Coaching Wellness From Personal Experience<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Maureen Kemeny talks with her clients about overcoming obstacles, she\u2019s speaking from personal experience. In 2004, Kemeny was involved in a major accident when her car was broadsided by a tourist bus. Three different neurosurgeons told her she needed surgery and would probably never run, bike or swim again. But Kemeny was determined to prove them wrong. She rested and took care of her body. Within five years she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, ran the Boston Marathon and completed a half Ironman \u2013 all at age 45+.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cWe put limitations on ourselves that don\u2019t need to be there,\u201d said Kemeny, 57. \u201cSome people think, \u2018I\u2019m a certain age so I can\u2019t do this\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m physically incapable of doing that.\u2019 But those are merely obstacles, and there are ways to work around them.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

That\u2019s where health and wellness coaching comes in. Kemeny says she was always interested in health and fitness. After graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in psychology and master\u2019s in counseling and assessment, the Canadian native became a school psychologist in Ontario. But the school board cut their budget and got rid of most of their support staff. Kemeny continued working with the district as a contractor, but things had changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cMy true passion has always been a conglomerate of psychology, sports, health and wellness. And I thought to myself, \u2018How do I put all of that together?\u2019\u201d Kemeny said. \u201cI researched a lot of coaching programs and found one that really aligned with my own personal values. I got my certification and started my own business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Kemeny committed to running her business with a holistic approach, because everyone\u2019s needs are so different. Some people have poor nutrition and lack of exercise, while others need to work on personal growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

With each client, Kemeny addresses fitness, nutrition, lifestyle habits and self-care, because to her they are all connected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeannine Brown Miller, 55, had been dabbling in holistic health practices for most of her life. But she says the information she gathered on her own never quite fit together. There was always something missing. That is, until she met Kemeny.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cI developed a serious skin condition that I didn\u2019t want to treat with medicine and was seeking assistance for holistic care,\u201d Brown Miller, a resident of Lewiston, said. \u201cI met Maureen two years ago and frankly she changed my life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In addition to skin care treatment, Brown Miller received nutritional guidance and saw an overall boost in her health. She also lost 25 pounds in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cMaureen [helped] me through nutrition and her expert knowledge, all was balanced and in control. Now I am back to my original comfortable weight and more importantly, never felt better physically. I have referred many people to her for a true transformation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Says Kemeny: \u201cI truly believe that good health starts from the inside out. Someone needs to be there to ask the right questions, and understand what little changes can implemented to help make a big difference. I love helping people get to a place of inner peace \u2014 using fitness, health and nutrition \u2014 is so rewarding.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
