Holistic Wellness & Weight Loss Coaching for Women 40+
Meet Dr. Kisha: A Holistic Strategist Who Truly Gets It
Hello, I’m Dr. Kisha Pickford – holistic nutrition weight loss coach, nurse practitioner, and a hormone-informed metabolic & weight loss strategist – 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 (Ozempic® & 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.
