Celina Nemec, CHC

Certified Health Coach

Celina is a Certified Health Coach and proud mother of two amazing children who inspire her to embody the change she wishes to see in the world. In today’s society, many suffer from the consequences of poor diet, lack of movement, chronic stress, and environmental toxicity—factors contributing to unexplained illnesses, rising infertility, and widespread physical and emotional pain. Celina firmly believes that now is the time to take action and reclaim the incredible potential of the human body and mind.

Celina’s personal journey through various health challenges—including persistent digestive disorders (such as IBS, ulcers, acid reflux, and heartburn), hormone imbalances (endometriosis and migraines), Fibromyalgia (chronic fatigue, pain, and depression), heavy metal toxicity, and multiple neck injuries—has shaped her holistic approach to health. Through these experiences, she discovered the vital connection between mind, body, and spirit in restoring well-being, utilizing alternative therapies and nutrition as her primary tools.

Initially pursuing a degree in nursing, Celina’s health struggles forced her to pivot, ultimately leading her to follow a deeper calling. She pursued her certification through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN), where she gained the expertise to help others on their healing journeys. While completing her studies, she worked at a health and wellness store, providing consultations focused on detoxification to hundreds of clients. Today, she continues to expand her knowledge, most recently completing studies at the School of Applied Functional Medicine, further deepening her passion for gut health.

Celina is deeply committed to making a positive impact in a world where unhealthy lifestyles are becoming the norm. Armed with her extensive experience, education, and unwavering dedication, she aims to exceed expectations and inspire lasting change.
