Patti is a member of the International Association of Wellness Professionals, and the American Society for Training & Development. She is a Certified Clinical Practitioner and Holistic Life and Wellness Coach with the American Council of Holistic Medicine as well as an Adjunct Professor for Kingdom College of Natural Health. She is the author of 100 Days, 100 Ways to a Happier, Healthier Life, 7 Steps to a Naturally Unbridled Life, and A Field Guide to a Naturally Unbridled Life (to be released in December 2010). Patti combines her education and experience in helping people and animals to live a natural, healthy, life with tips and strategies for improving the lives of her clients; body, mind, spirit and planet.
Patti has a unique background for a natural health professional. She worked for eight years in the biotechnology industry, conducting oncology and pharmacology research. After becoming disheartened with the field, she began her work as an Equine Nutrition Consultant; providing nutritional guidance to horse owners, stable managers and veterinarians. Additionally, Patti was a sought-after speaker on the topic of Equine Nutrition and gave presentations throughout New England. It was in this role that Patti began to harness the power of nutrition.
She was able to help improve the lives of countless horses; from helping emaciated horses to resume a healthy physique, to enabling performance horses to reach their genetic potential — she even helped a Clydesdale to grow a tail!
Beyond helping horses, what she enjoyed most about this position was the gratitude of the horse owners for guiding their beloved companions to a healthier, happier state. Since Patti loved the public speaking part of her job, and having minored in education in college, she left the nutrition field for a teaching position. Patti taught Biotechnology and Animal Science in vocational high schools in Massachusetts for six years. In these positions, Patti learned how to make complicated topics understandable to students of all learning abilities. The unique combination of scientist, consultant and educator make Patti the perfect coach and speaker to help people to understand how their bodies work and the natural methods they can use to optimize their health and life.
As an accomplished equestrian, Patti enjoys specializing in coaching equestrian women. These women clearly understand the relationship between health and performance as it is evident in their horses. Through coaching, Patti's clients are able to apply the same concepts to their own health and happiness. Patti's clients gain skills and strategies to enhance many areas of their lives, which often leads to improved performance in the saddle. Through individual, group and subscription coaching, along with self-help wellness products, Patti supports equestrian women in releasing what is holding them back in order to achieve a Naturally Unbridled life; body, mind, spirit and planet.
Patti and her husband, Cory, are in the process of relocating to a farm in Minnesota where they will add to their animal family and establish an organic garden.
