  The world of "DO"

  Certified Health Coach | Wellness Consultant

  During completion of my bachelor’s degree in Alternative Medicine (Graduated Dec. 2015), I have continued as a certified health coach, program developer and trainer, delivering a variety of individual and group training and facility operation improvement services to area fitness centers, individuals, training the staff and helping brands improve client outcomes. The World of Do provides personal and corporate wide expertise in the areas of: Health and Wellness Counseling, Personal Fitness, Nutritional Counseling and Meal Planning, Bodybuilding, Kettle-bell Training, Kick-Boxing and Self-defense, Strength Training, Weight Management, Core Training, Power Lifting, Speed & Agility Training, Pre/Post-Natal Training, and Functional Senior Fitness. We offer a complete 360-view of current wellness programs in order to revise, strengthen and make vast improvements or can develop programs for companies and organizations that do not yet have a wellness program in place. Some food for thought: Corporate wellness programs create an incentive for employees to engage in better health and nutrition practices, creating savings for the company's insurance plan and the employee and resulting in improved fitness and health management for employees. This means better staff performance and productivity and less sick time while cementing a positive corporate culture for the employer wishing to attract the best candidates.How can we help your company?
