If you have been struggling with chronic fatigue
or another chronic illness, you have found a home, hope, and answers. I
am a certified wellness coach, and I specialize in coaching and
empowering people with CFS, and other chronic conditions. I have been
helping people for over 7 years, and I have been through it myself.

Welcome to The Holistic Coach. My name is Edie Summers.
I am a certified wellness coach, and I have been helping people empower themselves to take their health back into their own hands for over seven years. I have recovered from chronic fatigue and chronic illness. I have been through it all. I know you are tired, sick, and looking for answers. Wellness coaching is an empowered way to navigate your way back to the life and health you deserve. There are no guarantees in life, but there are only two ways to move through life: backwards or forward. Wellness coaching walks down the road with you toward whatever lies ahead on the next phase of this journey called your life.
What is wellness coaching? It is the facilitation of peak physical, mental, emotional, social,and spiritual health.
In other words, I coach you on how to heal and empower yourself.* Even if you have CFS or a chronic illness, you can make significant improvements in the quality of your health and your life. Many people even fully recover. There is always hope, and, yes, there are answers.
I am currently writing my second book,The
Memory of Health (due out in late 2010), on my experience with CFS and chronic illness. I have overcome many obstacles in
my life including recovering from chronic illness. I have achieved many
of my lifelong goals including becoming a professional writer and
dancer, and having my own coaching business. I continue to achieve
goals I set for myself both personally and professionally by practicing
what I recommend to my clients each and every day. Dare to dream. You
are worth it.
I also offer public
lectures on my experience recovering from chronic illness and how to
stay well naturally. Feel free to contact me for further information on
public speaking engagements.
Wellness is not simply the absence of disease. Wellness is a state of supreme health on all four levels of being, plus the health of your extended relationships with others and the world in general. Wellness coaching exists to walk you through the obstacles you perceive along the way toward your optimum state of being. I offer one more dimension to wellness coaching by adding in the holistic element. We are spiritual beings. If life is approached from the highest level, you will achieve the highest level of being.
I use a technique called
Somatic Coaching to help people activate their own
self-healing abilities:
Coaching* is about inspiration, motivation, and reaching the maximum potential of which we are truly capable. Coaching is about building that bridge between a dream and the final result. So many of us have a very clear idea of what we wish our lives could be but encounter physical, mental, emotional, social, or spiritual road blocks that keep us from actualizing our deepest desires. A coach is your best ally, biggest supporter, and a source of accountability. A coach doesn't point to a mountain and tell you the best way to climb it. They climb it with you. The best athletes in the world use coaches to take their performance to the next level. They know they can reach their goals with guidance, support, and someone to hold them accountable. Don't you wish that for yourself as well?
My intention is to help you achieve vital health and your dreams, whatever it takes. Because the truth is, you already have the power inside of you. But sometimes we need help along the way to remember that we are truly powerful. This is where I come in. My greatest gifts are my intuition, my knowledge of holistic health, and the ability to inspire others.
The sky is only the beginning, and human potential is far, far greater than most of us even dare dream. Dare to dream. Be even more daring, and put your dreams into action and you can accomplish anything you want and truly live the life you desire.
