My Story
Nice to meet you! I’m Liza!
Unlock Wellness was born out of passion, curiosity, and determination for wellness. As a lifelong active and nutrition-conscious person, consistently teased by my brothers for not immediately inhaling my Christmas candy, I always considered myself the picture of health. Fast forward to my late 20s, when I was “suddenly” diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. I was concerned, confused, and not ready to spend the rest of my life dealing with these symptoms or taking medication.
From that moment on, I dedicated my free time to studying nutrition, gut health, and integrative and holistic healing methods. Nutrition books and medical research studies became my new beach reads! Under the care of a new doctor, I discovered Functional Medicine and began the process of reversing my symptoms. Long story short: it’s a tough road! Healing is often emotional, frustrating, and isolating. It takes so much time to research the latest information, money to experiment with food and products, persistence to stick with nutrition and lifestyle needs, and dedication to get up and do it all again the next day.
I quickly became passionate about using nutrition and lifestyle to treat and prevent illness and realized this was the way I wanted to help people. A trained Organizational Psychology practitioner, I decided to pivot away from the corporate world and into the health sphere. I became a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach by the Institute for Functional Medicine (board certified by NBHWC) and began coaching immediately after graduation. Unlock Wellness is now my full-time gig and I couldn’t be happier to help others foster wellness in their own lives!
I would love to work with you so that your journey might be less stressful and lonely than mine. I want to empower you with knowledge and tools to maintain your vision of optimal wellness.
