Actively Well
WITH HEINI TALLENT
Health and wellness coaching for balance, resilience, and the confidence to work toward goals you're only dreaming of
"I was looking for consistency and accountability, but I have gained so much more than that!"
What is coaching all about?
I team up with you to navigate lifestyle changes, mindset shifts and habits around nutrition, stress management, movement, sleep, and connection. This could be eating well for sports performance while navigating gut health issues; reducing stress and balancing your nervous system with a full schedule; finding motivation to stick to your exercise routine.
You might be here because setting goals feels hard or maintaining consistency is a struggle. Or maybe your doctor told you to make lifestyle changes and you have no idea where to start. You're in the right place — you don't have to figure it out on your own!
Through coaching, you can get clear on your long-term goals, identify the next steps, and walk alongside a guide who helps you stay the course. We delve deep into your priorities, talk about your values, and work together to craft a plan that feels personalized, realistic, and sustainable.
I especially love working with:
Athletes and active women looking for balance between training and the other parts of your life — you want to perform well in your sport, at work and at home, but you can't focus on it all at once and always feel like something has to give. Working with women runners is a particular passion of mine.
Clients with gut health challenges like IBS, SIBO and food allergies, which means so many of the standard health and nutrition recommendations don’t apply or are harder to navigate — you need a more personalized plan for long-term wellness.
Busy high-achievers stuck in overwhelm — your responsibilities seem endless, your brain never switches off, and it seems impossible to stay consistent with good habits. You need help with stress management, boundaries, and setting the right goals.

Why "Actively Well"?
When your mind and body are in balance you have more energy, clarity, and focus for the things that matter most. You feel more confident, resilient, and productive. You're able to foster stronger relationships at home and at work, and you're a better team player too. You feel like an active participant and decision-maker in your own health.
My goal is to help you find that balance and resilience. Being actively involved in your wellness means being empowered to make decisions and having the confidence, resources and knowledge to make those choices. Wellness isn’t something that just happens — it’s something we create every day.

NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED HEALTH & WELLNESS COACH,
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH,
WOMEN'S RUNNING COACH
I’ve worked in health, wellness and athletic performance for a long time: I ran my own massage practice for 20 years and have been a certified running coach since 2015. When I discovered functional medicine health coaching, it felt like a natural next step. I bring into it my natural intuition and empathy, a fascination for the connections in the human body and mind, and a deep desire to keep learning and make a difference.
I don’t believe you’re exploring coaching because you lack knowledge or need to be told what to do. You likely already have ideas and insights, but real change isn’t one-size-fits-all. You deserve to be treated as a whole person and the true expert in your own life. Think of me as a guide, helping you reach the destination you choose while supporting your decisions and self-discovery as we journey together.
I’m a lifelong athlete — former basketball player, now a distance runner — as well as a mom, wife, and business owner. I’ve navigated SIBO, burnout, shifting hormones, and eating for sports performance and for gut health. While I often tell my clients “listen to your body,” I also know it’s not always so simple.
