MEET DR. SMITH
Dr. Rachel Smith, DNP, FNP-C, CNM, NBC-HWC
Rachel graduated from the Midwifery Institute at Philadelphia University in 2006. As an advance practice nurse Rachel has focused her career on health promotion and patient-centered care. As a certified nurse midwife caring for women across the lifespan, she delivered over a thousand gorgeous babies and especially loved guiding couples to create a healthy home environment in which to grow their family. Helping women navigate the hormonal changes that occur in the teenage years, during pregnancy and in mid-life has been uniquely rewarding.
Rachel fell in love with metabolic health and obesity medicine in 2016 after developing a weight management program for a large obstetrical practice. She found she loved working with men as well as women. This was a turning point in her career focus. She trained as a health and wellness coach at Duke University, obtained advanced training in functional medicine and obesity medicine and switched her focus to obesity medicine. She was in the first cohort of nationally board-certified health and wellness coaches through the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches. Rachel has since added a family nurse practitioner degree from Frontier University as well as a Doctor of Nursing Practice.
Rachel and her husband, Rob are parents to four amazing grown children. In her downtime, Rachel enjoys running, kayaking, sailing, cycling and mountain biking.
She is a member of the Obesity Medicine Association, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, the American College of Nurse Midwives, the Florida Obesity Society, the Obesity Action Coalition, and the North American Menopause Society.
MEET YOUR HEALTH COACH
Inga Shalmiyeva, RN, NSHC
Experience and compassion combined with the toolkit of a highly trained coach.
Inga is a registered nurse and National Society of Health Coaches Certified Health Coach, with a bachelors degree in Exercise Science. Her own challenges with weight, hormonal imbalances, and mental health led her to a life-changing transformation that inspired Inga to pursue a coaching career to help others reach their optimal selves. Inga has been a coach, as well as being coached in business and health, and understands the value of the coaching relationship.
Her areas of expertise include weight loss via long-term behavioral change and mindset shifts, and health optimization at any weight. She works with male and female clients specializing in overweight and obese population. Inga loves trying new recipes, listening to podcasts, running 5k races and changing the world one life at a time.
Our team works together to coordinate best practices, communicate patient progress and support you for optimal health improvement.
Focused coaching is built into our weight loss membership plans. Anyone else may purchase a coaching package separately.
Sometimes what you need from your coach will be some cheerleading, but sometimes you will need your coach to help you redirect and reframe. If you are not used to the coach – client relationship, this may feel a bit uncomfortable at first. We encourage you to embrace the discomfort and take advantage of this unique opportunity to engage with your health from a perspective of ownership.
Coaching is a part of every encounter whether you are meeting with your nurse practitioner to review labs or settling in for a serious coaching focused visit with Inga. Through coaching you will learn how to get out of your own way. You will learn how to get unstuck. You will begin to shape a healthy mindset and own your choices.
