Her passion for women’s health began in 2013 when she noticed a lack of women’s health resources and support in her community. She embarked on a personal legend to assist and support women with their gender-specific health issues. Today, she continues to add depth to her knowledge and wisdom.

A Certified Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner (PRPC), she works with women as well as men, transgender and youth struggling with pelvic pain, endometriosis, bladder pain, anal cancer, vaginal atrophy, dyspareunia, testicular pain, low libido , enuresis, constipation. She earned her doctorate in physical therapy with training in health promotion and complementary alternative medicine (CAM) from Simmons College in 2014 after receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Therapy in 1999 from Florida A&M University.

After several years of watching women not always achieve the functional potential in physical rehab, and personally experiencing deficits in the traditional medicine model, Dr Chikazunga-Martin shifted her career focus when she found more solutions in (CAM) and the health and wellness field. These fields offered positive, engaging and effective strategies specific to lifestyle, attitude, nourishment, restoration and movement.

In 2020, Dr Chikazunga-Martin earned national board certification as a health and wellness coach affording her a platform empowering mature women to feel whole in their skin again and live their best lives. She started practicing as a health coach five years ago, and she enjoys witnessing change happen in the women she works with through a collaborative, beneficial and strengths-based approach to change.

Her mission is to support women struggling with the pelvic system’s incredibly frustrating symptoms, including pelvic pain, hormonal imbalances through the lifespan, and postpartum recovery, who may feel as though they have exhausted all their options. Coaching sessions are engaging and judgment-free, yet effective. She uses mindful listening, metaphor, empathy and affirmations, geared toward supporting women to clarify their desires as they move toward their health goals.

She brings a high level of energy and personality to the women she works with. Dr. Chikazunga-Martin relies on an integrative alliance as a catalyst, evoking the mind-body-spirit to feel and function in better health and wellness. She believes it is a woman’s inherent right to know and dialogue with her body utilizing scientifically proven holistic methods to support her health. She helps women take charge of their health through holistic healing and lifestyle medicine.

Her integrative approach enables her to provide exceptional support for her clients on their healthy living journey. Naja’s family and her enthusiasm help keep her life in balance. Her home life is enriched with love and support by her partner, their two sons, a fur-baby and shell-baby. She thrives by embracing calm, forest bathing, challenging exercise routines, hiking, movement adventures, swimming, gardening, animals and best of all quality rest and/or sleep.

In addition to her private practice and work with IWHI, Cathy has worked as a Behavior Change Coach in primary care settings and is a certified Master Trainer for evidence-based chronic disease self-management programs, developed at Stanford University. Cathy’s professional journey in the field of Health Coaching began after personally experiencing the disempowerment that follows a diagnosis and recognized the real need to offer patients viable solutions.

She began to research how nutrition and other lifestyle shifts can be used to heal and prevent illness. She also gained first-hand experience in understanding the toll that neuro-degenerative diseases have on families, having witnessed the effects of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s on her parents. This inspired her to find ways to thrive, and not just survive, when living with chronic health conditions. Her passion for travel has taken her to many interesting parts of the globe and she continues to explore the cultural relationship between food, lifestyle and health. As a busy mom of two teenage daughters, her passion to transform the health and wellbeing of clients remains a driving force in her life.

Amy has evolved with IWHI and as a result has held multiple roles including a Business Master Coach, Director of the Women’s Health Coaching Certification Program leading to her current role as a Master Coach where she continues to foster her love of empowering others to take control and make change. She is licensed in the state of Texas as a physical therapist, and holds certifications in Lean Six Sigma’s Greenbelt and Digital Marketer.

Amy is also a graduate of IWHI Women’s Health Coach Certification Program. Amy, a dedicated working mother has been married for almost 2 decades. She’s adeptly managed her husband’s international travels while raising their two rapidly growing daughters. Intimately familiar with the complexities of women’s health and work life balance, Amy has spent over 20 years addressing her own health challenges utilizing various Western, Eastern, and lifestyle changes. It was through health coaching that Amy discovered her path to her optimal life. She is enthusiast for the outdoors, she relishes healthy cuisine, dives into reading and listening to music and constantly seeks new knowledge.

Lesley came into coaching from a career in public policy and higher education management via a few years as a personal trainer and running coach in her local community just outside Bristol in the South West of the UK. It was her own brush with burnout and hormone imbalance in 2014 that sent her down the route of first supporting her own health with lifestyle change and exercise and then kick started a career in supporting other women to do the same. She also teaches outdoor fitness classes in her local community, spends as much time in the woods as possible, is a keen outdoor swimmer, and supports her daughter’s rugby team with strength and conditioning coaching.
