Wellness That Goes Deeper Than Symptoms

Health isn’t just the absence of illness—it’s the presence of peace, resilience, and a life fully alive.

At Shalom Health & Wellness, we help you create a healthier, more vibrant life—body, mind, and spirit—through personalized, evidence-based functional medicine coaching that meets you where you are and fits your real life.

Working with Laura to understand the changes going on in my body was so helpful. She broke down the process of internal and external factors impacting my body in a way that I could easily understand. She helped make the journey of an elimination diet not feel overwhelming. Doing this in a group course helped provide additional encouragement and support from others experiencing similar challenges I had battled for over a year with added weight that no matter what I tried I was unable to see change. During our 10-week course, I had physical, spiritual and emotional changes. The tools Laura equipped me with will help me for the long-haul on this journey to health and wholeness.

Care That Goes Deeper

Root-cause functional wellness coaching that compassionately honors the whole person—not just the symptoms.

At Shalom Health & Wellness, we partner with you to uncover the root causes behind fatigue, stress, hormonal imbalance, weight gain, stubborn lab values, or chronic discomfort. Instead of quick fixes or one-size-fits-all advice, we focus on helping you understand the “why” behind your symptoms or diagnosis—and what your body is actually asking for.

Through one-on-one coaching grounded in functional, root-cause, and evidence-based strategies, you’ll learn how to:

Move the needle on key lab markers like A1C, blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation
Understand how your genetics influence your unique health puzzle
Understand the underlying causes and drivers of your symptoms and what to do about it
Learn how to fix and optimize your hormones
Support your body’s natural healing processes
Create budget-friendly, sustainable changes that fit your lifestyle

And most importantly, actually feel better in your day-to-day life

This is personalized care that treats you as a whole person, not a diagnosis.

Lifestyle as medicine has the potential to prevent up to 80% of chronic disease. No other medicine can match that. – Dr. David Katz, M.D.

How it Works

Your Wellness Journey, Simplified

True transformation begins with understanding your unique story. Every coaching journey is personalized—but here’s what you can expect:

Discovery Call

We’ll talk through your health concerns, goals, lab history (if available), lifestyle, and what’s felt frustrating or confusing so far. This call helps determine whether root-cause functional wellness coaching is the right next step for you.

Personalized Root-Cause Plan

Based on your unique needs, we’ll create a tailored strategy. Everything is designed around your body—not trends or generic protocols.

Guided Transformation

Through regular coaching sessions, education, and accountability, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and practical tools to make lasting changes. We focus on progress—not perfection—and sustainable habits that support long-term wellness.

You’re never alone in this process. Every step is guided with compassion, encouragement, and practical support—so you can move forward feeling empowered, not overwhelmed.
