Whitney Adams

Welcome! I am so excited you're interested in having me join your journey as you aim to steward your health to live life well with purpose and intention.As a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, my desire is to help shoulder the burdens of everyday life, which can sometimes be the true source of our health challenges. Before working as a health coach, my career was in pediatrics as a Certified Child Life Specialist where I worked with children and their families to navigate and overcome the stressors that came from hospitalization, trauma, chronic illness, grief, and the toll of living in a fallen world. It wasn't until severe burnout, compassion fatigue, grief, and random symptoms wreaked havoc throughout my own body that I began to understand that living with purpose and on mission for God required more than a fad diet and unsustainable exercise program. I now know it requires diligent stewardship of mind, body and spirit. You have a unique story. One that may have caused your health to take the back burner and leave you discouraged and confused on the very next step. Let me tell you, friend, there is a way forward. Let's discovery it together.Philippians 3:13, "Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead."THE PROCESS & MY APPROACH:Health coaching takes a client-centered approach where we will build a positive relationship of trust and mutual understanding. It's a space that is safe, free of judgement and where your story is heard.The way we connect is whatever you’re most comfortable with; phone, video chat, or in person if you’re local.In our first session, we will focus on your unique health story and the goals that brought you to coaching. We will examine all aspects of wellness, and identify areas that you feel are out of balance or have become neglected. Some of the areas we may explore include: nutrition, stress, sleep quality, exercise/movement, and relationships. As we narrow our focus on an area of desired growth, I will come alongside you to co-create attainable and realistic action-steps to reach your goals.Each time we meet, I will be a source of accountability and support. We will celebrate even the smallest areas of growth and together, problem-solve to help you overcome barriers and stay on track.Working with a health coach might be right for you if:you want to get unstuckyou'd like to better manage stressyou want to feel like yourself againyou received a doctor's health planyou want to set a better example for your familyyou feel like your body is trying to tell you somethingyou just need some accountability to achieve your wellness goalsyou want living a healthier lifestyle to be simple instead of complicatedyou feel overwhelmed by the immense amount of health information out thereyou are interested in learning more about functional medicine lifestyle change**Contact me for a FREE 20 minute discovery session to see if health coaching is right for you!Email:whitney@whitneyadamswellness.comphone: 419.960.5771
