Hey ya'll!
I'm Allie, your Health and Mindset Coach. I would love to share a bit about me and what brought me this role as a coach and helping others.
Since a young age, everyone around me has described me as being very "positive" , "motivated", and "happy" individual. I never put much thought into these comments, other than appreciating the recognition of these nice attributes about my personality. I knew I was different; I was diligent in formulating goals in my studies, fitness, and nutrition since a young age. I always loved helping others and I get a lot of my happiness from seeing others succeed and feel good. Naturally, this lead me into a health care career path and I went through 6 years of high level education to gain a Masters degree as a Physician Assistant. I do currently practice as a PA-C at an ENT (ear/nose/throat) clinic and thoroughly enjoy caring for my patients, but over the past few years I have felt like something is missing.
There is great satisfaction in diagnosing and treating a patient's health condition, but working in a clinic I don't get a lot of time to talk to patients- hear their story, their struggles, their goals for a happy + healthy life (not to mention in ENT I am focusing on their sinuses, not their goals in general health/wellness). I realized that the part of me that everyone always admired about me was not being utilized and for the greater good. Was I missing my calling in life?
I discovered that there is a field were you can help guide individuals in their overall health and mindset. When I studied more about health coaching, something in me "clicked"- Wow, this is the perfect job for me! I instantly felt this fiery, burning passion to use all my experiences, positivity, and motivation to help others achieve their goals, just as I had done for years. Have you ever felt the sense of urgency of "now or never"? It's how I feel, and this fervor and fire is not going away anytime soon.
I promise you that I fully dedicate my time and effort to make you the best version of yourself and achieve your goals. I am here for you as a coach, a friend, a guiding hand, a cheerleader, and support system. Let's achieve great things together.
Love,
Allie L. Childs
