"The Greatest Wealth is Health"

 Hi, I’m Stephanie Bonelli.

I’m a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) with functional medicine training. More importantly, I’m someone who has lived with autoimmune disease myself.

For much of my early life I didn’t feel well. After years of navigating the conventional healthcare system with lupus and Lyme disease, I began to understand just how powerful everyday lifestyle factors could be. When I focused on nutrition, prioritized daily movement, protected my sleep, and made space for real connection and time in nature, my body started to respond. I wasn’t “cured,” but I began to thrive in a way I hadn’t before.
That experience changed the direction of my life and eventually led me into health coaching. I wanted to help others who feel stuck, exhausted, or overwhelmed by autoimmune conditions find practical, sustainable ways to feel better in their own bodies.

How I Work

At Funktional Health Coach, I partner with clients who want support around the lifestyle pieces that influence how they feel day to day. We focus on small, realistic changes in areas like:

• Nutrition and eating patterns that support energy and reduce inflammation

• Sleep and stress management

• Movement that works with your body

• Building routines that can flex when life (or symptoms) get unpredictable

I use a client-centered approach grounded in positive psychology and behavior change. We start where you are, build on your strengths, and create a plan that actually fits your life — not someone else’s ideal version of health.
My role is to be your thinking partner and accountability support while you continue working with your medical team. Coaching is complementary, not a replacement for medical care.
