About Me
At the age of 50, I was in what most would consider peak physical condition. I was a gym owner, a personal trainer, and a health and nutrition coach. But my life changed drastically and unexpectedly in the spring of 2020 when I learned I have a rare autoimmune disease along with a rare antisynthetase syndrome. In May, they ultimately took my lungs.
As you can imagine, a double-lung transplant completely changed my world, forcing me to reimagine life and discover my new purpose. So, here I am, walking on a path I never considered I’d be traveling. Of course, this journey looks much different than my original plan, but I know there is a reason I’ve been chosen for this experience and I’m determined to use it for good.
I’ve been through other transformations throughout my life, and I have learned and grown from each one. They have all given me knowledge and skills that I’m now able to pass on to others through writing, speaking, coaching and mentoring.
Each of these events has brought me to discover my ultimate purpose. That is to glorify God by guiding and supporting women on their journeys to live healthy, fulfilling, exciting lives where they can LIVE LIFE WITH PURPOSE, too!
Hey, I’m Lana
My mission is to help women live a life that is happy, healthy, and fulfilled by providing them with the tools, guidance, and support needed to achieve their goals and optimize their well-being. I believe that true fulfillment comes from aligning our lives with our purpose and passions, and I strive to help women discover their true potential, find meaning and purpose in their journey, and create a life that is aligned with their values and beliefs.
I firmly believe that genuine fulfillment arises from aligning our lives with our purpose and passions. As a trauma-informed and master mindset life coach, I am dedicated to creating a safe and compassionate space for women. Here, they can explore their unique journeys, overcome challenges, and achieve their aspirations.
Understanding that each woman’s path is distinct, I honor their individual needs, values, and experiences. My coaching philosophy centers around the Christian faith. I believe a strong spiritual foundation can help women find peace, guidance, and a sense of purpose. Through my coaching, I seek to foster their spiritual growth and help women create lives that are deeply meaningful, joyful, and fulfilling.
Ultimately, my mission extends beyond individual transformation. I aspire to empower women to live intentionally, with purpose and passion, creating a positive ripple effect in the world.

My Professional Bio
I am an author, speaker, a certified nutrition and trauma-informed life coach. I continually research the latest information on spiritual growth, mental and physical health, and life transformation.
My mission is to empower women to live with intention, purpose, and passion, and create a ripple effect of positive change in the world.
I grew up in a small town in Southern Illinois. I moved to North Carolina at the age of 19 to begin my career in the travel industry, where I spent nearly 18 years. I then took a few years off before founding The Closet Ministry, a non-profit assisting those facing financial challenges. I’m an alumna of the Make-A-Wish® W.I.S.H. Society, a former personal trainer and gym owner.
