REAL PEOPLE. REAL LIVES. MEANINGFUL CHANGE.
Health coaching does not look the same for everyone. These stories reflect what can happen when people have space to feel heard, understand what has been shaping them and find next steps that fit their actual lives.
Coaching and Supportive-Care Client, Hairdresser
“I’m a hairdresser and my back pain had gotten to the point where I was cutting back my hours because I couldn’t handle standing behind the chair with a full book anymore. I tried massage, chiropractic care, stretching, all the things. Some of it helped for a little while but I kept ending up in the same place. Working with Savannah helped me look at the whole picture instead of only reacting when my back was already killing me. We worked on exercises I could actually do between clients, how I was scheduling my days and where I needed breaks instead of booking myself straight through. I also did Reiki sessions, which helped me slow down and notice how much tension I was carrying. The moment I realized it was actually working was when I looked at my schedule and realized I was back to a full book without spending the next day recovering from it. I still have to pay attention and take care of myself, but I’m working my normal hours again and I feel like I have some control over it now.”
Health Coaching Client & Family Caregiver
“I honestly wasn’t looking for coaching. I was caring for my mom while she lived with dementia and I was exhausted, overwhelmed and constantly worried I wasn’t doing enough. So much of the focus was understandably on my mom that I kind of disappeared from my own life. Having someone check in with me each week made a bigger difference than I expected. Savannah gave me space to say the things I didn’t feel like I could say anywhere else without being judged for it. She helped me stop trying to fix everything at once and focus on one thing I could actually do that week. The situation itself was still hard, but I started sleeping better, handling the stress differently and feeling like a person again instead of only a caregiver. I didn’t realize how badly I needed someone supporting me too.”
Health Coaching Client, Hashimoto’s
“I literally had no idea what was wrong with me. I swear Savannah is like some kind of medical medium, even though she would NEVER call herself that lol. She noticed that parts of my story didn’t add up, helped me organize what I was experiencing and taught me how to advocate for myself with my medical team. My doctor ultimately evaluated me and I found out I had Hashimoto’s. Savannah even helped me communicate with my care team when I didn’t feel confident doing it alone. I understand my health so much better now and I’m not scared to ask questions anymore. She is seriously amazing.”
Animal Communication Client
“Our older indoor cat had started acting really down and we couldn’t figure out why. Nothing major had changed and he didn’t want to go outside or use the catio, so we were kind of at a loss. Sam kept getting that he wanted to GO with us, not just go outside. Honestly that had never even occurred to us. We bought him a cat stroller to see what happened and he absolutely loves it. He goes on walks with us now and is acting like himself again. Call it intuition, communication or just understanding him in a way we hadn’t thought of, but it helped us figure out what he was asking for.”
Animal Energy Support Client
“My fur baby is 19 and has early-stage kidney disease. We lost her sister to CKD, so I’m probably extra protective this time around. She has regular veterinary care, but I also started asking Sam to do energy work and check in with her, especially when our routine gets disrupted by things like dog sitting or having kids over. I wasn’t totally sure I believed in it. I was basically willing to throw spaghetti at the wall and see what helped. The weird thing is, I keep noticing a difference.The last time, my cat suddenly started running around and playing like a much younger version of herself. A little while later Sam texted that she had just worked with her. I didn’t know exactly when she was doing it, so the timing caught my attention. I’ve also noticed more energy and periods where she eats and uses the litter box more consistently after sessions. I can’t prove why and it obviously doesn’t replace her vet care. I just know I’ve seen enough that I keep paying Sam to do it.”
Health Coaching Client with ADHD
“Savannah is the best. With my ADHD I’ve honestly felt like even therapists have gotten annoyed with me because I jump around, over-explain and need time to process. She never makes me feel like I’m too much. I didn’t think I needed a coach because technically I already KNOW what to do. A friend convinced me to try it and I expected to get basically nothing from it. I was wrong. She asks questions that help me figure things out for myself, but she also surprises me with ideas that actually work for my brain and my life. I need the accountability, but more than that I need a safe place to process the hard shit without feeling judged.”
Coaching Client, Working Mom
“When I first reached out I was basically running on fumes. Work was stressful, I had two little kids, family stuff was a whole mess and perimenopause decided to join the group chat. I had like 47 tabs open in my brain at all times and every single thing felt urgent. I was overstimulated, snappy and fully aware I was becoming a person I didn’t even enjoy being around. I also had some baggage from a bad experience with therapy, so I was nervous this would feel like being analyzed or pushed into talking about things I wasn’t ready for. It didn’t. Savannah was so easy to talk to and it honestly felt like talking to a friend who also knew how to help me untangle my thoughts. Some weeks I needed actual ideas. Other weeks I just needed somewhere to put everything I was carrying without worrying about someone taking it personally. Friends and family love you, but they also have opinions and feelings about your life. Savannah gave me a neutral, safe place to land. I’m better at knowing what actually needs my attention now, what can wait and when I’m getting close to my limit. My life didn’t magically become less chaotic, but I’m handling it so much better. Sometimes you don’t need another person telling you to "practice self-care." You need someone to help you figure out what that can realistically look like when everything is on fire.”
Health Coaching Client, Preparing for Knee Surgery
“I was trying to lose weight so I could have knee surgery, which is kind of a frustrating situation when exercising hurts because you need knee surgery. I’d already done plenty of programs where someone hands you a plan and tells you exactly what you should be doing. This wasn’t like that. Savannah actually asked what I could manage with my pain, schedule and energy instead of planning for some perfect version of my life. We focused on changes I could keep doing even on bad knee days. I stopped feeling like every imperfect week meant I had failed and needed to start over again on Monday. For the first time, the plan felt like something built with me instead of something being done to me. That made it much easier to stay consistent and keep working toward surgery.”
Health Coaching Client, Retired Grandparent
“My doctors would tell me to eat better and exercise, then send me out the door five minutes later. I already knew that. What I didn’t know was how I was supposed to do it while dealing with retirement, money problems, stress and a life that looked nothing like I thought it would. Savannah listened. She helped me understand my diabetes, recognize what I was already doing right and make a plan that actually worked for my life. If something wasn’t working, she followed up and we changed it instead of making me feel like I failed. My diabetes care finally feels manageable and I have more energy to play with my grandbabies, which is all I really wanted. Savannah, you gave me my life back.”
Health Coaching Client, Older Adult
"I'll admit, when my daughter suggested coaching, I wasn't convinced I needed it. At my age, I figured I already knew what I was supposed to be doing. What surprised me was how helpful it was to have someone take the time to explain things clearly and help me organize all the information I was getting from different doctors. I feel more confident keeping track of my routines, asking questions when I need to, and paying attention to changes before they become bigger problems. Most of all, it's reassuring to know I don't have to figure everything out by myself. She listened to what I wanted and helped me change things my way."
Physical Therapy Client
"Lacey is truly a life-changing pelvic floor physical therapist. I originally came to her for support with endometriosis and fibroids, but what she helped heal extended far beyond pelvic pain. Her approach is compassionate, grounded, and deeply body-informed. She supported my nervous system in a way no provider ever has — slowing my stress response, helping my body feel safe again, and reconnecting me to movement and daily life with confidence.
A completely unexpected (and incredible) side effect of working with her was a major shift in my agoraphobia. I began trusting my body again. I felt calmer in places that used to feel overwhelming. That’s something I never imagined possible through pelvic floor PT, and I am so grateful.
Lacey doesn’t just treat symptoms, she treats the whole person. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
Physical Therapy Client, Pregnant
"I am so incredibly grateful for the care and expertise Dr. Lacie has provided throughout my pregnancy and postpartum! My first appointment with Dr Lacie, I immediately felt comfortable which made it do easy to open up about how I was truly feeling.
During pregnancy, Dr. Lacie helped me manage severe discomfort and walked me through exercises to improve my posture and avoid excessive strain. I was able to survive to the end of pregnancy with her specific exercises and breathing techniques! I really struggled with postpartum healing and pelvic floor weakness, of which she continued to provide support postpartum to promote proper healing from birth. I am forever grateful for Dr. Lacie, thanks to her I have so much more pelvic floor knowledge and confidence in supporting a healthy pelvic floor!"
Cord Cutting, Human
“I’ve had Sam do cord-cutting for me and I really liked the experience. It wasn’t about pretending the relationship never happened or magically erasing every feeling. It was more like intentionally deciding I didn’t want to keep carrying the same connection in the same way anymore. I felt calmer afterward and like I had actually marked the end of something instead of just repeatedly telling myself to move on. I would absolutely have Sam do it again.”
Health Coaching Client, Retired Firefighter
“I’ve spent a lot of my life staying guarded or trying to be whatever version of me made other people respect me. I’ve done therapy and worked through a lot of my past and the things I saw as a first responder. I wasn’t looking to keep living there. I wanted help moving forward, getting healthier for my kids and figuring out what a softer life could look like for me now. I’m still working on it. I don’t trust doctors and I didn’t need another person telling me to eat better, exercise or take another pill. I already know what I’m supposed to do. I needed somebody in my corner who would listen and help me figure out how to actually do it. With Savannah I can talk about food, my mental health, my faith or whatever is weighing on me without feeling judged or treated like an outsider. I’m figuring out what I’m ready to leave behind and what I want to carry into this next part of my life as a granddaddy and a godly husband. God bless you, Savannah. Thank you for praying over me.”
