Help Hally Start a New Chapter-Nutrition School

Donation protected
As many of you know I am in the midst of a huge life transition right now that I did not choose. I have always been passionate about nutrition and wellness and have been running my own personal training and nutrition coaching business for the past 3 years. It's been a joy and I love being an entrepreneur and getting to use my expertise to help change and bless the lives of my clients. I want to continue to work, minister and inspire in the health and wellness industry, but maintaining my own business by myself right now is less stable than I need in this time of enormous instability. 


For the past 6 months, God has been putting nutrition and functional medicine on my heart. I am usually the kind of person who jumps into things quickly but I have not done that with this one. I've prayed and sought wise counsel and wisdom. I've asked for God's guidance, researched schools and sat with this for a long time.

I have also felt led to "go low" in this season. What that means to me is to step aside from being the top of my own company and come under someone else's leadership and guidance to learn and grow as part of a team instead of off on my own. 

The day after Christmas I applied for a job at a doctor's office and have been privileged to have gotten to spend the first month of the year helping her and her team build a one of a kind wellness business under the umbrella of traditional GI medicine.  It's not only my dream job but I have also been offered the opportunity to learn from her and her partners about GI medicine. Gut health is something that has affected me significantly in my life, it's what has lead me to dive deeper into health and wellness and I am now getting the opportunity to not only be part of one of the first GI MD wellness clinics in the country, but I'm getting to "go low," learn from some of the best. Plus through all of this God has confirmed His nudging to go back to school for functional medicine and nutrition. 

I'm asking if you would support me in this dream and help me go back to school to become a Board Certified Wellness coach and Nutritional Counselor?

The school I have chosen is the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. It's a 12-month intensive program in both Functional Medicine and Functional Nutrition and the only program in collaboration with the International School for Functional Medicine (one of our lead teachers is Dr. Mark Hyman.)  At the end of my certification, I will sit for the National Board Exam as a Wellness Coach licensed to work specifically with MD's.

What funds will go to:
-The $7997 is the cost of tuition paid in full (which saves me $2500 by paying in full).
-If I raise an additional $300 that will go to cover my cost of books.
-If I raise anything additional above that, it will go first towards covering the cost of my Board exam and then paying for continuing education so that I stay current on the latest research and best practices in both allopathic and functional medicine and nutrition.
-All funds will go towards education, will be spent within the next 1-18 months and you will be provided with donor accountability as to what funds are going to. 

Tuition is due on February 17th so I'm doing some heavy front loading in the next two weeks of this campaign and I'm trusting God with the rest. 

This education will not only empower me to help my patients, to participate even more fully in my doctor's practice but will also give me job stability and security that I don't currently have as an independent business owner. With the life transitions I'm going through right now, it is absolutely God's kindness to lead me into a stable career with a stable paycheck by giving me an opportunity to learn more about something I already love--the way He designed our bodies to to work best. 

This is so much more than just a degree. This is you partnering with me to help me start the next phase of my life with hope, joy, excitement, and stability.

Even the smallest donations help! Thank you for considering helping me take this next huge step. Whether you contribute financially or not would you consider praying for me, my doctors' practice and the Lord's leading in my life in the next few months?

Your friendship and love are an overwhelming gift to me. Thank you for your love and support!

P.S. If you're wondering why I'm not asking Dr. Mitchell to cover this cost, it's because Dr. Mitchell is fronting my salary out of her own salary to help make this opportunity possible. She's amazing and courageous and it's a gift to be able to work with and learn from her.
