Welcome to YLH, my name is Nikki Phillips and I am a certified Integrative Nutrition and Hormone Health Coach based in Southport, CT. I believe we all have a more sustainable, healthier, and happier self within us, and I am here to guide you on the path towards yours.
Your lasting health is my mission.

What is a Health Coach?
A Health Coach is a supportive mentor who works with you and your medical doctors to help clients feel their best through food and lifestyle changes and personalized one-on-one encouragement.
What makes a Health Coach unique? To live a vibrant life, we all need holistic support. And as a Health Coach, that guidance and accountability – from exercise and nutrition to relationships, career, and spirituality – is exactly what we offer our clients.
How is Integrative Nutrition different? Unlike many mainstream approaches to health and wellness, Integrative Nutrition begins with a philosophy we call bio-individuality. This is simply the understanding that each of us is radically unique. Our physical, mental, emotional, and nutritional needs are one-of-a-kind. What you define as good health – and the path you take to get there – may not work for anyone else.
Rather than pushing cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all wellness methods, Integrative Nutrition Health Coaches take a deeply personalized approach with every client.
Testimonials
Jennifer Adell Efstathiou
Esthetician, Southport, CT
"As I started my journey into peri menopause I was looking for guidance from someone I could trust who was also in line with my core beliefs on how to approach health and wellness. I feel like I hit the jackpot in finding Nikki. She is a wealth of information and it’s clear she is one who lives by what she speaks. I feel far more comfortable knowing I have her in my corner and guiding me through all the hormonal changes this stage brings. Love you Nikki!"
Erin Myers-Albaridi
Board-Certified Physician Assistant, Southport, CT
“I have been practicing medicine for over 20 years. I have worked in many different fields and have recommended patients suffering from disease due to their unhealthy lifestyle to see a nutritionist or dietician. I met Nikki 4 years ago and have been lucky enough to have spent hours talking to her about her philosophy on health and wellness. Nikki’s knowledge and excitement goes beyond that of any health coach I have met. I encourage any of my patient’s who may be struggling with their health to schedule an appointment with her."

"Nikki is incredibly passionate about health, nutrition and self care. When we worked together, she asked thoughtful and intelligent questions to really help me uncover what it was I personally needed to focus on.
