About Traci

With over thirty years of medical experience, I am now bringing my enthusiasm for living a healthy and vibrant life to wellness coaching. As a board-certified pediatrician, my emphasis had been on working with parents to promote healthy diet, exercise and family dynamics, while empowering families to make choices promoting wellness. Unfortunately in a busy practice there often is not enough time to give lifestyle coaching it’s due.

Most fulfilled when helping others, this passion led me to a career in medicine. During my pediatric training, I started my own family. Now the mother of three adult children, I believe that the challenge of raising healthy vegan children was an invaluable education.

With increased rates of obesity, diabetes and early heart disease in children, I began to question the effectiveness of the classic “prescribe and treat” or “educate and implore” medical model. I lamented not being able to spend more time with parents to work with them to overcome the many obstacles preventing them from reaching their own and their family's wellness goals.

To better aid these families, I found myself focusing my studies on topics around wellness and lifestyle change. It was a natural progression and fit for me to transition into wellness coaching. My vision has always been to be an advocate for the clients’ health and wellbeing, and an ally to inspire and support their growth and development.

Happiest when moving out in nature or creating colorful meals, I am always striving for wellness and balance. It is my joy to share this with my clients. Nothing brings me more gratification than encouraging others on their path to vitality.
