Ann Peyton, MA, RN
Certified Health and Wellness Coach
I am a Wellcoach® Certified Health and Wellness Coach and also a MN licensed RN with many years of experience coaching clients and decades working as an RN and holistic and integrative health professional. I hold a M.A. in Holistic Health Studies from St. Catherine University and B.S. from the College of St. Benedict with certification in Public Health Nursing. I have also completed training and have experience in mindfulness meditation, motivational interviewing, and faith community nursing.
I provide one-on-one and phone based holistic Health and Wellness Coaching to individuals and small groups.
I have a wide range of experience providing care to patients ranging from premature infants to octogenarians in hospital, clinic, and public health settings. My current practice is focused on health and wellness coaching for adults seeking to improve or maintain their health through the practice of daily healthy habits.
Peyton Health and Wellness LLC is specifically focused on health and wellness coaching, and NOT an RN service, however, I can help you seek additional care as needed through my extensive knowledge of nursing and holistic/integrative health.
Why I became a health coach
I became a health coach, after decades of serving others in the role of an RN and PHN, because I firmly believe in the holistic approach (mind/body/spirit), the power of having a partner in the path to wellness, and because I am compassionate and committed to helping others, as I have helped myself, to continually strive to reach optimal health. This is achievable through loving and believing in yourself and the daily practice of healthy habits and striving for your personal best. And asking for help when you need it.
PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP – Wellcoaches®
INTERESTS – Reading, nutrition, fitness, and health coaching with holistic and integrative focus.
I also have a passion for perennial, kitchen herb, and native plant gardening.
