Justin is a Master Certified Nutrition & Wellness Coach and board certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
Throughout my life I have always made exercise, fitness, and health a priority and an anchor to drive and motivate me in other areas of my life. I have learned how to eat properly (did I mention I love food and the rich cultural history behind it?!), to train, sleep, hydrate, stress less, self-nurture, love more, essentially all of the things that encompass a healthy lifestyle but most importantly how to have fun while still enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
My background as a real estate appraiser has given me the analytical skills to define a problem, identify the necessary steps to solve it, and how to develop and implement a plan to achieve positive results. My venture into owning small businesses gave me experience and built my confidence in project management and communications strategy. My enthusiasm in developing this skill set ultimately lead me to the idea that this problem-solving approach and the ability to communicate this information effectively, was intuitively a way I could connect my love of health and nutrition with a coaching mindset. My goal is to help people bridge the gap between medical recommendations and/or health goals and guide them to successfully implement them into their life.
I am passionate about working with people to inspire healthful behavior changes. I help my clients reach their health goals by implementing science backed nutrition and wellness strategies. My whole person approach to healthy living empowers and gives confidence to the people I work with to create attainable goals, make healthy decisions and take action steps while I am there to provide accountability.
I enjoy and am enthusiastic about many interests and hobbies. I love to travel, see live music, and dance. I take great pleasure in trying new foods, going to museums, and watching sports of any kind.
On weekends I like to cook for my family and friends to celebrate and socialize around delicious foods. I appreciate the creative process of planning a dinner, developing the menu and then spending time in the kitchen cooking recipes from all types of culinary regions for others to enjoy.
