My story
Hi, I'm Cheri. First and foremost, I'm a health coach — someone who walks alongside you and helps you make the changes that actually stick. I'm also a Registered Nurse and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist with more than two decades of experience.
But more than any title, I'm your neighbor, the nurse. The one who listens without rushing. The one who explains things in plain English. The one who helps you connect the dots between your symptoms, stress, medications, and lifestyle — so you can finally feel like yourself again.
My passion is simple: helping people feel better, physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Why I do this work
As my career evolved, I saw a painful pattern. People were overwhelmed, unheard, and stuck between prescriptions and confusion. More technology and more prescriptions didn't mean better health.
I knew there had to be a better way — one that blends the best of Western medicine with integrative, heart-centered care. So I built Chronic Health Wisdom to give people the support they deserve:
- Personalized, whole-person care that fits your body, your goals, and your schedule.
- Education that empowers — open conversations on any topic and any approach that could help.
- Space to heal physically, emotionally, and energetically, even if that means exploring alternative and holistic approaches.
Today I help busy, high-performing women (and men) navigating stress, fatigue, autoimmune issues, hormonal shifts, diabetes, and burnout — often while caring for everyone else first.
How I work — rooted in science, guided by intuition
The PATH: from stuck to getting ready to bloom.
Personalized care
We start where you are. Care that fits your body, your goals, and your real schedule — never one-size-fits-all.
Awareness
Understanding your body and your options, explained in plain English, so choices feel clear instead of confusing.
Transformation
Using change theory and the stages of change, we turn small, doable steps into progress — no overwhelm required.
Health
Whole-person wellness — body, mind, and the quiet things that heal us — so you feel like yourself again.
Integrative tools I draw on
More than one way to feel better.
Mind-body practices
Gentle techniques to lower stress and build resilience, so your whole system has room to settle and heal.
Endocannabinoid education
Plain-language education on your body's endocannabinoid system and holistic options — including CBD, Reiki, and cannabis education — to support natural healing.
Behavior-change coaching
Coaching grounded in change theory and the stages of change, helping you make real progress without feeling overwhelmed.
Evidence-based guidance
The latest fact-based research, translated simply, so you can make confident decisions about your own health.
This isn't one-size-fits-all. It's care that meets you where you are.
