About Nancie

  

Nancie Vito, MPH, CHES

I’m a Life Coach and Public Health Professional specializing in happiness, success & well-being. I love to help people reduce stress, create dream lives & flourish. My life purpose is to live an authentic life with passion and purpose, and to help others to do the same!

A dream that came true for me was becoming self-employed, focusing on what I am passionate about and believe in. Years prior, I struggled when I wasn't feeling fulfilled or complete in my jobs, often not agreeing with the philosophies taught. I jumped from position to position and from school program to school program. I was even chronically sick for a couple of years!

My life changed when I immersed myself in studying mind/body connectedness, positive psychology, mindfulness and spiritual universal principles. I had the realization that in fact I had been contributing to - and even creating - my own stress and overwhelm! I made the decision to be fully present, aware and mindful, without holding myself back from creating the life I want. Learning to control my thoughts shaped me by giving me the courage to live my ideal life and not just think about it as "one day." An “a-ha” moment for me was when I realized that when we focus on the negative, the negative will keep showing up for us in our lives because that is what we are etching in our brains! I now aim to focus on prevention, holistic health & wellness, success, growth and “flourishing” in life rather than focusing on and reacting to illness and other negative situations. I love to help people align their actions with their energy so that they can pursue their passions in order to flourish rather than "just get by." 

I ended up turning down several "good jobs" in order to do what I feel passionately about. Since I founded Flourish, I have continued to study and learn about the importance of mindset, personal growth, mind/body connectedness, wellness and positive psychology. I became a coach because I know that I can help others with their passions, uncover inspiration within, attain life balance, and reach personal and professional goals - while feeling less stuck, stressed and overwhelmed!  I love to help others grow while serving an accountability partner.

Flourish Wellness’ mission is to help people and communities thrive. It is so much fun to see clients go from “stuck" and stressed to flourishing and fully enjoying their lives. Who doesn’t want to be happier?!

Flourish! Create your ideal life and live with purpose.
