Hi, I’m Amanda Essery!

I'm a Certified Metabolic Balance® Coach, Certified Functional Holistic Nutritionist, Registered Health Coach, Personal Trainer, and Pharmacy Technician.

My background allows me to bring together two worlds: an understanding of conventional healthcare and a practical, whole-body approach to nutrition and wellness. I believe the body isn’t broken, it’s responding to the food, stress, sleep, movement, hormones, and lifestyle inputs it receives every day.

Through Wildcat Health & Wellness, I help clients move away from confusing diets and one-size-fits-all advice. Using the personalized Metabolic Balance® program, we create a nutrition plan based on your unique blood values, health history, and individual needs. The goal is to support balanced blood sugar, steady energy, a healthier metabolism, improved digestion, and sustainable weight management, without extreme restriction or constantly guessing what your body needs.

My coaching style is warm, realistic, and judgment-free. I’ll help you understand your personalized plan, put it into practice in everyday life, navigate challenges, and build habits you can maintain long after the program ends.

This isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about learning how to work with your body again—with personalized nutrition, clear guidance, and support every step of the way.

Wildcat Health & Wellness is a personalized nutrition and wellness practice based in Vernon, British Columbia. We specialize in helping women 35+ who are experiencing changes in their energy, weight, metabolism, digestion, sleep, stress tolerance, and overall sense of well-being.

Our philosophy is simple: your body isn’t broken, it’s responding. Instead of relying on restrictive diets or generic wellness advice, we look at the bigger picture to better understand what your body may be asking for.

The Metabolic Balance® program is one of the personalized services offered through the practice. Using your blood values, health history, current symptoms, and individual needs, Metabolic Balance® creates a nutrition plan designed specifically for your body. You’ll also receive ongoing coaching to help you understand the plan, make it work within your lifestyle, and create sustainable habits.

Wildcat Health & Wellness blends evidence-informed nutrition with practical, whole-person support. Depending on your needs, coaching may also explore blood sugar balance, stress load, sleep, movement, digestion, daily routines, and the hormonal and metabolic changes that can occur through perimenopause and menopause.

You won’t be expected to overhaul your entire life overnight or follow an impossible routine. You’ll receive clear guidance, personalized support, and manageable next steps designed to help your body respond again.
