I’m Annie, and I’m thrilled you found my little corner of the internet.
I founded No One Wellness because I felt failed by the wellness industry. An industry whose intent is to lift people up and help them find improved health and happiness left me feeling left behind.
I spent thousands of dollars on products and services whose marketing promised life-altering results. I bought the snake oil. I worshipped at the feet of medical and wellness professionals who promised they had all the answers. They had sleek offices and websites, and followings and social media that evoked a cult like, celebrity status. A status I may add, they so often merely bestowed upon themselves.
IT ALL SEEMS SO OBVIOUS TO ME NOW BUT AT THE TIME I ATE IT UP.
I was desperate to feel better and to be “fixed.” It’s only human to cling to hope when you feel vulnerable. And what could be a better marketing tool than preying on people’s vulnerability and worst fears?!
I have zero interest in exploiting anyone’s vulnerability. I think your vulnerability is a beautiful and sacred gift, and can springboard you to growth you never knew possible.
THE TRUTH THAT THE SNAKE OIL PEDDLERS DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW IS—THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO GET BETTER OR TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
We are bioindividual creatures, and what works for one person is not necessarily going to work for the next. By exploring your own unique health markers, lifestyle, and relational dynamics, you can learn how to change your health on a fundamental level.
I detest the word “aspirational.”
It sets a standard that most of us are never going to achieve. Do you have the time or money to go to yoga 7x a week? Do you have a private chef? Do you get to (gasp) SIT DOWN FOR THIRTY MINUTES STRAIGHT on your lunch break? Do you have the luxury of crawling into bed each night knowing you will get an uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep? Do you start your mornings with a matcha latte and meditation?!
I’m here to tell you, you are NOT a failure if you don’t—you’re just a person with a normal life in today’s culture and…it sounds like you probably didn’t inherit a fortune.
I am a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and studied at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, where I also went on to complete the Hormone Health Course. My formal education was the cherry on top of all the invaluable knowledge I’ve gained from all the mistakes I made along the way.
I would love to share those so you don’t have to make all the mistakes I did. For starters, I have distilled a list of the products and services I’ve tried and found to be the real deal.
I wasn’t always a Health Coach.
I’ve spent 17 years in the film & television industry in New York City. Those days average 12-16 hours, and you usually wake up around 4am. I understand the harsh realties of hustle culture. I know from first-hand experience what it means to have an all-encompassing job. I once went to a renowned sleep specialist who told me (this is a direct quote):
“IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP BETTER, QUIT YOUR JOB.”
Granted yes, the stress, early mornings and erratic hours were not conducive to my sleep cycles. But I remember fighting back tears and saying, “but isn’t there ANYTHING I can do, to help? I refuse to believe that I’m just hopeless.” And he said…”well believe it.”
I knew then and there that I had to somehow be part of the solution.
At the core of my philosophy is—if it doesn’t work for YOUR life, don’t bother.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT ‘PERFECT SOLUTION’ THERE MIGHT BE BECAUSE IF YOU’RE NOT REALLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT, IT CAN’T HELP YOU.
There is no one answer/method/diet that is going to be right for everyone.
Now this doesn’t mean I won’t ask you to step outside your comfort zone or challenge yourself—because that is most definitely going to happen if we work together.
What is does mean, is that we are going to move the needle inch by inch in a sustainable way that you can realistically incorporate into your life.
CHANGE BEGETS CHANGE.
You would be shocked to see what you can achieve by starting small. And a great side effect of starting small is that is sets you up for success!
I want to be your partner and ally on your journey.
I will not set you up to fail. I will not help you hate yourself. In fact, shame and self judgement will significantly impair your progress. I don’t care where you’re starting from, I just care that you come open and willing.
As long as there is effort and commitment, we can always course correct along the way. In fact, it’s a (very important) part of the process!
I would absolutely love it if you want to work with me. But whether I am the right fit for you or not, please know what you are wanted here and you are a treasured member of this community.
