Mary Ellen Sparks RN, CBN, NC-BC, BC-FMP

"Before working with Mary Ellen, I was struggling with autoimmune disease, anxiety, and depression. Through nurse coaching, my life completely turned around. I now work full-time, eat healthy, exercise daily, and feel mentally and physically better. Her empathy, professionalism, and education changed my life. I would 100% recommend her coaching." ~L.D.

I help women heal at the root, not just manage symptoms, by blending holistic nurse coaching, functional medicine, and compassionate support.

Specialities

My approach

My approach to holistic nurse coaching honors the whole woman — body, mind, emotions, and lived experience. I blend functional medicine, compassionate nurse coaching, and root-cause healing to support sustainable weight loss, metabolic health, and whole-body wellness without shame, pressure, or quick fixes.

Together, we create personalized, realistic wellness plans that fit real life, not perfection. This is care that feels supportive, empowering, and deeply human — because your health journey deserves more than a one-size-fits-all solution.
