I am a passionate person who loves life. I am certain that my happiness comes from taking good care of myself through maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy running, marathons, cycling, hiking with my dog Toast, kayaking, and swimming (to name a few). For me, movement equates to joy. But I didn’t always have this perspective. I started out like many people, contemplating making a change…mostly because I wanted to look good. Now, I can say that change has transformed not only by body, but my mind. With a new desire to be healthy, I pursued exercise as a career. I attended Slippery Rock University where I earned a degree in Exercise Science. I also learned about Wellness Coaching and decided to train as a WellCoach, which is a program endorsed by the American College of Sports Medicine designed to provide health professionals with the tools to help guide clients to optimal health. In 2013, I started working as Health and Wellness Coach for Hospital Corporation of America. I managed a caseload of over 200 participants who requested help in lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, stress, or wanted help quitting smoking. I am happy to say that most of them have achieved his or her wellness vision. My clients' blood work indicates that wellness coaching works. It truly is a rewarding career. My passion for health coaching inspires me to be the best coach that I can be to help others reach their health goals.

I have had a wonderful experience working with Brittni Geibel as my Health Coach with H2U provided by my employer and HCA, our parent company. Brittni was professional and encouraging when speaking with me. She always sent reminders and called on time for our coaching sessions. Brittni was forced to reschedule my sessions several times due to my fluctuating work schedule. She was always pleasant and very helpful in confirming the goals I set for myself. When I did not fully meet my goal, she gently, with compassion, encouraged me to press onward. She helped me focus on the end result that I desired. Something about the way she spoke to me left me with challenging myself to reach deeper into my desires and work harder to achieve success. I shared my personal goals with her and she helped me fashion them into a reasonable and achievable plan. Brittni’s smile was evident even though I never saw her face. I could tell she was genuinely concerned about me as a person and that I was successful in my health endeavors and goals. I feel fortunate to have the privilege to have Brittni as my coach. I am sure those who experience her help in the future will benefit greatly. My blood pressure is now within normal limits without medication and my weight loss is continuing to move down slowly. I know that this was possible because Brittni Geibel believes in me.

I commend Brittni Geibel for helping and encouraging me on my path to success.
