Meet Vika
I walk beside women navigating midlife because I know this path myself — and because two decades in the healing arts taught me what actually helps.
I'm a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, trained at Levels 1 & 2 with the International Menopause Society.
My path started in massage and yoga therapy, then widened into grief education, nutrition, and health coaching. Each role taught me something the last one couldn't — and years of working closely with so many people sharpened not just my knowledge, but my intuition: the ability to hear what someone needs before they've found the words for it.
I love digging into the science of wellness — and I love even more turning it into something you can actually do. Not another overwhelming list of rules, but real practices that fit the life you already have.
This work is personal to me, and I'd be honored to walk this next part of the road with you.
My Training
I became a Holistic Nutrition Consultant to ground my work in whole-foods, food-as-medicine principles — looking at the full picture of what someone eats and how it connects to how they feel, not just isolated symptoms or the latest trend.
From there, I trained with Wellcoaches, widely considered the gold standard in evidence-based health coaching — the organization behind the field's own Coaching Psychology Manual. Their approach blends positive psychology with design thinking to help clients build real motivation, confidence, and self-efficacy through strong relational coaching skills.
That training led to my National Board Certification (NBC-HWC), the credential that verifies a health and wellness coach meets the field's highest professional standard. It also qualified me for a National Provider Identifier, so I can coordinate directly with your medical provider — and in some cases, my fees may be reimbursable through your HSA or FSA.
To specialize further in this specific life stage, I completed Level 1 & 2 training with the International Menopause Society (IMS), the leading global body on the science of perimenopause and menopause — so the guidance I offer is grounded in current, evidence-based menopause medicine, not guesswork.
My mission is to help other women at a deeper level — to acknowledge and address the full, complicated truth of what they're carrying, not just the symptoms on the surface.
My Personal Story
I've lived with anxiety most of my adult life. Then motherhood arrived later than I expected, and early perimenopause layered right on top of it — trauma, grief, and hormonal upheaval, all at once.
A difficult pregnancy and a traumatic birth left me with undiagnosed postpartum depression, PMDD, attention deficit, and chronic fatigue — while I quietly carried the weight of feeling like I was failing as a mother.
Then both of my parents were diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and I found myself caregiving on two fronts at once. Out of necessity, I became a nutritionist — first to manage my own symptoms and protect my brain health, then to help other women facing the same struggle.
After I lost my parents, the fog started to clear. I began to see how my anxiety, my unprocessed grief, and my unattended trauma were all tangled together. Coaching gave me a way through — new clarity, new strength, real healing. That experience is why I trained as a coach myself: so I could offer other women the same support that changed everything for me.
Too many of us are still struggling alone, falling through the cracks of our medical and social systems. I don't want you to be one of them.
