Heather McCarel,

Wander Coach

I'm dedicated to empowering women over 40 to overcome the challenges of midlife weight loss and menopause with confidence.

Not long ago, I was dealing with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, low energy, a sluggish metabolism, daily anxiety and panic attacks, heavy and painful periods, mood swings, and night sweats. By the age of 40, I found myself at my heaviest weight. Determined to take control of my health, I embarked on a transformative journey, losing over 85 pounds and 85 inches without surgery or injections. This experience ignited my passion for coaching and helping others.

Pam Gerth

PG Integrative Wellness


For the past 22 years I’ve been involved in the health and wellness field, but becoming an Integrative Health Practitioner has opened up a whole new world with the ability to use Functional Medicine lab testing to dive much deeper. Additionally, using the support of a myriad of other professionals to incorporate many different modalities to heal has been very helpful in a client's journey to heal. As I have been on a path to heal for years now, I have learned so much and feel it is my time to pay it forward and help others. Using my diverse background of continued education, in-depth study, certifications and years of experience, I am able to draw upon many disciplines to create far more than a “one-size fits all” approach. Each of my private clients gets a personalized program developed just for them and their unique needs. I’ve found that helping people discover their underlying root cause imbalances and developing a customized protocol is the difference maker when it comes to ensuring that my clients get the exact results that they’ve been searching for.
