Why health coaching?
Why health coaching?
The journey to Health Coaching and helping others would have some bumps in the road for Vicky. All of which she would use to help pave the way to helping others heal.
- Born with multiple health issues, s-shaped achilles tendons her parents were told she may never walk--she walked, she ran, she danced, she teaches yoga and movement specialities.
- Scoliosis and spina bifida randomly gave her excruciating pain when her spine went out of place. Learning proper movement techniques showed her how to heal.
- A misdiagnosed heart condition sent her to the ER multiple times as a teenager. When finally getting a true diagnosis, as an adult she implemented changes to stay strong. Eventually she took her passion for helping others to conventional medicine as an emergency medical technician and then to corporate management of a team of emergency medical personnel and security officers.
- Not one but two close encounters with cancer turned into countless community services events for children with cancer and a global cancer summit in Dublin, Ireland. All of which honored her with 2 community service awards.
- Traveling the US by bicycle to connect to cancer survivors took her on the adventure of a lifetime as the medical/massage staff for a rider in the RAAM(Race Across America). Twelve long days from Oceanside, CA to Annapolis, MD. She saw the human body break down in ways she had never seen before. Despite the challenges and nearly quitting halfway across country she endured and used every tool available to her to keep that rider in the saddle and get her across the finish line.
Where would God ask her to go next? New studies with a whole host of specialities. Yoga teacher training, teaching to seniors, teaching to children, and teaching to healthcare professionals. Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching through The Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
The road home brought her back to her family and to one of the biggest challenges of her career. A family asked for her help with a sister/daughter who was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma and given 6 months to live. Lifestyle and nutrition changes would be the focus. Six months came and went. One year and the doctors couldn't explain what they were seeing. Two years in, no signs of disease. Year 3, 100 pounds lighter and able to maintain her own healthy lifestyle, Vicky and this client said a friendly goodbye. On the client's 7 year anniversary she called Vicky to say hello and they met up for a wonderful reunion by the lake.
The decision to work with seniors, healthcare professionals, and families.
Working with seniors became a passion when Vicky's 86 year old father was struggling to walk and in constant pain. He was willing to do whatever it took to get back on the golf course. She knew she could help and 30 days later that is exactly where he was, 18 holes of golf. A clear message from God that the senior population needed her and she never looked back. She still has the privilege of watching many seniors transform their health in ways no one would expect.
As someone who knew firsthand the stress involved with healthcare, it was an easy decision to find special training that would enable her to help healthcare professionals unwind and get healthy.
Working with families relates back to the family of the glioblastoma patient. Watching that family delight as they saw that not only were they not going to lose their sister/daughter but that she would be back on her own with no signs of disease was all it took.
Where now?
Vicky believes there is no end to what we can learn and in turn share with others. She continues to gain knowledge in her life's work and has a desire to help as many people as possible reclaim and reset their personal health. Maybe you are one of them?
