Introduction: Without our health we have nothing really. I have struggled and stumbled myself along my own health journey, so I understand that reality. I meet people where they are and encourage them to move forward at their own pace so that sustainable progress can be made. Watching people when they have an "a-ha" moment where something clicks and becomes a way of life and then celebrating with them when they reach their goals. I also enjoy preparing wholesome meals for my cooking clients knowing I am contributing to their overall well-being.

During my 30 Day Jump Start to Health I learned nutrition, anti stress techniques, and overall information to improve my health. The difference in this program is that it addressed the entire body and mind, not just one or the other. The valuable information Maureen gave me about how food and stress affect my body was priceless! I quickly learned how to take better care of myself through nutrition and anti stress techniques. During the 30 days I was going through some turmoil with some "toxic" relationships in my life. I had what Maureen refers to as an "aha!" moment and used the techniques for relaxation and anti stress. I can honestly say using what I learned help me cope with the toxic situation better than I ever had before!!! What I learned helped so much with my outlook and coping. It was also helpful to know Maureen was always available to answer any questions I had as going through the program. I had no idea how much food affects how you feel, not just physically, but mentally!! I learned how to make better food choices and the toxic affects some particular foods had on my body and mind personally. I also learned very easy and quick exercises to do to help mentally make me feel better! Overall the program was extremely helpful!!!

My family has had the outstanding services of Maureen Murphy-Bangert as our private home chef for over 10 years. The benefits of her cooking service have been abundant in the busyness of our household life and its many facets! With both my husband and myself being in healthcare, we well know and understand the paramount importance of a good balanced diet and its role in the establishment and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle for us and our children. Maureen's services have been essential in the introduction and exposure of our very busy family to a splendid and delicious variety of healthy meal choices with the convenience of not having to plan and prepare them and in the environment of our home! There is a grounding of our family that is achieved when we gather for a meal together at home during our hectic lives! Many folks have noticed and commented over the years on the healthy choices of vegetables and fruits over fries; fish and chicken selections over burgers;etc. that our children have made from the time that they started eating solid foods! I do feel that good eating habits are learned and that is a process that is ongoing. We continue to have improvement in our overall health with the consumption of delicious, healthy whole food meals prepared by Maureen in our home which take our medical statuses into consideration as well as the growing needs...and appetites...of our teenage son and daughter!! Maureen is an essential part of our family and we love her!!

Chef Moe's" in-home cooking services have been a lifesaver, literally. After my wife had stomach surgery, she couldnt eat rich or fried foods, which meant that every meal needed to be prepared at home. Our busy work schedules made it impossible to cook enough healthy, appetizing meals and became a point of daily stress. As soon as I met Chef Moe, I knew that we were in good hands. She cooks delicious food, of course, but is also highly dependable, organized and thoughtful. My wife is now fully recovered, but we've continued to use the in-home cooking because it has made such an impact on our lives. Its comforting to know that we always have healthy food at home - we can spend quality time eating family dinners together rather than meal planning, shopping and cooking. It also helped me lose 15 pounds; Im eating the same amount, but my nutritional diet is much more balanced!

This is a fantastic, very personalized, and very research-based approach to losing weight the healthiest way possible. It is not based on any "gimmicks or tricks", but rather how to eat healthy foods and eliminate unhealthy foods, yet allowing for the exception. She also spends some time on overall fitness as well as helping you determine if your life is balanced with family, relaxation, meditation, a social life, etc. She gives you lots of "food for thought", both with respect to eating as well as these other aspects of your life. She is truly a joy to work with, and she puts a lot of time and energy into each client. I felt as if I was her only client, and it wasn't until after I completed the program that I found out that she was coaching others at the same time. I highly recommend Welcome to Wellness!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
While my pricing is not complicated it is different for each service that I offer so a one-on-one conversation about what I offer and the associated fee is recommended.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My cooking experience comes from starting to cook as a teenager when I became more interested in how I was eating. I learned a lot from my father who was a great cook and who owned a campground business with a diner and catering service. I also worked at Whole Foods and was mentored by a culinary trained chef who had traveled the world cooking and honing his skills. My experience for coaching comes from my passion about nutrition and health for over 30 years. I was trained for coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I am always researching and reading the latest health trends and I attend numerous online wellness summits with prominent physicians and leaders in the health industry to continue learning.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was working in corporate America and felt like I was not doing anything meaningful. I took a risk and left and started my own business as a personal chef providing in-home cooking services because I love to cook and wanted to help people eat better. That eventually led me to discover my true passion of wanting to educate and coach others about things like the importance of making good food choices, moving every day, managing stress, etc. So I went back to school to receive training and certification as a health/wellness coach.
