Wellness Coaching by Robin

Robin Phillips-Berger is a licensed Professional Certified Coach, a licensed Energy Leadership Master Practitioner (CPC + ELI-MP), and a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor.

​

It was through Robin’s personal health journey that she discovered the power food can play on an individual’s health and well-being. After the birth of her child, she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Like many others, taking care of herself took a back seat to her daily, family life. Robin was determined to regain her health and nourish her body with the ingredients it was silently screaming for:  real whole foods, better sleep, reduced stress, and exercise. Robin incorporated exercise, mindfulness, and a diet high in vegetables, fruits, and quality proteins as she slowly shifted her internal landscape. The energy came back. Her clarity improved. She experienced less body pain, and gained healthier-looking skin and hair. 

This journey led Robin to earn certification as a life and functional nutrition coach. When asked what gets her up in the morning - besides her family -  it is helping and educating people on the power of food, making healthy lifestyle choices, and becoming an active participant in her client’s transformation. Robin is able to take something that seems overwhelming and make it simple and achievable.
