My Journey to Championing Healthier Lives Since 2009

I began this work in 2009 with a simple but powerful belief: that happiness is a choice, and that with the right tools and support, anyone can create a life they truly love. My first step was earning my certification in holistic nutrition from the American College of Healthcare Sciences. Working with clients over the years, I noticed a critical link: poor self-care often stemmed from deeper struggles like unhappiness and low self-esteem. That insight shaped everything that followed and deepened my commitment to the mind-body connection.

From there, I immersed myself in positive psychology, earning certifications in applied positive psychology and coaching from The Flourishing Center in New York. Those qualifications became the foundation for my work as a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach and an ICF Professional Certified Coach.

As the founder of Gemma Health Coach, LLC, based in Red Bank, New Jersey, I have grown into a coach, a motivational keynote speaker, and a published author. I have shared my approach at events including the Integrative Healthcare Symposium in New York, Hackensack Meridian Health Women ROCK at the Paramount in Asbury Park, and as a returning featured presenter at The Lodge at Woodloch in Hawley, Pennsylvania, where I will present again in November 2026.

I am also the author of several books, including The Positive Psychology Diet, Happiness Is My Choice, and The Easy Guide to Starting a Health Coaching Business From Scratch, all available on Amazon. I serve as the happiness expert for Pink Wisdom, a digital platform for women.

In my personal life, I find joy in family time, cooking healthy meals, and exploring wellness travel. I live by the belief that the teacher comes when the student is ready, which captures my approach to coaching and to lifelong learning.

My coaching blends positive psychology tools with practices like mindfulness, meditation, and gratitude. Together we explore savoring life’s joys, the power of kindness, and the deep satisfaction that comes from helping others. The world’s happiest people share a few common traits: they nurture loving relationships, practice gratitude consistently, and stay mindful of their flow. Through our work together, you will learn to build that same balance, and create a more joyful life.
