About
Dr Deborah Vitale D.C.
For nearly two decades, I practiced chiropractic care, helping people overcome physical pain and live healthier lives. But during the pandemic, I encountered patients with unresolved issues—issues that went beyond what chiropractic care alone could address. This experience, combined with my personal health struggles, led me to Functional Health Coaching.
By viewing the body holistically and addressing the root causes of health challenges, I was able to heal myself and help others in a new way. Now, I am passionate about using Functional Health Coaching to empower my clients to regain their energy and feel like themselves again.
During the pandemic, I faced a turning point in both my personal and professional life. Like many, I was dealing with unexpected challenges, but for me, it went beyond the stress of the situation—I experienced a deep sense of burnout. Despite doing everything “right,” my body was not healing the way I expected. I was constantly tired, my hormones were out of balance, and I developed a persistent foot injury that simply wouldn’t improve. These struggles led me to realize that something more was going on, both in myself and in my patients.
This experience pushed me to dig deeper into functional health and explore how the body works as a whole system, not just a collection of symptoms. It was through this journey that I discovered the power of addressing the root causes of health issues, and ultimately, this led me to shift my focus to Functional Health Coaching.
