The Mind Body Together Story
Background
Hello! I'm Whitney Martin. This is my story.
While I was growing up just outside of Pittsburgh, PA, I discovered something: people need safe spaces to improve their health. I went to Penn State and became a Kinesiologist to fill that void. When I started working in the Pittsburgh hospitals I found that stress impacted total health. I relocated and filled a need in a Northern Virginia area fitness center. I made a powerful observation: many of my clients had heath issues with stress as the root cause. I made it a point to gain multiple certifications to help them manage stress. At the same time, I saw that there was a need to integrate good nutrition practices. After lots of searching, I found and eventually earned a certification in Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching. I'm happy to use all of my experience to tailor a roadmap to wellness that meets you where you are and coach you to your health goals and have Wellness Achieved.
Personally
My husband, Dustin, and I live in the West Virginia mountains with our cat, Princess. We love to spend time with our family and our friends. It's our honor to spoil our nieces, Kayla and Maddie, and our nephew, Steve, rotten.
I love to cook and bake and I'm always trying new recipes. I am a huge sports fan and follow the Nittany Lions, Steelers, and Penguins faithfully. I am a member of the Penn State Alumni Association and the Penn State Greater Allegheny Alumni Society. I love to randomly look up research on Pub Med and participate in workshops to expand my knowledge base. My family and friends will tell you that if you feel the need to bribe me, bourbon is the way to go!
