You realize things need to change.
Maybe you are…
-
Your medications are being added one by one, and the doses keep going up. You notice weight gain as a side effect of your diabetes medicines, and it feels like you’re stuck in a vicious cycle. You worry you’ll follow the same path as loved ones who faced serious complications of diabetes later in life. Deep down, you want something different—to stay healthy, active, and present for your children and grandchildren.

Ever since menopause, you’ve noticed the weight creeping up. You feel heavier, your energy is low, and it’s frustrating. You don’t want to rely on a GLP-1 agonist—or if you’re already on it, you’re not tolerating the side effects and know you can’t stay on medication forever. What you really want is to take charge of your health, and you’re ready for support to begin that journey.
-
After the scare of a cancer diagnosis and the challenges of treatment, you’ve reached remission. You feel grateful for this second chance and want to keep it that way. You know lifestyle plays a role in reducing the risk of recurrence, and you’re ready to do your part—to stay healthy, strong, and present for the life ahead.
Things can be different than the way they are today.
Hi, I’m Miyeon.
I help clients to control diabetes, lose weight, and reclaim life after cancer.
I’m a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach with over 30 years of clinical experience as a physician.
I believe health and wellness coaching should be a space where all parts of you are honored and welcomed with compassion. As a board-certified health and wellness coach with a physician background, I can be your partner on this journey. Together, we will explore your value, goals, and realistic, actionable steps. I will be the accountability partner you can count on. My hope for our time together is that it creates meaningful change in your life.
My Specialties
Diabetes Coaching
Depending on medications alone has its limitations. Taking charge of your lifestyle is key to truly managing your diabetes. With the right guidance and tools, it’s not only possible to control diabetes— some people even succeed in reversing it. I’ll provide the support and partnership through your journey.
Weight Loss Coaching
Relying solely on strict diets or medications isn’t sustainable, and it’s easy to feel stuck on your weight loss journey. Lasting change comes from reconnecting with yourself, setting realistic goals, and taking meaningful action. I will offer the guidance and support you need for a healthier, more confident you.
Cancer Survivorship Coaching
You’ve faced a frightening diagnosis and made it through the challenges of treatment. Now it’s time to rebuild and create the fulfilling life you deserve. I will challenge you to focus on all aspects of your health, helping you set realistic goals and take meaningful steps forward. I will be your accountability partner.
Behind Sonamu Health Coaching
Sonamu (소나무) is the Korean word for pine tree (pronounced “soh-NAH-moo”).
Sonamu symbolizes resilience, longevity, and renewal. Pine trees stay green through every season, enduring storms, snow, and drought. They embody vitality and the strength to thrive in all circumstances, reflecting the heart of health coaching: helping clients stay grounded and strong through life’s challenges. Like the steady growth of a pine tree, true health and well-being come from consistent habits and meaningful lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. The pine also represents simplicity and a return to nature, aligning with the values of whole-person wellness, balance, and mindful living. As a Korean word, Sonamu honors my cultural roots, grounding my practice in authenticity while welcoming people from all backgrounds.
