Let me introduce myself
Hello! I’m Lisa Heinbaugh (LPTA, CHC) founder and owner of Coaching Up Wellness. For the last 15 years, I have practiced as a Licensed Physical Therapy Assistant working in various healthcare fields. Over this time, I became frustrated with the pressure of treating patients under the restraints of productivity as well as the lack of education that patients had on their health. It really hit home when I, myself, was struggling with frequent illness, hormonal imbalances, and low energy. Multiple visits to doctors without root cause explanations and leaving only with multiple medication recommendations. It wasn’t until I discovered a Functional Medicine Practitioner that I experienced, in my opinion, a true wellness visit! My first consultation took over an hour. She took a deep dive into my whole body i.e. gut, sleep, stress, blood work, diet. After asking a lot of questions, she began making connections of my symptoms to what my body was lacking. Over the process of working with her, I was able to gain clarity as to the WHY I was feeling the way I did and also the HOW to CHANGE it. It was through this experience that lead me to pursue a Certification in Health Coaching with emphasis on Motivational Interviewing in 2019. In order to allow a Functional Medicine lens on my coaching, I also became enrolled in The School of Applied Functional Medicine (SAFM) for further certification completion in 2020.
My goal is to not to preach, not to finger point (all of us are in this together), but to walk beside you, coaching UP YOUR WELLNESS. Just feeling “okay” and “just surviving the day” is not how we were created to live! Let’s figure out what is mastering you in the wrong way and be set free into a new life of vibrancy and wellness!
