Let's Get to Know Each Other

Hi, I'm Katie Alvanos, a certified health coach with a Master’s in Education (M.Ed.) and training through the renowned Mayo Clinic. As a breast cancer thriver, I understand the challenges that chronic illness and life’s obstacles can bring. I’m here to guide and support you in achieving your health goals, helping individuals take charge of their well-being, and empowering organizations to foster healthier, more engaged teams.

Why work with me?

When you work with me, you’ll receive personalized coaching in a supportive, non-judgmental space where we focus on uncovering the root causes of your health challenges. I’ll empower you with practical, actionable strategies and ongoing support to help you make sustainable changes that align with your goals. Together, we’ll focus on progress, not perfection, and I’ll be here to cheer you on every step of the way.

As an instructional designer specializing in health and wellness, I create tailored learning experiences that are both engaging and effective. Whether it’s a customized wellness program for individuals or a training module for organizations, I use evidence-based strategies to help you build lasting habits and cultivate a culture of well-being. I’ll work with you to design experiences that not only inform but also inspire action, helping you achieve your health goals with lasting impact.

My Experience

With over 15 years of experience in healthcare education and wellness coaching, I help individuals create personalized wellness plans that focus on nutrition, exercise, stress management, and emotional resilience. As a Certified Wellness Coach, I empower clients to set goals, build sustainable habits, and make informed health decisions.

As an instructional designer, I’ve created e-learning courses and multimedia content for organizations like the Department of Veteran Affairs and the FDA. I specialize in developing SCORM-compliant, interactive training that improves workforce performance and well-being using evidence-based strategies and adult learning principles.

I work with individuals who want to take control of their health and wellness—whether you're dealing with chronic illness, aiming to lose weight, struggling with hormone imbalances, or just looking to feel your best every day. With personalized coaching, we’ll dive deep into what makes you unique and create a customized plan that supports your body, mind, and spirit.
