My name is Beth Beard and I am a functional medicine health and wellness coach with a passion for helping people to thrive.

Coaching is a relatively new chapter for me — but the work is rooted in decades of experience helping people grow, heal, and adapt. For over 35 years, I’ve empowered individuals, families, and organizations to navigate change and build lasting resilience. My background as a strengths-based Family Therapist includes leading programs for teens and families facing serious mental health and life challenges. I also spent over a decade as a change consultant helping nonprofits grow through leadership coaching, strategic change, and learning communities.

Alongside my clinical practice, my passion for functional medicine grew. This drove me to shift my career to one focused on healing the root cause of disease through nutrition. As a personal chef for the last 10 years, I have shared my passion for healthy food and creative cooking with local families by creating nutrient-rich meals for people living with cancer, autoimmune conditions, food sensitivities, and chronic illness.

Now, as a Functional Medicine Health Coach, I bring all of that experience together. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in science. You are the expert on your body — I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward greater energy, balance, and well-being.

In my free time I love nothing more than spending time outside with friends and family - hiking, camping, kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming. I find nature to be incredibly restorative. Other passions include bringing community together through live music and dance events, gardening, black and white photography and reading anything I can get my hands on - but especially the latest in metabolic mental health.

Those who know me best would say that I wear my passions on my sleeve and it is almost impossible not to get caught up in my infectious pursuit of joy.

I’m honored to be part of your journey!
