Meet Coach Alina

Hello and welcome! My name is Alina Warner and I am a Certified Health Coach serving clients in Great Lakes Bay, Michigan and across the Midwest. My journey to become a health coach was inspired by children. Having seen the downward trends in health, leading to shorter life spans, I knew something needed to change. I began by developing and teaching an enrichment program to teach healthy eating habits to elementary-aged children that touched on the basics of nutrition, exercise, healthy foods and how to read ingredients. The students in my class were remarkable. They embraced my teaching with curiosity and a desire to try new healthy things. Their minds were open and ready to learn and experiment. Soon, I came to the realization that in order to have lasting impact on children's health, parents and other adults in children's lives needed education too. After all, adults are the ones buying and preparing food. I realized that helping adults to make improvements in their health will, in turn, result in better health for all our children.

Being an avid learner all my life, I dove into researching what training programs would best fit my needs for becoming a certified health coach. I enrolled in the Health Coach Institute program and, eight months later, earned my certification. I left my corporate job to follow my dream and launched my career as a health coach. Encouraged by the success of my early clients, Wellness Within You was born with a single goal: to make our community healthier one person at a time!

Wellness is Within You, just like a pearl is inside an oyster. It takes effort and patience to break the oyster open and free the pearl. Your health and wellness is that precious pearl! I am here to help you break the “oyster” and reveal what is preventing you from discovering the wellness that lives within you: unwanted behaviors, bad habits and personal struggles.

I welcome you to begin your journey through a FREE Initial Consultation Session (a $75 value).

Testimonial

◇

  • This program has really turned around my awareness about healthy eating and living. It was a great eye-opener and education between fact and fiction concerning eating habits in the American diet. I felt more energetic in my daily activities and more positive in my attitudes. What surprised me was that it really was not difficult to give up certain foods because there was always a healthier alternative. The 7.2 shakes are a lifesaver in a busy lifestyle without the guilt. When I had my physical four months into the program, the doctor was impressed. First, my blood pressure had dropped from 144/80 to 128/80!! Second, my heartbeat dropped from 100 beats/minute to 79 beats/minute. Third, the oxygen level in my blood increased from 95 to 98. Last, I reached my weight goal, and my stomach is flat (not bad for a person turning 69 this year). Thank you, Alina, for making a difference in my life!

  • Alina was a wonderful and encouraging help. Her creative suggestions to solutions in life, diet, and career included novel additions and also reinforcement for some things that I've always known but perhaps not considered in certain lights. I personally didn't require being held accountable, but Alina was super great about individually personalizing my program and I can see how this aspect can be really helpful for others. I learned a good amount of things in our time together and recommend her help. Thanks again!

    Thank you!
  • I have been flirting with a healthy lifestyle for at least a couple of years now, but found stress and lack of time as good excuses for eating whatever there was in the fridge and for not exercising at all. In the 90-day program, Coach Alina taught me that if you don’t have time, you can definitely make time. With the help of a few healthy recipes & valuable guidance from her, my eating habits have changed for good. Not only that I greatly reduced the amount of meat in my diet, but now, a couple of weeks after the program, I am in the 11th day of a 15-day detox. I feel great! Also, from walking at most 5,000 steps a day and crashing on the couch every evening I am now striving for 10,000 steps daily, besides doing short strength exercises, dancing with my kids, biking, and attending core training classes. I am down 10lbs from the beginning of the program and I am still counting. A very important learning from the program is that all is in your head, and how you think about a healthy lifestyle can help you accomplish your health goals. Coach Alina certainly made me think about my health and wellness in the right way.
