Hatch Health & Happiness

Certified Holistic Health & Wellness Coaching

My Education

I received my train­ing as a Health Coach from the Insti­tute for Inte­gra­tive Nutri­tion’s cut­ting-edge Health Coach Train­ing Program.

Dur­ing my train­ing, I stud­ied over 100 dietary the­o­ries, prac­ti­cal lifestyle man­age­ment tech­niques, and inno­v­a­tive coach­ing meth­ods with some of the world’s top health and well­ness experts. My teach­ers includ­ed Dr. Andrew Weil, Direc­tor of the Ari­zona Cen­ter for Inte­gra­tive Med­i­cine; Dr. Deep­ak Chopra, leader in the field of mind-body med­i­cine; Dr. David Katz, Direc­tor of Yale University’s Pre­ven­tion Research Cen­ter; Dr. Wal­ter Wil­lett, Chair of Nutri­tion at Har­vard Uni­ver­si­ty; Geneen Roth, best­selling author and expert on emo­tion­al eat­ing; and many oth­er lead­ing researchers and nutri­tion authorities.

My edu­ca­tion has equipped me with exten­sive knowl­edge in holis­tic nutri­tion, health coach­ing, and pre­ven­tive health. Draw­ing on these skills and my knowl­edge of dif­fer­ent dietary the­o­ries, I work with clients to help them make lifestyle changes that pro­duce real and last­ing results.

I received my Bach­e­lor’s Degree in Stu­dio Art and my Mas­ter’s Degree in Ele­men­tary Edu­ca­tion, both from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Mary Wash­ing­ton in Fred­er­icks­burg, Vir­ginia. I have spent the last sev­en years teach­ing 3rd and 4th grade in Fair­fax Coun­ty, Vir­ginia. Dur­ing my years of teach­ing, I was nom­i­nat­ed for the Out­stand­ing First Year Teacher Award. I have served as Lead Men­tor for five of my years of teach­ing, where I facil­i­tat­ed men­tor­ing rela­tion­ships for new teach­ers and helped them gain con­fi­dence as they learned to adjust to the demand­ing field of education.

My years of teach­ing expe­ri­ence, cou­pled with my lead­ing Health Coach train­ing, my accred­i­ta­tion by the Amer­i­can Asso­ci­a­tion of Drug­less Prac­ti­tion­ers, and my per­son­al life expe­ri­ence, enable me to help you cre­ate a com­plete­ly per­son­al­ized “roadmap to health” that suits your unique body, lifestyle, pref­er­ences, and goals.

Client Testimonials

See what Lydia’s clients have to say…

I’d say Lydia Buschen­feldt has changed my life, but that would­n’t be exact­ly true. What she does is even more pow­er­ful. Any­one can tell some­one else what changes they ‘need’ to make to live a health­i­er life. It takes some­one spe­cial to enable and empow­er you to change your own life. Lydia is that some­one spe­cial. Dur­ing every ses­sion, at every twist and turn and bump in the road, Lydia meets me where I am with an incred­i­ble amount of knowl­edge and patience, and helps me iden­ti­fy one or two steps for­ward to accom­plish the goals I have for myself. She knows that each jour­ney is dif­fer­ent, and cus­tomizes our ses­sions so our dis­cus­sions are tai­lored toward what I need in that moment to help me build the health, future and hap­pi­ness that I deserve.
