Helping people grow has been the thread throughout my life.
My path to health coaching began long before I earned the title.
Throughout my career, I have been drawn to helping people:
Recognize their strengths.
Navigate change.
Move toward goals that hold meaning for them.
Health coaching brings that lifelong commitment into a deeply personal area of our lives:
How we care for ourselves, preserve our vitality, and remain engaged in what matters most as we grow older.
About Rhonda
The Work Has Changed, The Purpose Hasn’t.
Throughout my professional life, I’ve had opportunities to coach, mentor, facilitate, teach, and help others develop.
The settings and roles have changed, but the work I’ve found most meaningful has always shared something in common:
Helping people discover what they’re capable of and supporting them as they move forward.
Those experiences taught me something important.
People often need the space to think.
Someone who listens closely.
Questions that help them see something differently.
Encouragement when change feels difficult.
And accountability when good intentions meet real life.
Those lessons now shape the way I coach.
It’s Not Simply About How Long We Live.
It’s About How We Live.
As the years have gone by, I’ve become increasingly interested not simply in health—but in what our health allows us to do.
To stay engaged.
To remain strong and active.
To have energy for the people we love.
To continue learning, exploring, contributing, traveling, moving, and doing the things that give our lives meaning.
That’s what longevity means to me.
Adding Life to Your Years
You Are the Expert on Your Life.
I Bring Expertise in Behavior Change.
You know your life better than anyone.
You understand your experiences, priorities, circumstances, what has worked before, what hasn’t, and what you’re ready to change.
I bring expertise in behavior change, a coaching process designed to help you think more deeply, and evidence-based strategies that can help turn intentions into action.
Together, we bring those two kinds of expertise to the same conversation.
I’ll listen carefully.
Ask questions that invite you to think.
Help you recognize strengths you may overlook.
Explore barriers without judgment.
Share credible information and practical strategies when they’re useful.
And help you continue moving forward.
Meaningful change is something you learn to create for yourself.
A Place to Think. A Partner in the Process.
CURIOUS
I’ll ask before I assume.
ENCOURAGING
Progress deserves to be recognized.
HONEST
When appropriate, I’ll invite you to look at something differently.
PRACTICAL
We’ll bring ideas back to what can realistically work in your life.
COLLABORATIVE
We’ll make decisions together.
I want our coaching conversations to be a place where you can be honest about what’s working, what’s difficult, what you’re proud of, and where you feel stuck.
Some weeks you’ll make significant progress.
Other weeks, life will get in the way.
We’ll celebrate what’s working, get curious about what isn’t, and continually adjust so the changes you’re making fit the life you’re actually living.
Progress over perfection.
Small steps. Lasting habits. Life well lived.
Experience Matters.
So Does Continuing to Learn.
25+ Years of Teaching
20+ Years of Coaching, Mentoring, and Facilitation
ACE Certified Health Coach
ACE Certified Behavior Change Specialist
I believe being a good coach also means remaining a student.
I continue to deepen my knowledge of health, longevity, and behavior change so I can bring thoughtful, credible information into our conversations when it is useful.
I value staying active, continuing to learn, nurturing meaningful relationships, trying new things, and being intentional about how I want to live the years ahead.
Life changes.
Priorities shift.
Plans get interrupted.
And sometimes the habits that once worked need to change with us.
For me, health is about having the strength, energy, and well-being to keep participating fully in a life that matters.
