Credentials

Hi, I’m Lisa Spector, owner of Mindfully Aware Health & Wellness Coaching LLC. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Education and an Integrative Health and Wellness Coaching Certification from Duke Integrative Medicine.

I was in the first cohort in the United States to become Nationally Board Certified as a health and wellness coach in 2017 by the National Board of Medical Examiners.

I have spent hundreds of hours professionally coaching in the Springfield, Missouri area as well as mentoring emerging coaches at Duke Integrative Medicine.

My Story

I grew up on a farm in Florida where I spent much of my time outside in the sunshine. I loved the time this afforded me to reflect and observe the natural world. That love of nature and the wonder as to how it all worked, eventually led me to a science and gifted ed. teaching career.

Helping guide others in a way that enabled and empowered them drew me to seek a career in health and wellness coaching. I chose Duke Integrative Medicine after much research. This turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.

In 2022, I was honored with the “Best of Springfield” Award as a Health and Wellness Coach. You can read the full press release here.

When I’m Not Coaching

I have many passions some of which include creating in the kitchen, hiking, photography, biking, gardening spending time with friends and family, and pet sitting for furry family members.
