Hally Foote- NBCHWC, FMCHC [Director Of Health Coaching]
Health Coaching & Career: I discovered the power of functional medicine in 2014 as a result of my own journey to overcome severe chronic health issues including IBS and SIBO. My personal journey coupled with my long standing dedication to holistic wellness, inspired me to shift gears, leaving behind my 9-year career in public education (I taught math to middle schoolers) and go back to school for functional medicine.
Today, I am both a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and a Nationally Board Certified Health Coach. I firmly believe in a holistic approach to health, one that encompasses not just the physical, but also the mental, spiritual, and emotional aspects of well-being. My passion to make functional medicine more available and effective is the heart of my daily work
About Hally: I am a proud Colorado native. Born in Boulder, I now live in Colorado Springs with my husband, family & rescue pup, Dell. I am an avid mountain biker, dog lover, white water rafter, skier, hiker and I am happiest outdoors. I was a national-level collegiate swimmer and soccer player. Joy is my normal, I laugh easily and my favorite food is absolutely dark chocolate.
