Meet Your Coach, Dennis
My Journey to Optimal Wellness
Just over two years ago, I was fortunate to participate in an initiative to improve health and wellness in my local community. During that time, I worked with two outstanding FMCHC coaches, who introduced me to the concepts of Functional Medicine.
After completing several lab tests and personal assessments, I began my own health journey and quickly decided that I wanted to be an FMCHC coach in my own right.
I have now accomplished two major milestones. I completed training through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy in August 2020 and received my Functional Medicine Health Coach Certification (FMCHC). In February, I sat for the national board exams and received my National Board for Health and Wellness Certification (NBC-HWC) in April. Along the way, I have been exposed to brilliant professionals who are envisioning a very different approach to creating wellness. I welcome the opportunity to support you in achieving your health and wellness goals.
Through Valeo, I want to mirror the openness to change, love of new ideas, commitment to wellness, and belief in the power of self-exploration that I encourage from those I coach, allowing all of us, in community, to be well, be strong and thrive.
I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach
“Dennis enabled me to reprioritize and improve my health while navigating several life transitions. I looked forward to my coaching sessions because I felt understood and supported to do more than I thought possible. I appreciated the way he supported me to figure out my own path forward. As a result, I felt more empowered to act on my plan and achieve my goals. I am grateful for his positivity, encouragement, and deep knowledge of how focusing on various lifestyle factors could help me achieve my goals. I highly recommend Dennis.”
