Meet Gretchen A Fabian! 

Gretchen A Fabian is a Health & Wellness Coach.

I have a background in health care as a RN, Nurse Educator and Health Coach.  My personal struggle with 20 years of chronic pain (plus a long list of other symptoms!) and the long, ongoing, discouraging search for answers is what led me to where I am today. 

My passion is to help others who feel helpless with their current symptoms of chronic pain and fatigue, who are at the point of just accepting this is their only reality.  I'm here to tell you that you can find the root cause of your symptoms and you have the power to take steps to heal your body naturally.  You might feel like you're stuck in this suffering and all you can do is survive day to day.  I know your struggle and I know there's still hope.

Thank you so much for being here with me.  I hope to get to connect and how we can work together on your health journey today! 

With Open Arms,

Gretchen

It All Started...

On New Year’s Eve when my husband and I finally made it home after I was discharged from my 2 week hospital stay with multiple invasive procedures and surgeries, I knew things would never be the same again.  I wasn’t sure how the future would unfold, but I knew that I was different than before and I felt that maybe it actually wasn’t such a bad thing. 

The trauma I faced during that hospital stay held the final piece of the puzzle that I just never knew was the answer to the severity of my own personal health struggle for at least 20 years prior!  

I spent those 20 years with neck and back pain that just never seemed to have a place of complete release.  I never had answers.  I was made to feel like “it was all in my head”.  Even when my body started showing structural spinal changes and lack of mobility, no one could help me figure out what the cause was.  I tried everything there was to try with constant hope that the next thing will finally provide answers… but it never did.  

Not until my traumatic hospitalization would I find out that there was something severely wrong since my birth.  I was so grateful to have answers but so angry that my suffering took such tragedy to finally have validation and cause.  I was sick of just treating symptoms, being told to lose weight, being told it was “anxiety” or “all in my head”. 

My search for the root cause of my struggles didn’t stop there.  I knew my road to recovery was going to take a lot more depth especially after a lifetime of stressors that my body had to endure.  Through my self discovery and healing journey, I found my calling to help others who are struggling with chronic pain and fatigue to become empowered and take charge of their life again.

But Then Everything Changed...

I realized that I had no other choice but to take charge of my symptoms, my health and my life.  I was at my absolute low with disability from neurological conditions, spinal conditions, movement disorders, chronic pain, fatigue... and the list goes on.  I used information that I've researched over years of my life on functional medicine and holistic health to dive deep into my symptoms and find out what my root causes were to my ongoing symptoms and how to begin my transformation to healing and optimizing my quality of life. 

And guess what? It worked!  I discovered solutins to heal my body naturaly.  I can now take long walks again, I can carry a purse on my shoulder, I can travel, I feel relief of muscle tension when I stretch, I'm present with my family and loved ones, I can focus and I have energy that I haven't had in so long.
