Individualized health and wellness coaching with an integrative approach
Hi, I'm Veronica Segbedzie
I'm a health professional—but I'm also someone who's been on the other side of the exam table.
When I faced my own health challenges, I felt unheard and overlooked. Despite my medical training, navigating the healthcare system was overwhelming. I had to advocate for myself, ask the hard questions, and dig deeper to find answers. That journey led me to explore other healing modalities—nutrition, stress management, emotional wellness, and more. It was through this exploration that I discovered integrative medicine.
I was healed through medical therapy, but I’ve stayed well through prevention, self-awareness, and holistic care. That experience transformed how I practice today.
Now, I combine my clinical expertise with a whole-person approach to help others feel seen, heard, and empowered in their own health journeys. Whether it’s managing chronic illness, navigating emotional stress, or uncovering the root cause of unexplained symptoms, I walk alongside my clients with compassion, curiosity, and care.
our mission
At SacredCharis, everything we do is rooted in a deeper calling to restore wellness in a way that is holistic, relational, and transformational.
We believe that healing is not just physical—it’s emotional, spiritual, and relational, and symptoms don’t exist in isolation. Our care model is different: we create space for you to share your story, ask questions, and be truly heard without judgment. By combining evidence-based medicine with functional nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and mind-body practices, we offer holistic support for your unique journey.

Whether you're aiming to improve nutrition, manage chronic conditions, or explore functional medicine, our coaching approach offers evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique health goals and life journey.

Real stories of transformation, healing, and empowerment.
Healing Beyond the Numbers
My hypertension didn't respond to medication alone. Through open dialogue with Veronica, we uncovered that chronic family stress was a major contributor. By addressing the emotional roots of my condition—setting boundaries, practicing self-care, and building resilience—my blood pressure improved, and so did my overall well-being.
Building Trust, One Step at a Time
As a young man with diabetes complications, I was wary of health professionals. I feared insulin would take away my independence and the foods I loved. Instead of pushing a rigid plan, Veronica listened. Together, we found a middle ground—managing my blood sugars with oral medications and small, sustainable dietary changes that didn’t eliminate my favorite foods. Now, I feel in control, not controlled.
Reclaiming Energy Through Thyroid Balance
I struggled with hypertension, fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, and brain fog—symptoms that were often dismissed as 'just stress.' After a thorough assessment, Veronica and I uncovered an underlying thyroid imbalance. With a blend of medical support, nutrition, and lifestyle changes, I regained my energy and clarity. My story reminds me that being truly listened to can reveal what lab results alone cannot.
Breathing Freely Again
I struggled with poorly controlled asthma that disrupted my daily life. Instead of just adjusting my medications, Veronica worked with me to identify my environmental triggers, build a personalized asthma action plan, and empowered me with tools to manage my condition. Today, I'm thriving—active, confident, and in control of my breathing.
Redefining Strength with Diabetes
When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and prescribed insulin, I felt like a failure. I resisted treatment, overwhelmed by shame and fear. Veronica met me where I was, offering education and emotional support. Together, we reframed insulin as a tool for healing, not defeat. Now, I manage my diabetes with confidence and grace.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I am trained in clinical assessment and care. However, SacredCharis services focus on integrative health coaching—not diagnosis or medical treatment. We work in partnership with your medical providers to complement your care with lifestyle, nutrition, and wellness strategies.
Initial consultations are typically 75–90 minutes, allowing space for a deep understanding of your story. Follow-up sessions are 45–60 minutes. Frequency varies based on your goals—some clients meet biweekly or monthly. We'll co-create a plan that works for you.
Both! We offer one-time consults, as well as 3- and 6-month coaching packages that include progress tracking, support between sessions, and customized resources. A full service menu is available on our Services page.
