits that stick. An easy, laid-back approach to cooking, food, and general health is what worked for us.

Functional Medicine is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional Medicine involves understanding the origins, prevention, and treatment of complex, chronic disease.

Board Certified Health and Wellness Coaching now qualifies as a reimbursable expense under HSA/FSA accounts. If you're interested in receiving benefits under their HSA/FSA for HWC, you should consult your physician to discuss your medical treatment and care plan. If the physician decides that your condition warrants the support of a health and wellness coach, they may recommend that course of treatment. In this instance, we recommend a Medical Letter of Necessity be provided to record-keeping and claim submission. To receive reimbursement for an HSA/FSA, you need to follow the instructions outlined in your plan and contact the plan administrator with questions about submitting claims and receipts. Follow this link to the Medical Letter of Necessity to be completed by a doctor.

At Well Nourished, we try to uncover and address the root cause of disease, not just symptoms. Like integrative medicine, functional medicine takes a holistic approach, but it takes things one step further. The goal of functional medicine is to treat or optimize health by addressing the root cause of illnesses. For example, if you are experiencing headaches, we try to look at what could be causing these vs just taking a pill to relieve the symptom.

First things first: This is not a diet or workout program. We will be making small shifts in your lifestyle that make sense for you and that build on each other. Functional wellness coaching comes from a client-centered approach. I am here to help you explore the root cause of your symptoms, support and educate, and finally help you keep you accountable.
