Oakland’s Health & Wellness Coach: Path to Healthy Living

 Hello! I’m Dee, and while I’m not a medical doctor and cannot offer medical advice, I hold a Doctorate in Business Administration and a Master of Education in Health and Wellness. My passion for learning, especially in the areas of health, wellness, and nutrition, has been a driving force in my personal and professional journey.

About 15 years ago, I found myself struggling with my weight, trying one diet after another. I’d lose ten pounds, only to gain back twenty. At my heaviest, I weighed 208 pounds. I realized that dieting wasn’t the answer—I could eliminate certain foods and lose weight temporarily, but once I returned to my old habits, I’d gain everything back, and then some. That's the cycle many diets create.

Determined for a lasting change, I shifted my focus from dieting to a sustainable approach to eating. By adopting a healthier lifestyle, I successfully lost and maintained a weight loss of over 35 pounds. 

The holistic techniques I used in this transformation are the same ones I now share with others through my health and wellness coaching.

I am passionate about food, healthy living, and empowering others to make lasting changes. I love cooking, baking, and reading books on nutrition and wellness. 

My approach is simple: healthy eating isn't about following a diet—it’s about making it a lifestyle. But, to make that shift, you must first develop the right mindset.

I’m excited to share my journey and coaching tips with you, and I look forward to helping you achieve your own health and wellness goals!

 In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our health often takes a backseat. It’s easier to grab food on the go than to prepare a nutritious meal at home. Unfortunately, many of us only realize the impact of these choices when it’s too late, and we find ourselves struggling with obesity or other chronic health issues.

As your health and wellness coach, I am committed to helping you make lasting, positive changes. I pride myself on providing high-quality service and personalized guidance to support your nutrition and well-being. Whether you are at home or on the go, location is never an obstacle for us to work together virtually.

By using a variety of proven techniques, I aim to help you overcome challenges and develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. 

My coaching focuses on the following key areas:

• Weight management and sustainable weight loss
• Adopting a healthier, balanced diet
• Prioritizing self-care and wellness
• Cultivating a positive mindset
• Managing stress effectively
• Achieving a better work-life balance

My ultimate goal is to empower you to embrace a healthy lifestyle—one that supports your physical, mental, and emotional well-being for years to come.

As your health and wellness coach, my vision is to guide you toward living a vibrant, fulfilling life where you truly thrive. You were created with care, intentionally and wonderfully made, and you deserve to live in a way that reflects the beauty and potential within you. This journey is not about perfection or conforming to how others think you should look or live. It’s about how YOU feel—strong, confident, energized, and at peace with your body and mind.

Together, we will focus on creating lasting changes that go beyond temporary fixes or short-lived diets. My goal is to empower you to embrace a healthier lifestyle that fits your unique needs and aspirations. This isn’t just about physical health; it’s about nurturing your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being as well.

We’ll work to cultivate a positive mindset, prioritize self-care, and build habits that support your health for the long term. I believe that wellness is not a destination but a way of life—a journey of small, consistent steps toward becoming the best version of yourself.

This newfound mindset and lifestyle will not be for a day, a week, or even a month. It will become YOUR sustainable solution to healthy living. You’ll learn to make choices that uplift your spirit, nourish your body, and align with your values. And as we work together, you’ll discover the confidence, tools, and support needed to continue thriving long after our coaching sessions end.

Imagine waking up each day feeling vibrant, energized, and ready to take on the world. That’s the vision I hold for you—a life of vitality, joy, and well-being. The journey begins with a single step, and I’m here to walk that path alongside you, every step of the way.
