Meet Dr. Kisha: A Holistic Coach Who Truly Gets It

Hello, I’m Dr. Kisha Pickford, a board certified nurse practitioner and a holistic nutrition weight loss coach at Ample Health & Wellness.


With more than 24 years of experience as an advanced practice nurse, I’ve shifted my focus to helping women, especially those using GLP-1 medications, achieve lasting weight loss through holistic, sustainable support.

 

I know firsthand how complex this journey can be. I’ve been on GLP-1 weight loss medications myself —starting with semaglutide (Wegovy®) and now taking tirzepatide (Mounjaro®). These tools were essential in jumpstarting my weight loss journey. But even with meal plans and calorie targets from my provider, I still experienced stalls, frustrations, and moments of uncertainty.

 

What surprised me most? The suggestion that I may need to stay on weight loss medication indefinitely just to maintain my results. That moment sparked something deeper in me. I knew there had to be more …more tools, more options, more support. Not just medically, but mentally, nutritionally, and emotionally.

Here’s a glimpse of what reclaiming your health can really look like, inside and out:
Before
After
"This transformation isn’t just about weight lost. It’s about gained wellness ...mindset, energy, confidence, and freedom. I walk this journey with you because I’ve walked it myself."

So, I began researching, studying, and, more importantly, talking to other women. What I discovered was powerful:

We’re not alone.
We’re not doing it wrong.
We’re just not being given the whole picture.

And that’s what I’ve set out to change.

At Ample, I blend my clinical background with evidence-based wellness strategies to help women 40+ lose weight, feel better in their bodies, and gain the confidence to maintain results, with or without medication. Through the FRESH Start Framework and holistic coaching programs, I provide the guidance that traditional clinics often leave out.

Proudly Certified Holistic Nutrition Weight Loss Coach

I earned my Holistic Nutrition Weight Loss Coach Certification through FIT CHICKS Academy®, a program rooted in science-based, mind-body practices. This ensures every woman I coach receives expert support, compassionate care, and practical tools for real-life success.

Micro‑Certification: GLP‑1 Lifestyle Integration Coach

I’m additionally trained through FIT CHICKS Academy® to help women 40+ use (or transition off) GLP‑1 medications wisely by blending medication, nutrition, mindset, and habits so results are safe, sustainable, and personalized.

  • Guidance that pairs GLP‑1 use with food freedom, mindset, and habits (not just meal plans)

  • Coaching for plateaus, side effects, and real‑life routines (travel, work shifts, busy seasons)

  • Confident off‑ramping support so you don’t regain the weight

If you’re a woman over 40 navigating weight loss with or without GLP-1 weight loss medications, you don’t have to do it alone. I’d be honored to walk beside you.
