Stephanie Staples, PA, FMCHC, NBC-HWC

My passion for health and wellness was ignited in childhood as an athlete. I began my journey in Nutrition Services at a hospital during high school and spent my senior year in a Health Occupations course, gaining invaluable experience alongside a Physician Assistant in Primary Care.I earned a Bachelor of Medical Science and completed my Physician Assistant Degree at Saint Louis University, graduating in 1999. My career spanned Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Surgery, where I witnessed the profound impact of lifestyle choices and nutrition on health. This inspired me to further my education and transition into a new career as a Health Coach.In 2020, I graduated from the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, in collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine, becoming a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach (FMCHC). I also obtained my National Board Certification through The National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches (NBC-HWC).As your Health Coach, we will work together to establish a true client-coach partnership. You will feel empowered to achieve your desired lifestyle changes and reach the health you deserve. I provide encouragement, accountability, support, and resources every step of the way, with mindfulness, hope, and compassion as the foundation for lasting change.
