About Lionheart
Health Coaching
Lionheart
noun: a person who is brave and determined.
Lionheart Health Coaching offers 1:1 virtual coaching with a certified health and wellness coach. Using a holistic and integrative approach, the sessions are centered around a client’s well-being.
Putting your health first can yield long-term results but getting started can be difficult. It takes courage and bravery – just like a lion. Change is hard, otherwise, everyone would do it. It requires you to step outside your comfort zone but results in growth. Think about it, there’s no comfort in your growth zone but no growth in your comfort zone. This is not an absence of fear, but a willingness to change. Throughout the process, clients are empowered to create meaningful and sustainable change.
The name pays homage to the founder’s brother, who passed away unexpectedly in a tragic accident. The lion was his favorite animal because it fears nothing but has a heart of gold. He lived his life by the bible verse, Proverbs 30:30, “A lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing,” and he shortened this to a motto in his own words, “Be a Lion”. This mantra embodies bravery and courage, even in the midst of fear and uncertainty.

MEET YOUR COACH
Hi, I’m Kelsey!
I hold many roles in my life – mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, fitness instructor, and health coach. You’re probably here because you’re interested in my role as a health coach, and if you sign up for a session with me, we won’t talk much about me, but it’s important to know a little bit about the person you’re putting your trust in to work with.
✳WHO AM I?
I am a dedicated and Certified Health and Wellness Coach with a passion for longevity. After spending 13 years as a senior marketing leader in the long-term care industry, I witnessed firsthand how healthy lifestyle behaviors can impact aging. I’m a firm believer in building healthy, sustainable habits that pay off in the long run. I’m also an inspiring teacher at The Bar Method and love connecting with clients on their fitness journeys. I’m still the motivated, detail-oriented, and relationship-focused marketer I once was but now I’m harnessing the power of behavior change and pairing it with my passion for health & wellness in a new way.
✳WHAT DO I DO?
As a behavior change expert, I work with individuals to build sustainable new habits that will enhance their well-being and allow them to intentionally live a thriving life. I hold a mindful and non-judgmental space for clients to express their health & wellness desires, goals, barriers, and challenges. My strong background in nutrition, exercise science, and behavior change has resulted in a proven track record of helping clients achieve their goals. By using motivational interviewing, SMART goal-setting, and appreciative inquiry, I empower clients to make healthy lifestyle changes.
✳WHAT IS MY EXPERTISE?
I am a Certified Health and Wellness Coach through MindBodyGreen’s NBHWC nationally-recognized and approved program. I am also a Certified Functional Nutritionist and believe in food as medicine. I am a life-long learner and continue to add new certifications as I work to stay updated on the latest health and wellness trends and research.
✳WHY DID I CHOOSE HEALTH COACHING?
This is where it gets personal. I have always been passionate about health, wellness, and fitness. When I chose to leave my career in marketing, I did a lot of self-reflection to define my values and find a way to align my values with my skills. As I was searching for my next role in marketing, life took an unexpected turn. My beloved brother was unexpectedly and tragically killed in an accident. Witnessing the impact he made on people during his short life, caused me to dig deeper into the legacy I was building. This was the catalyst that brought me to health coaching. Ultimately, I am drawn to working with people who want to live long and healthy lives. We all know tomorrow is not promised but if there’s something we can do today through healthy lifestyle habits that can extend our lifespan, I’m all for it. I’m doing this because I care about longevity and I want to be around to meet my grandkids someday and have enough energy to play with them. I thrive seeing people take the time to focus on their health and wellness and I’m honored to be a part of their journey.
I look forward to meeting you!
