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
