hello, i’m Pamela.
I’m the founder of Wandermoon Collective and a health and wellness coach.
My own story with health and weight has unfolded over decades. It includes years of dieting, bariatric surgery, injuries, perimenopause, GLP-1 medication, losing a significant amount of weight, and eventually reaching a place I had spent most of my adult life trying to reach.
And then something interesting happened.
Life kept going.
There was still a body to live in. There was still food to figure out. I had strength to rebuild. I had many trips to take. Relationships, routines, aging, maintenance, ordinary Tuesdays, and a question I find much more interesting now:
What do I want my life to actually look like from here?
That question is a big part of why Wandermoon exists.
I didn’t become a health and wellness coach because I figured out the perfect way to do all of this. I am still very much a work in progress! I became one because I became deeply interested in what helps people make meaningful changes, what makes those changes sustainable, and what happens after the initial excitement of change wears off.
My lived experience is part of what brought me here. My training taught me how to turn that curiosity into work that is centered on you, not me.
Good to know

I help people navigate change and figure out what comes next.
A lot of my work happens in the space between making a change and figuring out how to live with it.
I have a particular interest in GLP-1 maintenance and preparing for maintenance. What happens when losing weight is no longer the primary project? How do you build routines that can evolve with you? What does food, movement, travel, social life, body image, and everyday life look like now? What do you want to keep, change, rediscover, or leave behind?
But Wandermoon isn’t only about GLP-1s.
People find their way here during all kinds of transitions. A change in health. Midlife. A goal finally reached. A long walk that shifted something. A season when the way you’ve always done things simply doesn’t fit anymore.
Sometimes the question is big. Sometimes it’s surprisingly specific.
Either way, we start with what matters to you.

I’m not here to hand you my answers.
Coaching with me is collaborative and centered on what matters to you. I listen closely, ask questions, notice what you’re already telling yourself, and help you make room for your own ideas about what might work.
There is no Pamela Plan.
I’m not going to tell you what to eat, prescribe medication or supplements, manage your GLP-1 dose or side effects, or give you another set of rules you’re supposed to somehow follow forever.
Instead, we get curious.
What matters to you right now? What’s already working? What keeps getting in the way? What are you ready for? What would you like to experiment with? What feels sustainable in the life you’re actually living?
My approach is grounded in behavior change and motivational interviewing, which starts with something I believe pretty deeply: you are the expert on your own life.
I bring the questions, the listening, the perspective, and sometimes a little gentle challenge. You bring your experience, your values, and the right to decide what happens next.
I don’t have your answers. But I know how to help you listen for your own.
I work within the scope of health and wellness coaching and alongside the medical, nutrition, and mental health professionals who may already be part of your care.
I know my lane. Good coaching is better because of it.

I trained as a health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, with additional training focused on GLP-1s and the behavior changes that can accompany their use.
I’m currently working toward board certification through the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching.
My work is grounded in evidence-based behavior change, motivational interviewing, and a person-centered approach that respects your autonomy, values, strengths, and lived experience.
My own experience with bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medication, significant weight loss, maintenance, long-distance walking, and the many changes that come with midlife informs my perspective.
But lived experience isn’t a credential, and credentials don’t make me the expert on your life.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you get here.
You might be approaching GLP-1 maintenance, already living it, navigating another kind of health or life transition, or simply realizing that the way you’ve been doing things doesn’t fit quite as well anymore.
You don’t need a perfect goal. You don’t need to eat a certain way, look a certain way, move a certain way, or have the “right” kind of health story.
You do need some curiosity about what might come next.
Wandermoon is a place where you can show up as you are, bring the questions you actually have, and explore what feels meaningful and sustainable for your life.
That’s where we start.
