Yay! You’re here! You’re already taking the first step towards a healthier you!

If you’ve been trying to make changes, making strides only to find yourself slipping back, feeling like you’re going in circles, or like you haven’t a moment to catch your breath, I get it. - I’ve been there, too. My path to becoming a health and wellness coach has been filled with twists and turns, all of which have given me a unique perspective on what it takes to create real change.

My name is Debra Abbuhl and I am a Health & Wellness Coach, a Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist and a Certified Personal Trainer. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and a certification in Fitness Nutrition.

How can I help you?

In my early career, I worked as a Group Counselor and Juvenile Probation Office, helping at-risk youth navigate some of their toughest challenges. It taught me how powerful change can be when it’s approached with compassion and understanding — skills that I bring to my work with clients like you. I know change isn’t easy. It takes time, patience, and the right kind of support.

Later, I moved into the corporate role of leading teams, learning the importance of listening and fostering growth. Those experiences taught me that everyone needs to be seen, heard, and understood to move forward. You’re not just another person on a wellness journey. You have your own story, your own needs, and your own goals. I’m here to honor that.

When I transitioned into the fitness industry as a personal trainer specializing in corrective exercise, I saw firsthand how physical discomfort can hold you back. I helped clients address muscle imbalances and pain, guiding them toward greater comfort and function. I also learned that physical change is just one piece of the puzzle.

Then, life threw me a curveball. I encountered my own health challenges that forced me to reevaluate everything I knew about wellness. That experience showed me that well-being is not a one-size-fits all approach. It’s about understanding your own unique needs and finding a balance that works for you.

So, when I say I understand what it’s like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost, I truly mean it. I’ve walked the road, and I’m here to walk it with you.

You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to take the time to understand your story and help you create lasting, meaningful change. Let’s find your path to health and balance, together.

If you’re ready to move past the overwhelm and start living intentionally, let’s connect. Your journey is unique, and I’m here to support you.
