Registered Dietitians in Ann Arbor Michigan - Janet Simpson

I am a Clinical Dietitian at University of Michigan Hospitals, an educator at the Eastern Michigan University, and most importantly, a devoted Daughter, Wife, Mom, Gramma and Dream Achiever Coach!

I love "Wellness": Our Body, Mind and Spirit connected. While it is true that "we are what we eat", it is also true that there are many non-dietary requirements for a wholly nourished life. My coach training helps me work with clients, patients, students and people, (like you), who want to live the life they were MEANT to live... A focus that inspired my title of "Dream Achiever Coach". Achieve your dream of living a Nourished Life.

Through "Nourish Your Life" I help people feed their bodies, minds and spirits and LIVE life as the great, exciting adventure that it is!

I married my childhood sweetheart, Chuck, when I was 21. Our family grew rapidly, with 3 children arriving in the course of 4 years. A stay-at-home Mom, I was active in community, church and volunteer work. I enjoyed preparing meals for church functions, shut-ins and social gatherings, which led me to begin a small catering business.

Life took an unexpected turn when a car accident/miracle changed everything. Click this link to read my story: "Junkyard Janet".

My lengthy recovery period gave me time to re-evaluate my life, review my achievements, my dreams and appreciate being alive! I truly understood that God had a greater purpose for my life.

While my children were at home, I took a few college classes and found that I loved education. After they grew up, and I was able to devote more time to studying, we all went to college together!

My first degree was in Mental Health/Social Work. It was an excellent education and it taught me that social work was "not for me".

I had always dreamed of being a Registered Dietitian but was afraid of the chemistry aspect. After (barely) surviving my first chemistry class, I gained the confidence I needed to continue and complete my BS in Dietetics and my MS in Human Nutrition.

I am an enthusiastic advocate of finding adventures and living them! Although I am not particularly athletic, I recently went to Honolulu to walk a fund-raising marathon ~ an experience I did not want to miss! I trained and participated and shared this most wonderful experience with a dietitian friend, Judy, and my husband, (who didn't train for the event and learned why he should have!).

I love to work with people who are "up" for big adventures; ready to "go for" positive changes in their lives or the way they live them.

If you want to live your life wholly, and change your "I wish I had's" to "Wow! I did's", I am the perfect coach for you! I'll help you live the life of your dreams! Don't be just a day-dreamer - be a Dream Achiever!

About Nourish Your Life™ Coaching

Getting Started
We begin by assessing where you are now, looking at where you want to be and when you want to get there. (It's imperative that my coaching style fits your needs. Our initial session enables us to see if we "connect well".) Next, we'll put these elements together to create a strategy that will empower you to attain your goals.

The Process
We meet once a week, by phone or in person. (Some people will ask to take on assignments in between sessions, to accelerate their progress.) You may want to chart your progress by completing assessments and coaching forms on a regular basis.

The Outcome
As you achieve your original goals, you may uncover new dreams to pursue. You may choose to continue to work with me on these, or you might choose to plateau in your new place for a while, and use my coaching skills to help you on an "as needed" basis.
