Katherine Ianni

I am a retired Special Education teacher, happily married for over 36 years with two amazing grown children who are married to wonderful people! We also have a furry daughter, Lola, a 10 year old Wheaten Terrier.

Upon retiring I promptly began a year-long program with the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy where I learned to use Functional Medicine principles & positive psychology techniques to motivate and guide clients.

In between clients, I enjoy staying fit by strength training, doing yoga and Pilates, Beach Body workouts and walking Lola around Stamford, CT. I am an avid reader and love crafts. I recently took a flower arranging class which was a blast!

I was inspired to become a health coach because of my own health journey. From an early age I suffered with digestive issues and was diagnosed with IBS in college. Then, as a young mother, I added other issues like Hypothyroidism and multiple food allergies resulting in rashes all over my face and neck. I was never satisfied with my conventional doctors who simply wrote prescriptions so I kept searching until I found a remarkable chiropractor and also a Functional Medicine doctor. They both helped me to get better and become my own health advocate. I continue to learn about the incredible human body and how to take care of it. And now I hope to help others feel their best!

Fun! I love meeting new people so the first visit is basically get to know each other, however, I will be doing a lot of listening. If the client wants to know more about me I will provide that information, but the first session ( and all of the visits) is really about the client and their vision for their health and wellness.

You will be amazed how working with someone who is trained in behavior change can really help you to realize what you've been doing right and what you might need to tweak to achieve your goals. I will listen to you, since you are the expert of you and help you set achievable goals for yourself. I will be your support and cheerleader and will provide resources and information if you ask. The sessions are 1-1 and client driven.
