Lifestyle and Health Coaching
We all want to follow a healthy lifestyle but sometimes that can be hard to achieve on our own. This is where a health coach fits into your life and provides you the accountability to be your very best self.
Setting Goals and Getting Results
Have you ever set a goal and struggled to get the results you want? Come explore S.M.A.R.T. goals with me so you can meet the goals that you are setting for yourself.
Custom Plans
We are all different and have different needs. Let’s get to know you and what you need and we can create a custom plan to fit all of your lifestyle needs.
What is a health coach? Why YOU need one!
What is a health coach you might ask? As a health coach, I am trained to work with clients around all lifestyle factors (sleep, relaxation, exercise/movement, stress, nutrition and relationships). These lifestyle factors have a significant and direct correlation to your health. Working with a health coach can also lead to a better understanding of your health and a deeper commitment to following recommendations made by your practitioners.
It is my goal to empower you to draw on your inner strengths, develop self-knowledge and embrace self-management strategies in order to make the often challenging lifestyle changes necessary for optimal health.
Having Trouble Finding Balance?
You’re Not Alone. And I’m Here to Help!
Balance is like a four letter word these days. We all struggle to find time to fit everything into our very busy lives and world. How do I find time for exercise when I am working from home, taking care of others and managing a home. These are commonly asked questions and concerns. Working with a health coach may be the best use of your time so you can work to develop a plan that allows you to manage the many facets of life and still find happiness. We can work together to find the most important aspects of your life and make sure you are able to fit in self care so you can rise up to be your best self.

Finding a balance can be hard but being healthy doesn’t have to be
Your Health Coach is an Accountability Partner
This is important because when you go to a traditional doctor’s appointment, your physician may recommend a lifestyle change or provide you with a prescription for a new medication but there is little to no follow up. At Rise Up, we take your follow-ups very seriously! You’ll be seeing and hearing from me big time! We want to help you be accountable for your actions and for you to take an active role in your health.
We have found that by having our clients take an active role in their own health it leads to greater achievement of their health goals. As your health coach I am here to guide you, educate you and most importantly support you through your health journey. I am here to listen to your concerns, celebrate your achievements and stand by you when you fall down.
About Katie Ozimek
Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach
I have lived in Colorado for 25 years but I hail from the Chicago area. I was brought to the mountain air after doing an outdoor trip when I was 14 and I knew this is where I wanted to land in life. What I didn’t know was that I would struggle with my health until I was 35 and I would feel like I had exhausted all possibilities. I was sick with real ailments but I was also so stressed out and I had no idea how to manage it. I was living on an island called, “I Got This” and I clearly did not! Have you ever lived on that island? My recovery was what prompted me to switch careers from a real estate broker to a functional medicine health coach. I was urged by a friend and physician to help others with my own story. After some rearranging of our extremely busy schedule with two little ones, I enrolled in school and became a health coach. I have not looked back and instead am continuously looking forward. I love to explore with my clients, ask questions, learn about them, guide them, challenge them, laugh and cry together and most importantly heal. I believe that we can all rise up to be our best even when we feel our worst. Come see me so we can explore together how you too can rise up and be your best.
My Approach
When I meet a client for the first time, I will honor where you are in your life. I will not rush you into my agenda, in fact I don’t have one for you. I want you to feel free, comfortable and willing to share with me so that we can find out together how you can rise up to be your best self. I will listen with intent, support, and challenge you as you take the steps to achieve wellness. As well, I look at you from a functional approach rather than a few symptoms. We dig in to the root cause of your symptoms so that we can put the right plan together for you
My Process
As your coach I am here to provide you with support as you uncover the answers that lie inside you. We begin with the Why of Wellness which is a series of questions meant to help you and me get to know you better and understand where we can make improvements in your life. Once we complete the why of wellness we will really dig in and start to peel back the layers so you can achieve the utmost in your health journey.
Unique Framework
All of us are different therefore it is very important for me to get to know you. We will create a customized individual progress plan for you. This plan will include, hopes, dreams, challenges, and goals. We will check in on the plan as we work together and make adjustments as we work together so that your plan is constantly evolving to fit your needs.
Why Rise Up?
Much like the moon we all have some bumps and bruises be it mentally or physically but we don’t always know that we can rise up like the moon each night. Conversely our society tells us to be like the sun, always bright and cheery even when we feel dark and dreary. My goal is to teach you to be like the moon, we rise up every day even when all we can give is 1% we still show up. The moon waxes and wanes and that is a natural process in our society we just have to be willing to trust ourselves and commit to rising up each day and being grateful for the little things because they matter just as much as the big ones. I want you to be confident enough to wax and wane like the moon and no matter what, rise up and show up each day for yourself. Contact me so you can Rise Up
“Working with Katie as my health coach has been such a rewarding experience. In the beginning I was skeptical that a health coach could make an impact and I’m so glad I took the leap to work with Katie. She has worked with me through a tailored approach that is specific to my needs. She provides honest and thoughtful feedback without ever being judgmental about my challenges. She has done a significant amount of personal growth work herself, which allows her to bring foresight and wisdom to my own circumstances. She is helping me redefine my relationship with my health, so that I am operating from my heart and intuition vs. some kind of strict rule book. For me, this is transformational. My sessions with Katie are fun and lively and I always feel energized and ready to take my next step at the end of every session. I know that my health is all the better for my work with Katie!.”
“Katie is the perfect fit for me as a coach. She listens well and offers tools and suggestions to try that feel right for me. She also remembers what I say and can remind me of where I was earlier and what progress I’m making, instead of only focusing on the next thing I need to work on, which is really empowering. I also appreciate that she is real and willing to share her own experiences, which makes me feel like she can relate to me. I love working with someone who helps me celebrate what is going well while keeping on track with what I need to work on.”
“I started working with Katie about 2 years ago. I was frustrated and discouraged in my wellness journey and feeling an emotional low with the pandemic in full swing.
Katie’s approach to coaching is collaborative – what is working for me, what isn’t, and if it isn’t, why not? It is helpful to dig through the ‘why not’ as it is a critical driver for my success. Sometimes the answer is something I can address, but for the times it isn’t, it helps me to change direction when I am part of the conversation and solution. Just being handed a bandage IS helpful, but it is more helpful to understand how you got hurt in the first place. When I meet with Katie, we discuss my progress from our last discussion, my accomplishments with my prior goals, and we circle around what I didn’t achieve as planned. Some answers are easy and obvious.
Some of the challenges are not about what I am or am not doing, but about how I am approaching it. I live in the complicated world of LIFE. Sometimes I am living it and sometimes it is living me. Katie is good at giving me perspective, encouraging me to keep myself as a priority, and giving me the
occasional ‘push’ when I need it. We end our meetings with a plan – goals for the next meeting and typically some kind of ‘exploring’ for me: anything from a new option for my diet to changing my perspective by previewing a book.
I appreciate that Katie approaches me as a person, not a project. My well being and my journey to wellness is a complex web of family, food, work, sleep, attitude, knowledge, and about 100 other things. Katie is aware of all of this when we meet, and she questions, supports, guides, and cheerleads. She has been a powerful component of my walk to sustained wellness.”
