Madison R.
Coach
Health Coaching & Career: I am a certified health coach that learned the value of a healthy lifestyle after my husband and I were suffering from infertility for almost 3 years. After going through the wellness program in 2015 and restoring the health of my body and the balance of my hormones, we were able to conceive and give birth naturally. Being amazed at what I had learned, I shifted my career and began coaching others to make the important shift to a healthy lifestyle that leads to the best possible health. I am a certified FDN Practitioner with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Texas A&M University.
About Madison: I live in Houston Texas and have been a proud Texan native all my life. I am a mother of two wild and crazy boys that like to keep me on my toes. I love being outside, in particular around a beach and/or water of any type.
Adrienne R.
Coach
Health Coach & Career: I am a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach who is passionate about sharing knowledge with others to reach their health and wellness goals. I have not only worked in Functional Medicine practices but have also implemented the core principles into my own personal wellness journey. My journey started after exhausting traditional medicine to address chronic neck and back pain when I began working with a health coach. The positive results I experienced sparked my passion to shift from the corporate world and become a health coach. I “walk the talk” and specialize in helping others help themselves.
About Adrienne: I am from New York but now reside in Charleston, SC and absolutely love it. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my husband, dogs and family but my ultimate joy is being Oma and spending time with my four grandchildren. Other passions include being outside in nature, gardening, beach time and learning about wellness.
Misty L.
Coach
Health Coach & Career: Her journey as a coach began in 2016 with certification in nutrition and lifestyle coaching. Just a year later, she deepened her expertise by becoming a Master Coach through Precision Nutrition. Her personal experience with chronic health challenges profoundly deepened her commitment to healing. That journey ultimately led her to functional medicine and to becoming a certified holistic nutrition consultant through Bauman College in 2020.
Today, Misty combines evidence-based practices with a compassionate, client-centered approach to help people reconnect with their bodies and create lasting habits for lifelong health and vitality.
About Misty: Misty loves to spend time with her husband and 2 cats. She loves being on or by the water in some way. She specifically enjoys stand up paddle boarding on a warm sunny day. She thoroughly enjoys working out in many different ways. She used to play basketball but now enjoys a heated yoga class, jumping on the rebounder, dancing, strength training, or swimming. She is a huge Golden State Warriors basketball fan. A new interest of hers is learning how to grow her own food in her garden. She also likes to travel and immerse herself in other cultures, enjoying new recipes and new foods as well.

About Brittni: Brittni currently lives in the Kansas City Metropolitan area with her husband, but they are always seeking their next adventure!
