About


The book Partnership: God’s Way for Success, Prosperity, and Survival defines partnership as  “an agreement between two or more persons to collaborate, to team up, to join and work together toward a common purpose in a joint venture, and to unify and combine all abilities and resources in order to accomplish that purpose.” That, in essence, defines health coaching!

Welcome to Through Him Health & Wellness! I'm glad you are here.  I’m Michele, and I am a Master certified health coach, a National Board certified health and wellness coach, and a certified Biblical Health Coach. This last one is important because I know from personal experience there is a connection between faith and health. I know the power of the word of God and prayer when it comes to changing my habits, thoughts, motives, and actions. It is Through Him that I gain the courage, strength, insight, desire, ability, and motivation to change. 

 

My approach to health coaching

We are wonderfully created and intricately woven together. We are triune beings: spirit, soul, and body. These three are interconnected and influence each other in amazing ways. If you only work on your physical health and not your spiritual health, you will be out of balance. Vice versa, and disease can result. If you leave out the mind work, which is where the battleground always is, you may win the battle but lose the war. It’s synergy: two or more things working together so that the combined effect is greater than what either is alone. 

 

What you consume determines, drives, and directs your overall health - either good or bad.

This is true whether it's food, drink, what we look at, or what we hear. That's why integrating biblical principles with making healthier choices is so important. God’s word, the Bible, is a resource for successful, prosperous, and healthy living and is utilized in coaching sessions to bring direction and understanding. I also begin and end each session in prayer, inviting Holy Spirit’s presence, as He is the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. 

Partnering with God in the process of change is a powerful resource. Look at this encouragement from Ephesians 3:20 (Ampl): “Now to Him who is able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly, more than all that we dare ask or think, infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory.”

 

For most people, change is easier said than done. 

We say we want to change, but when it comes to the action part, we tend to resist it or really struggle with it. Paul says in Romans 7:15, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do, this I keep doing.”

I can relate to this! Can you? 

 

That’s where I come in.  I’m here to:

  • help you identify and set goals and be your accountability partner in reaching those;
  • help you change the way you think about and see things that may be getting in the way of your success;
  • help you understand how your lifestyle, exercise, attitude, and nutrition choices influence your overall health;
  • educate, guide, encourage, and walk alongside you as you engage in your personal journey toward health and wellness, using scripture as the foundation;
  • help you draw deep into your internal reserves so you can press through to success, whether it’s hurdling over, going around, turning around, or just plain smashing the stubborn rock of resistance into pieces!

 

Ultimately, the decisions to change, to set goals, and to take action steps are up to you. 

It’s not about me holding you accountable; it's about you holding yourself accountable. It’s about determining what you value and implementing small, sustainable steps to align your decisions, actions, and thought processes with those values.

"I enjoyed many face-to-face meetings with Michele as well as coaching over the phone and email.  She has a very welcoming demeanor. I never felt judged or scrutinized.   If I made poor choices, we discussed helpful ways to avoid the same choice/scenario. She has a very creative mind and is always looking and listening for new ways around a problem. Michele comes with her own story of overcoming and has had to work very hard to be where she is. She is willing to share her personal journey in a way that lets you know you are not alone. When you embark on a difficult journey with many ups and downs, you want someone walking along with you that is familiar with the path. Michele will be with you every step of the way and in any capacity you need."   -Angela M.
