About Total Life & Wellness

Victoria Spencer Patterson, MBA
PCC, NBC-HWC, CWP
Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach

My name is Victoria. I am the founder of Total Life and Wellness and author of The Blog of Dreams. I am also the creator of The Holistic Wellness Dynamic ™, a coaching methodology based on the practice of combining respect and understanding for the interconnected and interdependent parts of the whole person, with the active process of pursuing wellbeing to effectively achieve change that is agile and sustainable. This approach provides a foundation for individuals and organizations to establish and implement achievable and viable, leadership, wellness and lifestyle goals; while improving relational dynamics, building resilience and increasing intrinsic motivation.

Having experienced success as well as failure in both life and business, I endeavor to create an environment that inspires others to imagine and achieve beyond what their circumstances would deem possible. My coaching and consulting are informed by my faith and by more than 20 years' experience in corporate governance, organizational dynamics, and wellness in the workplace. I bring my focus, passion, and dedication to all aspects of my life - and I am excited to help you to do the same.

My training includes certification as an Integrative Health and Wellness Coach by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (HCTP) and Level I Nutrition Coach certification by Precision Nutrition (PN1-NC). I have also earned certification as a Holistic Life, Career & Executive Coach through Goal Imagery® Institute, International School of Coaching Mastery, certification as a Master Life Coach through the Certified Life Coach Institute and certification as a Certified Coach through GoMasterCoach.

My experience, passion and training has led to accreditation as a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach through GALLUP, and as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation, board certification as a Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) through the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching, and recognition as a Certified Wellness Practitioner (CWP) by the National Wellness Institute.
