Hello! I am Dr. Zona, a retired physician and now Certified Life Coach for Health, Wellness, and Personal Growth.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, fearful, and in crisis with loss of your health? Whether it be a new diagnosis, long-term illness, cancer, autoimmune, long-haul Covid or an undiagnosed condition, I am dedicated to helping you find your way with a personal approach. We will work together using integration of body, mind, and spiritual well-being. I will help you understand everything you need to know about your condition, up-to-date scientific data, and tools for making good choices for yourself. We will weave personal growth into all aspects of your journey.
My journey in health care started as a Public Health Nurse in Alaska, after which I received my medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland. Practicing cardiology was the life of my dreams before life threw me a curveball.
I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, (ME/CFS) and went from climbing Denali in Alaska to barely climbing a flight of stairs. I was overwhelmed, lost, and devastated.
As I struggled to adjust, my focus turned away from career to what was most important in life. These values were good self-care, strong relationship with family and friends, graded exercise, creative expression, and daily meditation. It became my mission to find delight in every day. And then I decided I needed a horse! Coal Dancer became my best friend, physical therapist, and teacher showing me everything he knew about horses, humans, and life. He was my Personal Growth Coach!
I am dedicated to helping you live your best life with vitality, joy, and good health. You will discover your own brilliant strength, courage and wisdom you did not know existed. We will work together and you will never be alone.
Healing is possible—you’ve got this, and I’m here to help!
