Sara Ramirez

My journey began when I received my Medical Assistant and Phlebotomy Certification in 2007. I then received my training from the Institute of Integrated Nutrition in 2020, where I learned innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, and over 100 dietary theories including Ayurveda, Paleo, Raw, Vegan, Gluten Free, and more from the world's top health and wellness experts including Dr. Joshua Rosenthal, Dr. Andrew Weil, and Dr. Mehmet Oz. I completed my CBD Consultant training in 2021. I continued my education by taking the Weight Loss Specialist II course through NASM and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Maine at Presque Isle. I completed the National Board of Certified Health and Wellness Coaches Intensive Practicum and plan to sit for my board exams soon. I'm a new volunteer with the Institute for Natural Medicine's 'Naturally Well' program that helps provide holistic nutrition and lifestyle education to inner-city youth in rural and at-risk communities.

After losing 70 pounds by incorporating principles of integrated health and learning how stress, nutrition, sleep, and relationships impact overall wellness, I wanted to help as many people as I could to do the same. I believe that all patients should be treated as people, not diseases. I believe that everyone should have affordable access to healthy food and knowledge and that every person should be treated with dignity, kindness, and respect.
