Welcome! I am Livia, a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and an ADAPT-Certified Functional Health Coach (A-CFHC) trained through the Kresser Institute. I specialize in empowering individuals to transform their health through sustainable lifestyle changes and effective blood sugar management.

My passion for health coaching grew during my time adjudicating disability cases, where I witnessed the widespread impact of diabetes on people’s lives and well-being. This inspired me to dive deeply into research and learning, ultimately leading to my current work.

Through my own journey of experimenting with small habit changes, I’ve experienced firsthand how even incremental adjustments can lead to profound improvements in energy, mood, focus, and overall mindset. While I understand the challenges of behavior change—especially in environments that don’t always support our health—I firmly believe that it doesn’t have to be daunting or unpleasant.

Instead, behavior change can be an enriching and joyful process. By embracing curiosity, mindfulness, and playful experimentation, we can discover exciting new ways to nourish our bodies, move with purpose, and find happiness in daily routines. At the same time, cultivating mindfulness can gently guide us to tune into our body’s signals and develop a deeper awareness of our habits and patterns, without judgment. I understand that managing blood sugar or making lifestyle changes can feel overwhelming at times, but through small, meaningful steps, progress is always possible. By integrating mindfulness with playful, sustainable changes—one step at a time, one moment at a time—we can create a path toward improved well-being and vitality. This journey is not about perfection but about exploring what works for you, so you can truly Liv Optimally.
