About Health Coach Team

The Mission of Health Coach Team, LLC

The mission of Health Coach Team is to guide busy women down the road to better health. Our goal is to help empower and inspire women to create a healthy lifestyle for themselves in a way that keeps them from feeling overwhelmed.

Our Team: Debbie Schroeder and Lynn Smith

We met during our health coach certification process. Not long into it we realized we have a real synergy. We are both drawn to help professional women achieve balance between career, family and their health.  We are all given one life to live and have a passion for teaching others to live life to the fullest in vibrant health.
 

Debbie Schroeder, RN, BSN

I am a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor's Degree in Science and Nursing from St. Louis University.  During my 18 year nursing career, I specialized in Cardiology and Endocrinology. 

I became increasingly frustrated with my inability to make a big impact in people's lives with chronic diseases.  I was watching people in their 30’s and 40’s dying from heart attacks or being severely disabled from their heart conditions or diabetes.  Most of the conditions I was seeing were preventable diseases. 

"I felt if I could teach people how to care for and respect their bodies most of these hospitalizations and illnesses would have been prevented."

As a pharmaceutical research nurse, I coached hundreds of patients on how to achieve their health and wellness goals.  Many patients received tremendous benefit from this coaching, but so many of them already had permanent damage, the best we could hope for was to prevent further damage.  I really wanted to reach people earlier to prevent these debilitating diseases.

As a wife and mother of 5 children, a business woman and someone who has struggled with weight issues most of my life, I have tremendous empathy for busy professional women.  I know first hand the challenges of today’s fast-paced lifestyle.  I have discovered a wealth of solutions to achieve a balanced healthy lifestyle.  It is my dream to teach others how to have their health and live a life of joy and peace.   

As a Health Coach I am able to live my passion; which is to empower and inspire women to live balanced healthy lives.  My greatest joy comes from supporting and encouraging clients to achieve their goals and celebrate their successes.  I guide women through a journey of self-discovery and transformation to uncover the beautiful, healthy woman living within them.  I hope you will join me on this journey.

Lynn Smith, LMT

I became interested in coaching after having experienced the impact of having a coach. It was a very powerful experience for me, a pivotal point in my life. I knew I wanted to help others impact their lives in the same way.

Before becoming a health coach I was a massage therapist, specializing in caring for women. Through this I was able to see firsthand the toll that stress can have on the body. But it doesn't have to be that way. Stress is merely our reaction to events and/or circumstances. We can learn to react differently. Sometimes we just need a little help doing that.

As a mother of two, I know what it feels like to try and balance everything. And I understand the feelings of guilt when we do something just for us.

But we need to take care of ourselves in order to be able to take care of our families!

I would love to be able to work with you in creating a healthy lifestyle for yourself. One in which you feel good and have the energy for the important things in life.
