Maura Kennedy is the founder and expert behind 5 Star Health Coaching, a website dedicated to finding solutions to your health issues. Maura is passionate about helping others find good health by healing the mind as well as the body. She has received her training as a health coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and has also trained with Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo and the Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology.
It is Maura’s personal experience with chronic health issues that has led her to help others lead healthy, happy, and thriving lives. After a traumatic pregnancy, Maura was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and a couple years later, Lupus and Fibromyalgia. Maura spent years dealing with the negative effects of continuous use of Prednisone and other medications meant to help with her diagnoses. She expected to be on these medications for life, just having to deal with the awful side effects, until she herself made the effort to take control of her health and find any answer that would allow her to eradicate these medications from her life. Maura made numerous lifestyle, dietary, and medical changes, until ultimately she was able to get off of all of her Lupus and Fibromyalgia medications.
Because of her own personal health struggles, Maura understands the mental degradation that comes along with health issues. This is a large focus of her practice: to heal holistically, and to address more than purely physical health. She is also a huge proponent of addressing digestive and gut health, as she’s seen how helpful that has been in her own life.
One of Maura’s recent accomplishments has been organizing the Be Happy and Health Now summit, an online multiple-day program from the fall of 2015 where she presented interviews with prominent health experts and speakers. Over 2000 people signed up for the summit!
Maura has searched for years finding solutions to her health issues. She has personally used many natural, holistic health providers attempting to fix the root cause of the illness. Finding the root cause of the issue is key in finding a cure. Most western medicine practitioners treat the symptoms, not the root cause. In Maura’s quest to find the best solution to her own issues, she has been patients with some of the very best healers in the world. Maura’s vision is to bring these healers to you through her website, Your Holistic Concierge.
