It brings me great joy that you are here and interested in a plant-based provider for your journey. I myself have always had a love of science so I obtained a B.S. in Biology. Since then, my passion for health and wellness has blossomed and continues to evolve with time.
Having encountered my own chronic health conditions, I found healing in a plant-based lifestyle accompanied with lifestyle modification.
I embarked on this journey to heal myself and now my mission and passion is to help share this information with others. As a 35 year old mother of two, I know what it’s like to lose your health but also what it is like to regain one’s quality of life. My goal is to help you improve your life and to help you give your body the support it needs to heal!

I take a holistic approach and incorporate health and wellness coaching, nutrition, and movement into my practice and my signature program. These are available on an a la carte basis but I truly believe the best approach to disease prevention and healing is a comprehensive one.

Voltz Health & Wellness Coaching is dedicated to partnering with you to achieve your wellness goals. Beth supports individuals who are stuck in a constant struggle with chronic pain or sadness, battling inflammation, weight issues, sleeplessness, or elevated blood test results. These clients are ready to move forward, eager to feel relief, and reclaim control over their future. Together, we design a healthy, achievable plant-based lifestyle that fosters sustainable results. We tackle health challenges at their root, while cultivating enduring wellness, healing, peace of mind, and increased vitality for life!

Beth has experienced her own transformation through plant-based eating. In December, 2017, she had to leave her job of 30 years as a music educator due to her own battles with pain and weight issues. She encountered challenges in carrying out basic activities such as going up stairs or participating in meetings. She could no longer even imagine setting up the stage for my middle school orchestra!
Her journey from pain to relief began in 2018 after watching the movie, “Forks Over Knives”. Having recently completing the research for her EdD dissertation, she gained a greater understanding and admiration for the research and outcomes showcased in this film. It was truly impressive to see the profound influence of dietary changes on people’s lives, which was both evident and inspiring!

Since then, she has gained valuable knowledge and skills. She recently achieved Root-Cause Health Coach certification from Lifestyle Prescriptions University, following previous certifications in Plant-based Coaching from the Food Revolution Network, and Whole Foods Plant-based Nutrition from Cornell University. Through this journey, she has shed 50 pounds and maintained the weight loss, was able to discontinue BP medication after 22 years, and at the age of 68, even jogged the whole way to the end of her first-ever 5K race! She is now enthusiastic about assisting others in their health endeavors, supporting them through each step of the way!

As a Certified Functional Nutrition Lifestyle Coach and Professional Chef specializing in gut health, I empower individuals to achieve vibrant health and well-being through plant-based nutrition, clean eating, and holistic wellness practices.

I have been a Whole Food Plant based eater for the past ten years. I have type 2 Diabetes and Cardio Vascular Disease which I am reversing with using food as medicine. I have transitioned off medication by using a whole food plant based diet.

I help my clients transition to a whole food plant based diet and help them reverse cronic conditions by using a Whole Food Plant Based way of eating.

I have been an impassioned plant-based nutrition specialist for many years and I provide real life expertise, support, and guidance to empower people to achieve their health and situational goals and create, what I call, a Plant-Based Thrivestyle™.

My journey started back in 2017 when my family of five watched the documentaries, What the Health, Forks Over Knives, and Plant Pure Nation. What followed was a complete transition to a plant-based life for all of us. We took this one step at a time, cutting out animal products and then working to eliminate processed junk foods while at the same time increasing our daily consumption of a variety of plants. We were encouraged along the way by the myriad of health benefits we quickly noticed. Feeling so good and watching my family experience these benefits motivated me to dive into learning all I could about the science and research behind plant-based nutrition. From this deep dive and from years of trial and error, I figured out how to make this work for my entire family in our real, day-to-day lives, without giving up social events, going out to eat, traveling, and hosting family and friends.

Whether you’re plant-curious, fully plant-based, or somewhere in-between, I have been there and would love to help you learn how to easily, sustainably, and joyfully thrive while eating more plants!

Do you know people who want to eat more whole, plant-based foods but don’t know how to do it successfully? Or who are struggling with digestive issues they can’t resolve?

Well, through my coaching programs, my busy clients learn to cook delicious, life-giving meals while spending less money on food and less time in the kitchen. I’m helping them resolve a variety of issues causing gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, you name it. As a result, they have more energy, think more clearly, and sleep more soundly.

In fact, my client Jenny learned to cook a variety of whole food, plant-based recipes, and loves it! She’s lost 25 lbs, lowered her cholesterol 35 points, and her doctor is no longer bugging her about taking statin drugs. She went from experiencing daily gas and bloating to having none at all. She has more energy, less brain fog, and sleeps soundly.

As a coach, I love helping my clients feel better using plants as medicine. My clients meet their weight goals, discover food sensitivities, balance blood sugar, resolve emotional eating, and soothe cravings. As a result, they feel balanced, sleep well, enjoy exercising, and eat to live. They recognize when their body is out of balance and know how to get it back in balance. It takes courage to get started, but it’s a journey well worth beginning!

Laura bid farewell to 35 lbs of excess weight, painful knee arthritis, intense hot flashes, severe digestive issues with chronic bloating and abdominal pain, and stage 3 chronic kidney disease. Lost in a maze of nutritional confusion, Laura tried extreme measures like diet pills, meal replacement shakes, calorie counting and restriction, keto diets and over-exercising.

Laura discovered whole food, plant-based eating and committed to eating this way. Until then, her beliefs were shaped entirely by gimmicks, marketing, and falsehoods. Laura began researching everything related to this lifestyle. Understanding the science behind how a diet rich in plants and free from processed and animal-derived foods promotes health was transformative. Laura became a private WFPB chef, helping women transform their health through weight loss and reversing chronic conditions by preparing delicious oil-free meals made from plants that their entire families enjoyed. She then became a certified nutrition and wellness coach and helps individuals discover their best, healthiest selves through the power of food.

My journey to becoming a health coach started in 2012 when I noticed how my health was being affected by my dietary and lifestyle choices.

In addition to making lifestyle changes, studying the latest research and adopting a whole food plant-based diet, I have dramatically changed my health for the better.
