- About Us
Hi, I’m Kelly, founder of Functional Wellness Nurse Coach, Inc.
At Functional Wellness Nurse Coach, we offer services to help you get to the root cause of lifestyle related issues such as hormone imbalances, weight loss resistance, GI dysbiosis (aka “leaky gut”), metabolic syndrome, and more!
About Functional Wellness Nurse Coach
With a background in nursing (licensed in California as an RN for 25 years) and the fitness industry (CrossFit L1 trainer for 10 years and former gym owner from 2013-2021), I have long been well aware of how lifestyle factors influence the incidence of preventable chronic disease and can affect one’s overall quality of life. In 2024 I completed a course in functional medicine for nurses and obtained a certification in Functional Medicine Nurse Coaching. This provided a path to combine my nursing knowledge and skills with my knowledge of functional fitness & nutition, and Functional Wellness Nurse Coach was born.
Life as a Nurse
I graduated from nursing school in 1999. After graduation I worked a short stint in Postpartum before moving to Labor and Delivery for 7 years. I also worked in an outpatient surgery center and as a Clinical Research Coordinator. I took many years off to be a stay-at-home-mom to my 3 wonderful kids and then returned to the hospital as a Labor and Delivery RN in 2023.

Life in the Fitness world
My husband started doing CrossFit in 2010. It wasn’t long before he had the bug to open a gym, much against my wishes because I had never lifted a weight in my life and wasn’t interested in starting. I thought I was a runner for life! However, the plan gained momentum and in 2013 we opened a CrossFit gym which we operated through 2021. I became certified as a CFL1 trainer in 2015 and still hold my certification. During that time, I learned not only the importance of lifting weight but fell in love with it as well. I still lift at least 3 days a week with a small crew of friends in my garage. I am passionate about the benefits of resistance training and love helping others learn how to do it as well!
Although I no longer “go hard” in the gym (pictured on the left is from my glory days at a CrossFit competition), I still see and feel the benefits of regular resistance training – it truly is the fountain of youth!
Life as a Functional Wellness Coach
Since launching in 2024, I have helped numerous clients balance their hormones through DUTCH testing, uncover the root causes of GI issues through GI-Map stool testing, fine tune their health through micronutrient testing, and overcome stubborn weight loss issues.
