The HEALTH CATALYST "whole person" approach helps people eat better, make healthier lifestyle choices, and prioritize self-care to achieve better health from the inside out.
HEALTH CATALYST coaching, education, and advisory services help employers improve top-line performance and reduce bottom-line healthcare and presenteeism costs by working with executives, managers and other key employees develop the awareness, skills and knowledge to lead healthier lives.
Health Catalyst was born out of the personal experience of its founder, Erin Owen. In everyone's life there is some catalytic experience that leads to the awareness for greater health. For Erin, it was experiencing a series of increasingly serious health issues that she could no longer ignore, when she was forced by circumstances to change her life completely. It is the vision of Health Catalyst the company to bring this awareness to individuals before they experience a health crisis, so they can learn to live happier, healthier, longer lives before they have no choice but to make drastic changes or sacrifices.
Erin is founder and president of Health Catalyst Coaching and Training Services. She has appeared on local television and been featured in local newspapers, as well as invited by the area's leading medical institutions to teach students and staff how to live a healthy, nutritionally balanced life. Erin is also currently an adjunct faculty member at The Won Institute. She is a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and is accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. She is a certified yoga teacher, having successfully completed the 250-hour teacher training program at Wake Up Yoga in Philadelphia. Erin is also a certified Total Leadership coach and consultant, working in partnership with Wharton professor Stewart Friedman. Erin is also a graduate of the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University and the Hopkins-Nanjing Center for International Studies in Nanjing.
Erin's experience living in Nanjing and Shanghai, as well as attending IIN in New York, introduced her to eastern philosophies of health and some of the world's most ancient nutritional wisdom. She has also studied the latest diet and healthy lifestyle trends with such renowned experts as Paul Pitchford, Annemarie Colbin, Steve Gagne, Marc David, and Joshua Rosenthal.
Prior to founding Health Catalyst, Erin consulted to international companies for a decade, helping managers and executives manage complex projects and organizational change. Her background consulting with busy corporate executives - while herself living a demanding, less-than-healthy corporate lifestyle - directly influences how she gently and effectively coaches her clients to incorporate healthy eating, stress reducing, and soul-nourishing activities into a busy schedule.
