Making Healthy Choices...
 

 ...doesn't have to leave you feeling deprived, exhausted or overwhelmed. Living a better way isn't complicated and is well within your reach.

You know that if you keep doing what you’re doing, you'll keep getting the same results, right? So, if you’re here because you are looking for solutions to help you feel better, you have come to the right place!

I’m Edie Chevalier, Health Coach and nurse, and it is my goal to support you in making the healthy lifestyle choices you need to boost your immune system, up your energy, increase your mental clarity, stabilize your mood swings, and just feel better. 

I often hear people say “healthy living” is too difficult, costly and time-consuming. It just isn't true. If you can learn about the best choices for you and the shortcuts that will get you there, you'll be all set. How do I know this?

Because if I did it, so can you!
 

My Story

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Well, I beg to differ. It took this old dog a health crisis but I sure did learn new tricks! My symptoms came on so gradually that it didn’t really seem like a “crisis” until one day I couldn't walk up my front steps without holding on. My joints ached (I thought it was the family “arthritis gene” showing up), my asthma was worse, I had headaches and was carrying around an extra 30 pounds. I felt fuzzy-headed and exhausted and found myself getting angry about everything and nothing. I had been telling doctors for years I thought my thyroid and hormones were “off”, but my lab tests always came back “normal”.

It took finding a Functional Medicine Practitioner (who is a nurse, like me!) to set me on a path to feeling like myself again. She took the time to listen, a very thorough history, ran what seemed like a million lab tests (but they were really the right lab tests), explained everything and truly made me a partner in my own healthcare for the first time in my life. By the time the journey was at its end my symptoms were gone!

What I found out on this journey is that food truly is medicine and that, when given the right ingredients, the human body has the power to heal itself. I have learned that eating a whole food, nutrient-dense diet is both delicious and easier than I ever believed (and requires zero will-power). I have learned the magic of movement, meditation and sleep. I have discovered how to live a better life (albeit one that I’m still tweaking). I want to share my knowledge and passion with you to help you find your own solutions. I want to help you so you can age with vitality and grace as I intend to do. Click on the button to learn how to take the next step.
 

Why I am qualified to help you:

I graduated from Georgetown Nursing School and was a nurse for almost 30 years, always working with families in one way or another. I've dealt with emergencies in Labor and Delivery, failure to thrive infants in Pediatrics, premature babies and their parents in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and built a Lactation Program at one of the busiest Maternal/Child services on the eastern seaboard. I set up private practices for busy physicians and did one-on-one consults in my own busy private practice (including one in the back seat of a car!). I have designed and delivered educational programs for healthcare practitioners on all levels. If you add my Health Coach certification, my passion for healing with food, and my own personal journey, you will find someone who is uniquely qualified to understand YOUR needs and help YOU reach your goals.
