WHY SHE BECAME A HEALTH COACH

Countless Health Struggles

Before discovering health coaching, August Beverly worked as a Marketing Manager at a mid-sized agency, juggling tight deadlines and high expectations. On the surface, she appeared to have it all together, but behind the scenes, she faced challenges that felt overwhelming. She dreaded that time of the month—PMS symptoms hit hard, with bloating two weeks beforehand, painful cramps, irritability, and mood swings. Her energy was low, her skin constantly irritated, and she found herself stuck in a frustrating cycle of weight gain and loss, poor sleep, and high stress. Unhealthy coping mechanisms became her default, leaving her feeling like she was merely surviving rather than thriving.

In her mid-20s, August reached a turning point. Struggling with low self-esteem and social anxiety, she sought counseling—a decision that allowed her to unpack unresolved trauma and begin rewriting her story. It became one of the best investments she ever made. Years later, after dealing with unexplained health issues and unsatisfactory medical advice, August realized she needed to become her own health advocate.

Years of Self-Discovery

This period of self-discovery transformed August’s approach to health. She learned that true wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s holistic and deeply personal. She started by reducing the toxic burden in her life, eliminating pesticides, harmful cleaning products, artificial fragrances, and harmful personal care products. Within weeks, her PMS symptoms disappeared and skin irritation. Building on that progress, she focused on clean eating with high-protein meals, regular walks, and consistent strength training to build muscle. Gradually, her stress levels dropped, her energy skyrocketed, and she broke free from the cycle of weight fluctuations. For the first time, August felt vibrant and energized, both inside and out.

In 2021, the unexpected passing of her sister-in-law prompted her to reevaluate her life’s purpose. That tragic moment brought clarity and gave her the courage to pivot her career toward health and wellness. She earned her certification as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach from the renowned Institute for Integrative Nutrition, left Marketing, and started her health practice to help women navigate the same struggles she had overcome.

Turning Health Struggles into a Purposeful Career

August knows firsthand what it’s like to struggle with daily symptoms, try every solution, and still feel like no progress is being made. Through her own journey, she discovered the power of using food as medicine, fueling her body with the right kind of energy, and prioritizing her well-being.

Now, as a mom of two, August has deepened her commitment to reducing toxins and making healthy choices for her growing family. She is passionate about helping women and families achieve lasting wellness through simple, personalized strategies rooted in preventive health. Her approach focuses on the six core elements of health: food as fuel, regular movement, quality sleep, stress resilience, toxin reduction, and joy.

Through her ABH Method, August guides her clients to balance their blood sugar, build sustainable health habits, and create positive changes that feel effortless over time.
