Meet Your Health Coach

Stephanie Ortiz is a certified Health Coach and the founder of Health Coach Pempi, an wellness practice founded in 2019 to help women master the psychology of habit change.

When I was 15, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. The BRCA test showed it wasn't genetic - it was from decades of stress.

That's when I knew I wanted to help prevent lifestyle diseases.

But I had my own problem:

I was a certified health coach stuck at 1,234 steps a day. I'd get breathless singing one song. I knew what to do but couldn't make it stick.

Everything changed when I stopped fighting my brain and started working with it.

Now I help women develop walking habits that feel natural and sustainable - the kind that last years, not weeks.

No gym required. No perfect motivation needed.

Walking isn't just about steps. It's about walking toward the life you want.

My approach:

  • Energy first, weight loss second

  • Psychology of habits and change over willpower

  • Meet you where you are

If you're tired of starting over every Monday, I'm here to help.
