About Appelbaum Wellness

Barbara Appelbaum

I'm Barbara B. Appelbaum and I believe, above all else, that if you proactively manage your wellness now, you will have fewer issues later. Wouldn't it be great to feel well today and always?

I am a passionate coach with first-hand knowledge, expertise and genuine empathy who brings out the authentic potential in my clients, especially when they may not recognize it on their own. Having experienced the process of learning to regard ill-health and life's adversities as a gift and making my own life one of meaning and purpose, I understand the courage necessary to take steps toward positive, lasting change.

In addition to holding two advanced degrees (MBA, MAT), as a seasoned professional I have over 24 years experience in business development and marketing communications, half of which were in the healthcare sector. Throughout my professional career, I've developed skills as a leader as well as those of a compassionate mentor and have always been well respected by colleagues and clients.

After being diagnosed with a chronic illness in June 2006, my life changed forever. This challenge made me realize the importance of finding my purpose and launched me on a new journey, passionately seeking what my life might offer. From the time I was young, my entire life has been based on the premise of giving back. Therefore, it seemd only natural to pursue coaching with the intent of influencing and changing lives for the positive.

In 2009 I became a Certified Professional Coach and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner targeting wellness. As such, I help people connect the mind, body and spirit so as to live in the moment and realize wellness and clarity in every aspect of their lives. I believe that one's biography is their biology so I assist people in making small sustainable choices that lead to remarkable, lasting changes.

Coaching affords me the opportunity to help others realize joy in their own life journey. People learn to see challenges, especially those that are health-related, as opportunities to discover choice, live purposefully and be well. My goal is engage, motivate and inspire my clients toward leading a healthier, more purposeful life and to see adversity as irrelevant to their energetic wellbeing.

As a result of working with me, people create a personal awareness that leads to a balanced, strong and abundant life both personally and professionally. Sometimes people are frozen by fear and can't move forward. This occurs because they associate it with false expectations based on past experiences. With the support of coaching, people view forward movement as an opportunity that equates with personal growth and empowerment, improved wellness, as well as increased self-esteem.

As owner of Appelbaum Wellness LLC, I parnter with my clients and workshop participants to challenge their status quo, live in the moment on their terms, and focus on strategies that bring their unique potential to life so they can thrive in forward movement.
