About Me
Why did I leave a financially stable, 14-year career in environmental consulting to pursue a career in health coaching?
I have lived with type 1 diabetes for 30 years and counting now. For most of that time, I have dealt with my diabetes on my own, always striving to bring down my A1c and day-to-day blood sugars, to eat right, to exercise more, etc. etc. Over the years, I have always had a strong interest in nutrition, being physically active, and general health and wellness, possibly thanks to my diabetes. I have also wanted, for quite some time, to help others, especially other diabetics, to live their lives in a positive way, embracing their health goals and facing challenges head on. I am truly ready to share my long-term love of health and wellness, focus on improving my own health as a type 1 diabetic, and inspire others to do the same. My life with diabetes shouldn't be a burden but an inspiration and motivation to be a healthier human being!
Once I was ready to move forward, I enrolled with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition*, where I studied a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. About halfway into my training/education, in June 2017, I established Tricia on Track, LLC - my health coaching business. Bringing my knowledge and experience, I want to help others achieve their health and wellness goals, no matter what they might be. We will work together to develop completely personalized actions based on your goals, to move you toward your ideal vision of health within your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and resources.
On a personal note, I live in Williamsburg, Virginia with my dog and loveable fur baby, Fenrir. I enjoy being outdoors, running, standup paddleboarding, yoga, and exploring fun, new ways to stay active. I love to experiment in the kitchen and am always looking for new recipes and fresh, healthy versions of the classics. I grew up with a passion for baking and am learning how to continue this tradition in balance with a healthier lifestyle!
