Meet Dr. Annmarie Waite

Hello, I'm Dr. Annmarie Waite, and I warmly welcome you to Girlfriends Health. I'm here to embark on a profound journey of well-being and self-discovery with you. You see, I was once where you are now.

​

Most people recognize me for my Ph.D. in nursing, my role as a women's health Nurse Practitioner, and my successful career as a Nursing Professor. But beneath the surface lies a story few know. What you don’t know about me is that I battled such insecurity that I couldn't even name three things I liked about myself. There was a time when self-doubt clouded my aspirations, and I feared to let my inner light shine. Have you ever felt that internal tug of fear, that voice holding you back? I've been there too.

​

So, how did I arrive at the place I stand today? My life is woven with lessons, and this is just one strand of my narrative. You might say my passion for well-being was kindled by a somber experience. At the tender age of 12, my father's sudden demise from a massive heart attack and stroke, at only 43, left an indelible mark on me. It shaped my choices, compelling me to seize control of my own health and become a beacon of prevention.

​

I entered an arranged marriage at 16, and for many years, I grappled with insecurities due to the abuse I endured. Even after summoning the courage to break free, return to school, and become a nurse to secure custody of my children, self-doubt still loomed over me. Even though I had embarked on a new life, no one knew the depths of my sadness, and it held me back.

​

Five years ago, the passing of my sister at age 55 struck a profound chord within me. I felt a pang of remorse and powerlessness, watching her unable to alter her lifestyle. This compelled me to explore an unconventional path, one that transcended the boundaries of traditional medicine. Losing a sibling was heart-wrenching and it cemented my decision to delve into health coaching, igniting my personal transformation. While I had altered my genetic health trajectory with lifestyle changes and appeared vibrant externally, I knew I had work to do internally.

​

My insecurities had held me captive for far too long—until I made a promise to myself, the first step toward unlocking a world of possibilities. With unwavering determination, I embarked on an extraordinary adventure, where health, self-discovery, and personal growth converged to shape the person I yearned to be. And so, my journey to living my best life began.

​

I'm here to guide you back into the driver's seat of your health. Coaching, in essence, is a partnership built on inquiry. Your role is to embrace curiosity, while mine is to listen attentively so I can help you tune into your desires, shatter limiting beliefs, and shed those that no longer serve you. Together, we'll work to bring your vision to life.

​

If you're prepared to take that initial stride, to make a promise to yourself and open the door to a realm of possibilities, schedule your clarity call. Embark on your transformation journey today!
