There's more to you than what's written in your medical file.

Hi! I'm Jill Patton
The best healthcare professionals are true experts in their fields.
But you’re the only expert on your life.
As a board-certified health and wellness coach who is also a professional health writer, I work with you to imagine and create your new health story. Through coaching, we weave the expert diagnosis and treatment plan with your personal experience, your self-awareness, and your beliefs about what’s possible.
What will your story be?
I work directly with you or in partnership with your physician to support you in the following areas:
Stress · Nutrition · Movement · Sleep · Energy · Focus · Mindfulness ·
Habit Change · Relationships · Self-acceptance · Spirituality

My Story
More about Jill PatTon
As a board-certified health and wellness coach who is also a health journalist, my coaching style reflects my belief in the power of story — the personal narratives that shape our lives, our identities, and our beliefs about what’s possible.
As your coach, I guide you in exploring stories that empower you and stories that hold you back, and I champion you as you craft a new story for yourself.
My perspective is also shaped by decades of personal exploration into yoga, meditation, and wellness, as well as my own experience as a breast cancer survivor. I will be a compassionate companion for you and believe that well-being is a claimable treasure wherever you are in your health journey.
I am a contributing editor to the award-winning Experience Life magazine, where I write about emotional health and personal development as well as nutrition. As a journalist-turned-coach, I am interested in bridging the gap between information and personal experience. I enjoy facilitating groups and leading workshops, as well as supporting clients in one-on-one relationships.
I trained through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy and am board certified through the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaches.
When I'm not coaching or writing, you might find me doing "food projects" in the kitchen (making nut milk is weirdly satisfying), reading sci-fi and fantasy novels on the sofa with my pooch, or embarking on bike rides and other adventures with my family. One of my big goals is to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
