Tonya Cruz, Health Coach
B.S. & M.A. in Wellness Management
Duke Integrative Medicine Trained Health Coach

Since I was a young child I have had a love and passion for wellness. I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Corporate and Community Wellness Management and then continued on to get my graduate degree in the same field. I thoroughly enjoyed these degrees because they addressed the whole person.
To further my training and skill set I took Duke Integrative Medicine's Health Coach Professional Training in Durham, North Carolina. I really connected with this training because it focuses on methods of behavior change to help clients improve the health and life, and addresses the whole person and creates balance and growth in the client's life.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease around the time that I graduated with my Master's degree in 2005. I have used a combination of conventional medicine, complimentary medicine, and lifestyle changes to manage my disease. I understand how difficult it is to make life changes, and also how making these changes can impact a person's quality of life. My desire is to help people achieve their greatest well-being so they can live the lives they want to live.

A professional health coach can empower you to make lifelong lifestyle changes that are the foundation of wellness. You may not know how to create change in your own life, or maybe you just lack the motivation to change. Many times your doctor or health care professional has little time for helping their clients create a plan for their health. This is where health coaching comes in.
I partner with you to envision what you want for your life, to discover what motivates you, and to create action plans and achieve your goals.
