About Lionheart
Health Coaching

Lionheart 
noun: a person who is brave and determined. 

Lionheart Health Coaching offers 1:1 virtual coaching with a certified health and wellness coach. Using a holistic and integrative approach, the sessions are centered around a client’s well-being. 

Putting your health first can yield long-term results but getting started can be difficult. It takes courage and bravery – just like a lion. Change is hard, otherwise, everyone would do it. It requires you to step outside your comfort zone but results in growth.  Think about it, there’s no comfort in your growth zone but no growth in your comfort zone. This is not an absence of fear, but a willingness to change. Throughout the process, clients are empowered to create meaningful and sustainable change. 

The name pays homage to the founder’s brother, who passed away unexpectedly in a tragic accident. The lion was his favorite animal because it fears nothing but has a heart of gold. He lived his life by the bible verse, Proverbs 30:30, “A lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing,” and he shortened this to a motto in his own words, “Be a Lion”. This mantra embodies bravery and courage, even in the midst of fear and uncertainty.

MEET YOUR COACH

Woman in kitchen with food

Hi, I’m Kelsey!

I hold many roles in my life – mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, fitness instructor, and health coach. You’re probably here because you’re interested in my role as a health coach, and if you sign up for a session with me, we won’t talk much about me, but it’s important to know a little bit about the person you’re putting your trust in to work with. 

✳WHO AM I?

I’m a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, functional nutrition expert, Perimenopause Specialist, and founder of Lionheart Health Coaching. But more than anything, I’m someone who believes women deserve better than generic health advice and another reminder to “just take care of yourself.”

I spent 13 years as a senior marketing leader in the long-term care industry, where I saw firsthand how the choices we make today can shape how we age. That experience sparked my passion for longevity—not simply living longer, but having the energy, strength, and vitality to fully enjoy the life we’re building.

Today, I combine my background in healthcare and behavior change with my training in functional nutrition to help women better understand their health and, more importantly, figure out what to actually do about it.

I’m also a mom, a Bar Method instructor, and a woman navigating the same realities many of my clients are: a full calendar, a family to care for, competing priorities, and a mental load that doesn’t seem to come with an off switch. I don’t believe in health strategies that require you to put your real life on hold.

✳WHAT DO I DO?

I work primarily with women in midlife who are tired of feeling like they’re doing everything “right” but still don’t feel like themselves.

Maybe you’re exhausted, your weight is changing in ways it never has before, your cravings feel harder to manage, your brain feels foggy, your sleep has changed, or your stress tolerance has disappeared. You have a sense that something has shifted—and you want to understand why.

My job is to help you connect the dots.

I look at the bigger picture of your health—nutrition, blood sugar, inflammation, stress, hormones, movement, sleep, and the everyday habits that influence all of them. When appropriate, I also use functional testing and biomarker data to bring more clarity to the conversation.

But information is only the beginning. Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different things.

That’s where coaching comes in.

I help you turn information into realistic, sustainable action without restrictive diets, all-or-nothing thinking, or another impossible list of things to add to your already-full life. My approach blends evidence-based science, functional nutrition, and behavior change with real-life practicality.

✳WHY LONGEVITY?

This part gets personal.

I’ve always been passionate about health, wellness, and fitness, but my perspective on longevity changed profoundly when I unexpectedly lost my beloved brother in an accident.

His death was a reminder that none of us knows how much time we have. It also made me think deeply about the kind of life I want to be here for.

I want to meet my grandkids someday. I want to have the energy to play with them. I want to feel strong, capable, and present in my life for as long as I possibly can.

That’s what longevity means to me.

It’s not just about living longer. It’s about building the health, strength, energy, and resilience that allow you to fully live those years.

And I believe the best time to start is before you think you need to.

I look forward to meeting you!
