Cathi has worked in the health care field for over 20 years The first part of Cathi's health care career was recruiting, managing and coaching medical professionals for a major medical recruitment firm. She joined our team 15 years ago and became a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) receiving her certification from the Life Purpose Institute in 1998. As a Professional Certified Coach, Cathi facilitates diet and lifestyle coaching with our patients. Lifestyle coaching, when applied to diet, exercise and self-care, leads to a transforming experience that changes perspectives and attitudes. Patients and clients get new 'tools', techniques and strategies to make the necessary changes in their lives. With Cathi's help, the coaching process keeps you on track and leads to a greater sense of well being and control over your life. It seems hard to believe that over 10 years ago, Cathi was borderline obese, asthmatic and had many chronic health issues. She did all of the things people do to lose weight and feel better, however, it never seemed to be enough. Diagnostic lab tests were done through Womens BestHealth and Cathi was found to be gluten intolerant. After a trial and error period, she got into the Gluten Free lifestyle. Cathi organized and facilitates the Gluten Free Support Group, 'No Grainers' here in the office. Meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7pm. After losing 50 pounds, Cathi says she feels great and is in the best shape of her life! When not working, Cathi enjoys cooking, kayaking and spending time with her family.
