About us

Health and Wellness Coaching

Many chronic conditions can be reversed or prevented through diet and lifestyle changes.

Our approach supports “whole body” health and well-being by focusing in 3 areas: Lifestyle Medicine, Health Education, and Health and Well-being Coaching. We utilize evidence-based practices and strategies to help clients develop and implement personal wellness lifestyle plans.

  • Lifestyle Medicine: Is a therapeutic prescriptive lifestyle intervention strategy used by certified physicians, clinicians, and practitioners to prevent, treat, and often reverse non-communicable chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Certified Lifestyle Medicine Coaches have been educated to apply the evidence-based knowledge of the “6 Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine” with their clients.

  • Health and Well-being Coaching: Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coaches (NBC-HWC) follow a strict code of ethics. They support clients in making lasting self-directed changes aligned with their values. They foster a respectful, non-judgmental space rooted in trust, honoring each person’s expertise in their own life and potential for growth.
  • Health Education: We offer scientifically evidence-based classes to support key public health concerns. Preventionistas courses utilize an adult learning method where students are led by facilitators in a group coaching environment.  This offers peer support and a conversational learning approach.  Our health educators have extensive knowledge and experience with health behavior models and theories for change.

Preventionistas is a Public Benefit Corporation. This means we are legally committed to generating a measurable positive impact on public health and environmental sustainability while creating profit for our shareholders.

    Coaching has enabled me to be focused and become my best self, I have a healthier lifestyle.

    Julie L.

    Working with Preventionistas was wonderful. Elizabeth helped me identify clear goals and kept me accountable each week, which resulted in a profound sense of well-being. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner on my journey…. Not only was I impressed with her knowledge, but she was caring, dedicated, and genuinely committed to my success.

    Joseph H.

    Working with Elizabeth as my coach made a real difference in my overall well-being—both mentally and physically. Talking with her about my daily struggles helped me gain perspective, and her thoughtful questions encouraged me to reflect in ways that helped me realize some things weren’t as overwhelming as I thought. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs support and a gentle push in the right direction.
