About
Coach Crystal, NBC-HWC, MCHC
Hello, I am Crystal Veerkamp, I am passionate about helping adults and seniors learn how to live their healthiest life as they age. I started in the field of Health Coaching after many years of battling some of my own very difficult health conditions and wanted to help others that struggle with their health.
As a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, I offer services that help people understand and manage chronic conditions, increase daily movement, choose healthier foods, and learn ways to reduce stress and improve sleep.
I have several personal hobbies that allow me to stay closely connected in the areas of health. I enjoy cooking with whole, unprocessed foods as much as possible. For many years now, I have created recipes with alternative food ingredients for people with allergies/intolerance such as myself. I stay active and make sure to have movement everyday.
I obtained my Health Coach Certification with a focus on adults & seniors, and my master certification through Dr. Sears Wellness Institute. I am also Board Certified through the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaching.
With my guidance and expertise, your healthy choices will become habits.
I specialize in the concepts of Motivational Interviewing, Appreciative Inquiry and Compassionate Communication. These techniques help me to guide clients through change that is sustainable as they set goals towards the healthy life they desire. I focus on ways adults and seniors can make specific changes in the areas of Lifestyle (how we live), Exercise (how we move), Attitude (how we feel) and Nutrition (how we eat); and how this can help aid them in the maintenance, reduction, or reversal of certain health conditions. I enjoy helping my clients feel empowered with the skills to change as they overcome barriers and learn that they have it in them to live their best life.
