ANNE MATHENY | Functional Medicine Certified health coach
Creating "ah ha" moments
You may know what you want to change. Better sleep. Lower stress. More joy. Less junk food. Unlimited energy. Stronger immune system. Sharper mind. More movement. Could be anything. But change is hard.
As a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC), I bridge the gap between knowing and doing. Between the desire to change and the motivation to actually make and sustain changes.
The key is self-discovery. You may be surprised to know that the power to improve your health is already yours. My job is to guide you to the answers that are already within you. To help you see yourself in a new way.
A passion for self-empowerment
Research shows that the way you live your life largely determines your level of health. Delicious foods, enjoyable movement, restful sleep, stress reduction and positive relationships can be the key drivers — for maintaining health as well as improving and even reversing chronic disease.
Using Functional Medicine principles and positive psychology, I help you take small steps that can have a profound and lasting impact on your well being. By tapping your strengths and clarifying what matters most in your life, you can greatly improve your ability to succeed.
As your ally, your advocate, your accountability partner, I walk beside you — supporting and encouraging you with your goals, helping you overcome obstacles, educating if desired and celebrating your successes

Free Meet & Greet
See if health coaching is right for you with a complimentary 20-minute consult. We can talk about your goals, the process, my background and the Functional Medicine philosophy.
You'll get a good idea of what to expect. For example, you'll learn that:
- Sessions are all about you and your agenda, not mine.
- You can live anywhere. Meetings are typically conducted via user-friendly video chats. Phone calls and in-person meetings are also available.
Your Package

While single sessions are available, the benefits of health coaching typically grow over time. A package can be customized, but generally consists of:
- Foundation Session: 60 to 90 minutes
- Progress Sessions: Six to nine sessions (30 to 60 minutes) spread over two to three months
- Additional sessions are of course available at your discretion.
Prior to the Foundation Session, I often ask clients to complete a fun, 15-minute character strengths survey and some simple, written exercises.

ABOUT ME
Like you, I’ve struggled. I’ve been a dedicated exerciser throughout my life, but my story includes sugar addiction, brain fog, and hypothyrodism. Yet today I’m on a path I fully believe will take me into my 90’s with vitality.**
I can help you, too. For most of us, the real secret to health and longevity doesn't come in a bottle – or from winning the "gene pool." According to research, it comes from the lifestyle choices we make every day.
My deepest desire through my coaching is to spread the word to as many as I can. The power to create better health is innately yours. For the motivational support to help you make healthy choices long-term, that's where I come in. Let's talk.
Wishing you health and happiness,

My past life
Expert Motivator
I used to be a marketing communications professional, earning an MBA and working as a group creative director and writer. I loved co-creating strategies with my team and partnering with art directors to develop concepts. Along the way, I measured results to know what worked and what didn’t — and nurtured staff to help them achieve their personal best. Ultimately my success depended upon intently listening to what my clients needed.
Kind of like being a health coach. Now I use my motivational skills to help clients create long-term lifestyle change they never thought possible. Helping them live more dynamic and satisfying lives.
