Health & Wellness Coaching
Ivy's Health Journey
Ivy, who has lost 142 lbs
by changing her diet
and balancing her body naturally
through a simple elimination diet.
Although Ivy no longer offers one-on-one wellness coaching, she can guide you in the right direction. Ivy can help you get connected with a professional coach in your area.
To reduce inflammation and
promote over-all health it is sometimes vital to make changes to your diet. Sometimes big changes are needed; at times small changes can make a huge and lasting difference in
your over-all inflammation.
From Ivy:
"My own journey in regaining health after suffering from chronic pain and disability has given me insight into the many challenges we all face.
This life experience enables me to bring a high level of empathy, respect, and understanding in helping you on your journey to recovering from auto-immune disorders, chronic pain, Crohn's, colitis, chronic lyme disease, RA and more."
"The Nasty Nine" foods to AVOID to reduce inflammation:

Gluten
Peanuts
Sugar
Soy
Eggs
Artificial Sweeteners
Dairy
Corn
Oils (expleller pressed)
There is no charge for any referral.

The ECHO Story
How ECHO Started
ECHO was a simple facebook page in 2014 after some great weight loss results and a few recipes were seen and shared with friends on social media.
Ivy has lost a total of 143 lbs. since 2010. Most of of the weight loss and regaining of energy and vitality has been since being introduced to
The Virgin Diet & eliminating sugar intake when starting the ECHO diet in 2014.
Ivy was the Valedictorian of her graduating class in 1996 from Gwinnett College in Atlanta, GA. Certified in Neuromuscular Therapy and GA State Licensed since 2006. Certified as a Health Coach since 2017 she helps others relieve pain just as she has.
At this time, Ivy is not accepting new clients for either bodywork or coaching. She is focusing on caregiving for her sweet but very old parents.
She lives just north of Atlanta near Milton, GA and works FT as a Licensed Massage Therapist & now teaches NCBTMB Approved Continuing Education Courses in GA, NC, TN and offers retreats in the beautiful N GA mountains starting in the spring of 2020. She is developing new classes and making things happen in 2020!
