Carolyn's Journey to Health Coaching

Carolyn Cohen's journey to becoming a health coach began from a place of resistance. Coming from a family that emphasized health, she initially rejected those ideals until personal health challenges shifted her perspective. After being diagnosed with a chronic condition and witnessing similar health issues in her children, she realized the importance of health and began making changes. This personal transformation led her to explore health coaching, where she now focuses on helping others navigate their health journeys with actionable plans and insights.
