Who I am
Hi, I’m Maureen, your holistic health coach.
I’m a wife and a mother of 2 boys who are growing up way too fast. I’m a proud sports mom and active school volunteer, so life around here is usually pretty fast paced. Like a lot of people our age (let’s not say middle aged 😜), I know what it feels like to spend so much time and energy taking care of everyone and everything else that you’re left with very little for yourself.
My interest in holistic health was a gradual one. I think I’ve always had a natural interest in health and wellbeing. I’ve enjoyed exercising at home or being a guest with friends at their gyms starting all the way back in high school. I find the human body and how it works so fascinating, and I’ve always strived for optimal health. Unfortunately, until recently, I don’t think I really knew what that truly meant.
My first “real” job was as a medical assistant in my 20s before I began staying at home with my kids. As much as I enjoyed being around health and healing, I knew going back to that job was not the move for me. Through a series of unexpected moments, I stumbled upon holistic health and then started researching it more deeply. I began taking courses, reading books, and truly learning the concepts.
The more I learned, the more I realized there is so much more to wellness than just one approach to health. Our bodies often have an incredible ability to support wellness and function better when we give them the care, attention, and healthy habits they need.
That journey also encouraged me to take a more honest look at my own habits and health and realize I wasn’t caring for myself as well as I thought I was. It pushed me to make changes and take time for myself—small changes at first, which is where I still am today, with more learning and growth to come.
My goal is to continue creating more balance and whole-person wellness in my own life while also helping support others in doing the same.
That is really where The Wellness within came from. I truly believe there is wellness within all of us, even if it looks different from person to person. Most of us could feel healthier, more balanced, and more supported in some areas of our lives, even if we don’t always know where to begin. That is part of the process.
Through holistic wellness coaching, I help create realistic habits that support their nutrition, lifestyle, mindset, and overall wellbeing.
I’m passionate about helping people discover and nurture the “wellness within” themselves through gentle, supportive, and realistic lifestyle changes that help them feel healthier, more balanced, and more connected to themselves.
I’m a certified sound therapist, breathwork facilitator, life coach, and Hatha yoga enthusiast with certified training in holistic health. I’m still actively living and integrating this work every day—learning, growing, and finding new ways to create a healthier, more aligned life for myself. My hope is to help you do the same.
My Approach
Wellness that works with your life is the foundation of my coaching.
The goal behind The Wellness within is simple: create a supportive, realistic approach to health that fits into your actual life.
I believe wellness is about looking at the whole person—not just separate parts and pieces. How we nourish ourselves, move our bodies, manage stress, connect with others, and care for our overall well-being all play a role in how we feel.
Real health is built through small, meaningful habits that add up over time. It’s not about perfection, quick fixes, or completely changing who you are overnight. It’s about understanding where you are, creating awareness around what may feel out of balance, and taking realistic steps toward feeling healthier, more energized, and more connected to yourself.
A Sustainable Approach to Wellness
Health is not a straight line. There will be seasons of progress, challenges, and adjustments—that is simply part of being human.
My approach is centered around creating sustainable changes that feel manageable and supportive. Together, we’ll explore your lifestyle, your goals, and the areas where you would like to feel better. From there, we’ll focus on realistic habits and small shifts that can become part of your everyday life.
Wellness should not feel overwhelming. It should feel supportive, personal, and achievable.

A Collaborative & Supportive Philosophy
As a holistic health coach, my role is to support your wellness through non-medical, holistic approaches that encourage balance, awareness, and improved quality of life.
I do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medications, or promise cures for disease. My services are designed to complement, not replace, conventional medical care.
I encourage all clients to continue working with their physicians and healthcare providers, and I will always refer out when concerns fall outside my scope of practice. Your safety and well-being always come first.
