Hi, I’m Robin!
Hi. I’m Dr. Robin Pfaff. I am so glad you are here. I would like to get to know you because I, too, have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years and I know exactly how frustrating coping with it can be.
I have experienced that same hopeless feeling you probably have also, having tried so many strategies that were only marginally helpful, or didn’t work at all or actually made things worse!
Yes, I too have been down that long, lonely road trying to find something that works. I am here to tell you that Fibromyalgia Wellness Coaching turned my life completely around.
Working with my own Fibromyalgia/Mentor Coach resulted in me trying a supplement I had never heard of which made a huge difference in the length and quality of my sleep and started me on a positive spiral of healing and feeling better.
This is only one example of how Fibromyalgia Coaching helped me feel so much better that I am now able, most of the time, to do the things that are most important me.
Professional Bio
Prior to discovering Fibromyalgia Wellness Coaching I worked as a psychotherapist and educator for over 25 years specializing in women’s issues and marriage counseling.
I have a doctoral degree in educational psychology and counseling and a master’s degree in human development and a bachelor’s degree in family and consumer science.
I have always been in the business of helping women transform their lives so they can live their best life and reach their full potential.
When I found out about Fibromyalgia Wellness Coaching I thought I might really like being a Fibromyalgia Coach.
Because Fibromyalgia Wellness Coaching is a unique treatment option that is essentially:
- one part wellness coaching
- one part life coaching and
- one part health education
I pivoted in my career and trained as a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach® with the International Fibromyalgia Coaching Institute and as a Certified Health and Wellness Coach with Wellcoaches.
I am thrilled to say I do like it very much!
I really love working with my fibromyalgia clients!
My Coaching Training:
I completed the initial 3 Month Certified Fibromyalgia Advisor® program with the International Fibromyalgia Coaching Institute, fibromyalgiacoachinginstitute.
I also completed the Certified Health and Wellness Coach program with Wellcoaches, Wellcoachesschool.com. Wellcoaches was the first coaching school for health and wellness professionals who already have education and training in the allied health fields and defines the gold standard for the field of health and wellness coaching.
I am also an author!
In 2024 I published my first book, Living Your BEST Life with Fibromyalgia. In the book I help you create your unique holistic game plan so you can love your life again.
Throughout the book, you will learn skills and strategies to revitalize not only your physical well-being but also your emotional and mental wellness, your social well-being, and your experience of self-transcendence or spirituality.
You can order your book HERE!
If I am asked what motivates me?
I answer that I am determined to be fully present and active in my life as a coach, friend, daughter, sister, wife, Mom, Bonus Mom and Mom in law to four amazing young adult children and their spouses and Nana to six awesome grandchildren!
My husband, Ron, and I delight in living in the beautiful Denver, Colorado area. In our free time you can find us walking, hiking, biking and camping in our RV. We are grateful to be able to travel often to visit friends and family.
My own health journey is an integral part of my coaching process and I am committed to fostering my own physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being.
And my goal is to help my fibromyalgia clients to do the same.
My clients continue to amaze me with their tenacity to keep going and keep seeking solutions in the face of many obstacles.
I am inspired by their determination to take charge of their health and make positive changes in their lives. You will find some of the testimonials and success stories my clients have been so generous to share on the website.
I would be delighted to talk with you about how I could be helpful in getting you back to doing the things you want to do and loving your life again!
