All about Audra

As a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Reiki Master and Yoga Instructor, my purpose in this world is helping you find your best self and create the life you want. Often we get sidelined from our path and don’t know how to get moving again. Our current world is overwhelming with the needs of others, the constant noise of social media and the aggression of everyone trying to get ahead. Coaching around food and wellness while incorporating movement and reiki gives you support to be centered and calm so you hear your own voice above all the chaos. My desire is to help you reconnect to your own healing wisdom and offer you the inspiration you need to make incremental changes that add up to the transformation you crave.

I was in my 40s when I realized I had sat down on my path and hadn’t moved in quite awhile. I had gotten overwhelmed by my world as the main caregiver to two small children and wife to a husband with an extremely demanding job. I began early on to put all their needs above my own thinking this was how to be a good mother and wife. Honestly, the aggression of the world had become overwhelming and a part of me welcomed the chance to hide away.  I thought I was doing the right thing but in the end I realized I had given up on my dreams and was barely getting through each day with no personal passion or purpose. Through working with a coach, I began to shift that story. Within a year, I felt the lights come back on, my life had movement and excitement again. I took a yoga certification program, developed a spiritual practice and came back to my love of pottery. Bit by bit with support and encouragement, I transformed my world and began to live in it with purpose but also with a sense of wanting more- wanting to offer healing to others as I had received.

This transformation led me to look more deeply at each area of my life.  I was constantly exhausted with nagging gut issues and wasn’t able to do the work that I so desperately wanted to offer the world.  I began my journey with Functional Medicine with Kelly Kessen and haven’t looked back. After 6 months of committing fully to my health and happiness, I was full of energy and my gut felt better than it had in years. With that newfound energy I was able to look deeper at who I truly am and what I have always naturally offered those around me.  Deep study at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition gave me the platform I needed to provide support to others. I found my home- integrative health coaching  brings together everything I love- helping people find their path through what they eat, how they move, what they value, what they do and who they love. This is my passion and purpose in life- giving people the space, time and support to find the answers to why they’ve gotten stuck and how to get going again in a way that shines their light brighter than ever.
