“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
— Mahatma Ghandi
Hi, I'm Nancy Stone.
Exercise physiologist. Healthcare professional. Wellness coach.
For years, I've helped people improve their health and wellbeing. Along the way, I learned something important:
Real change doesn't come from simply knowing what to do.
It comes from understanding what matters most—and having the support and accountability to move forward.
Today, I help people navigate life transitions with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. Whether you're adjusting to an empty nest, recovering from burnout, retiring, or simply wondering, "What's next for me?" you don't have to figure it out alone.
A Coach Who Gets It
This work is personal for me.
I'm a wife, mother, daughter, healthcare professional, and coach. I've experienced the pressure of work stress, the demands of an overscheduled family calendar, and the unexpected quiet that comes when children grow up and life begins to shift.
I've wrestled with perfectionism.
I've listened to the inner critic that likes to point out every mistake and every reason something might not work.
I've spent plenty of time caught between what my head was telling me and what my heart wanted.
That tension kept me stuck longer than I'd like to admit.
Over time, I learned how to sit with uncertainty, quiet the noise, and make space for what truly mattered.
That's where clarity begins.
And that's why I'm so passionate about helping others do the same.
You've Been Doing It All
Many of my clients have spent years showing up for everyone else.
They've built careers, raised families, cared for aging parents, volunteered in their communities, and carried countless responsibilities.
They're often the people everyone else depends on.
But somewhere along the way, their own wants, needs, and interests got pushed to the bottom of the list.
Now life looks different.
There may finally be more time and more freedom—but also a surprising question:
"What do I want?"
And sometimes the answer isn't immediately clear.
A Whole-Person Approach
My background includes undergraduate and graduate degrees in Exercise Physiology, years working in healthcare, research, academia, and community wellness settings, and board certification as a Health & Wellness Coach.
But coaching isn't about giving you another list of things you should do.
It's about helping you reconnect with what matters, shift what's getting in your way, and create meaningful action that fits your life.
Together, we'll:
• Build on your strengths and successes
• Challenge limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns
• Create a vision for what's next
• Develop realistic action steps
• Stay accountable as you move forward
What It’s Like to Work with Nancy
“Nancy is an editor for the next chapter of your life. It’s your story but Nancy helps you keep the narrative in laser focus, keeps you accountable, and draws out your best self. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is so gifted at this work and equally eager to share those gifts with those around her.”
— Kelly D.
When Your Head and Heart Finally Agree
Have you ever found yourself making endless pro/con lists?
Overthinking every option?
Listening to the perfectionist, the realist, and the inner critic all at once?
I've been there.
The turning point often comes when your head and heart stop fighting each other.
When they finally begin moving in the same direction, confidence returns.
Decisions become clearer.
Moving forward feels possible.
That's the work I love helping people do.
