BUSINESS PROFILE Master Your Wellness with a Health Coach

You have a financial planner, a personal assistant, and even a personal trainer but, if your goal is "quality of life," do you have a health coach yet?

SOLUTIONS

How often have you been to doctor after doctor with concerns about general symptoms? You explain you're not sick but are experiencing stress, fatigue, or digestion difficulties, which might point to any one of a host of health concerns. Now, Flourish Nutritional Therapy & Health Coaching may have answers.

Owner Heather Hanson is a local Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach working to get to the root cause of those symptoms. As an RMA, who has also been let down by traditional medicine, Heather is eager to help clients figure out the reason for their diminished quality of life, then create a plan of action. "I love empowering people to take back their health," she says. "As a nurse, I saw people in their 30s blaming their lack of wellness on getting old. Those things are not normal at that age and I was frustrated to see them given a bunch of medicine and still not feel well."

"HUMANS ARE NOT MEDICINEDEFICIENT. WE DON'T NEED TO BE ON SO MANY PHARMACEUTICALS TO BE HEALTHY."

Heather's process begins with a free 15-minute evaluation. "I get a full history, literally," she says. "I ask about a client's life since birth and pull clues together to see what might have gone awry, and when, in his or her health life. Then we figure out what we need to do, together, to be well."

GETTING BACK TO WELLNESS

Heather's methods focus on teaching clients the magic—how to eat and exercise, restore digestion absorption, reduce the impact of stress, and increase things that make the body work effectively, like sleep, exercise, and hydration. "The human body is complicated, so I determine what is going on for each client, what he or she needs to become well, and create a plan based on that need."

She acknowledges and understands that not everyone is ready for immense change; "It's not about never having chocolate cake again. We can take baby steps because each plan must be something the client will sustain long-term."

She also believes strongly in holistic gut health and provides advanced testing for mold exposure, stool sampling (to study metabolism and microbe balance), and food sensitivity.

"I want to connect with people, create a plan for healing, and give them hope."

TRANSFORMATION

Heather typically works with clients from three months to one year, and makes herself available to them as often as they feel comfortable. "I get my clients on a good roll and help as much as they need to figure out their plans. I understand the frustration of people who are not feeling well, and I always provide the care I, too, wish I could get at the doctor's office."
