Meet Laura Schneider.
Hey - I’m Laura Schneider,
your Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach. (NBC-HWC + FMCHC).
Say wha’?
Yes, those two obnoxiously long titles are a mouth-full. But here’s the thing.
Even if you’re just leisurely reading wellness blogs for fun or you’re working with a professional coach it’s imperative that they’re accredited + know what they’re talking about.
Following random online health ‘advice’ is whack (it’s ok, we’ve all done it), but…
Your well-being isn’t something to trust to just anyone on the first page of a search.
With wellthier, you can trust you’re getting real science with accredited research to back it up, from your own diligent researcher, advocate and Board Certified Health Coach, Laura. :)
But, why?
Why am I here, now talking to you?
After experiencing the standard (hour plus) wait to see my OB/GYN each month for my first child (which soon turned into weekly visits), all to be rushed in-and-out in 10-minutes or less, I witnessed the breakdown in primary-care, first hand.
Just when I had the prenatal visits mastered (with my ‘waiting kit’: headphones, phone charger, snacks, netflix, etc.), I went through a traumatic unwanted c-section and felt the immediate lack of support + drop in care once I was ‘postpartum’. During my 6- week check-up I was “all clear” for all the usual activities (you know - sex, swimming & ab workouts) but I felt far from “all clear” as my doctor motioned for me to get dressed after the two minute exam.
The primary care system isn’t cutting it on its own.
We have to be the CEO’s of our own health + well-being - hiring the right team to support + rally us, with a holistic approach to keep the “business” of our well-being running optimally. You’re your #1 advocate.
So, I continued my education to become one of the first few hundred in the country, Nationally Board Certified Health + Wellness Coaches to help fill the gap between primary care + what we all really need: modern health + well-being solutions.
Wellthier is your modern health + well-being solution.
It’s not just prenatal + postpartum women that experience a complete gap from their primary care, although that’s where I first had my “a-ha” experience and a specific demographic that’ll always be a priority for me.
Often times we turn to the internet for support. Unfortunately, there’s just so much bad or just plain wrong information available at our finger tips skewed by product endorsements, marketing + fad diets leading so many of us to follow advice from a unaccredited “resource” that ends up doing more harm.
After sifting through tons of crappy information myself, and then diving into the amazing science-backed books, and functional medicine rooted medical information, not to mention all of the unsolicited advice from loving friends and family, I realized something…
That “A-ha Moment”… We’ve all got the answers right here, inside ourselves. We’re all capable of living our best lives + keeping our families thriving, but if we could all do it on our own, we would’ve already. Let’s say it out loud, together.
If we could all do it on our own, we would’ve already.
That’s where I comes in! With a highly-accredited coach by your side who’s bringing the right tools, insights + strategies to help you get where you wanna go, you’re going to fly! Let’s get you on the right track, heading toward your dream destination before another day passes by.
I’ve got you.
