wellness isn’t a destination, it’s a way of living— each and every day.
Meet Dakota
Board Certified Health Coach, Functional Nutritionist and Personal Trainer, helping you feel stronger, healthier, and more at home in your body.
My work blends personal training, root-cause health coaching, and sustainable lifestyle change so you can create results that last.
My story
My path into this work was personal.
For years, I struggled with fatigue, poor sleep, gut issues, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and autoimmune challenges that left me feeling exhausted and disconnected from my body. I felt depleted and far from well, and I could not imagine having the energy to exercise consistently, let alone feel strong in my body.
Through years of personal healing and study, I learned how to support the body at the root — through habits that work with your biology, not against it.
Today, I’m a strength and endurance athlete, and you can usually find me chasing big efforts in the wild. Ten years ago, I could not have imagined the places this body would take me. At the time, I was inflamed, exhausted, and deeply disconnected from what my body needed. That experience shaped my belief in the body’s remarkable capacity to change when it is supported with simple, functional, root-cause care.
This journey is what led me to this work. I’m deeply passionate about what I do because I have lived the transformation myself, and I believe everyone deserves to feel supported and strong in their body.
What Health Coaching Means
Health coaching is the bridge between knowing what to do and actually living it.
It’s not just advice. It’s a personalized process that helps you understand what may be driving your symptoms, identify the patterns keeping you stuck, and build systems that support your health in real life.
I help clients create lifestyle systems rooted in functional, root-cause principles and aligned with their core values — so the habits we build are not only effective, but sustainable.
Because when stress rises, hormones shift, or life gets busy, motivation fades. Your systems are what hold you.
How I Help
My approach combines:
Personal Training to build strength, resilience, and trust in your body
Health Coaching to create lasting habits and behavior change
Nutrition + Lifestyle Support to improve energy, digestion, sleep, metabolism, and overall well-being
Together, we create a practical, personalized approach that supports you now and gives you tools that last long after our work together ends.
Who I Support
You might be here because you want to:
Feel stronger in your body
Improve energy, digestion, or mood
Regulate stress, sleep, or hormones
Lose weight or build muscle
Create sustainable habits instead of starting over
Build a stronger foundation for long-term health
Philosophy
My philosophy is simple: wellness is not about perfection. It’s about learning how to support your body in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and aligned with the life you want to live.
You do not need more pressure. You need clarity, support, and systems that work.
Ready to feel stronger, more supported, and more like yourself?
If you are ready to stop guessing and start building a healthier, more sustainable way of living, I would be honored to work with you.
Beyond coaching
I bring both professional training and lived athletic experience to my work. I’ve run ultramarathons, thru-hiked nearly 3,000 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail, and raced outrigger canoes — experiences that continue to shape the way I understand strength, resilience, recovery, and the body’s capacity for change.
