Webb earned her Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition from ACHS in 2017, and graduated with a 4.0 GPA. She also concurrently completed a Graduate Certificate in Nutrition.
Webb holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from Brigham Young University. After having her three children, she realized how crucial nutrition is for living your best life, and studied diet and nutrition as a serious hobby before returning to school.
“I realized I was passionate about this and decided to take it a step further by making a career out of it,” Webb says. “I am married to an Air Force pilot, and we are stationed in a small town in New Mexico. Due to the lack of local universities offering programs in nutrition, I knew I would need to find a good online option. […] ACHS met all of my needs in distance learning, and it was a privilege to learn with their highly qualified professors.”
Webb is also an Eating Psychology coach and owner of Eat Happy Nutrition, a private health coaching practice that focuses on helping women to take the guilt out of good nutrition and to learn that eating healthy can be simple and fun (http://eathappynutrition.com).
“My contributions to the field of nutrition have largely been in education. I work with women all over the country to help make lasting, positive change toward health in the areas of nutrition as well as overall lifestyle,” Webb says.
“Stephanie’s commitment to empowering women to learn how to make healthy choices and love their bodies is a resounding example of the ACHS motto: Learn well. Live well. Educate others,” says Dorene Petersen, ACHS president and founder. “She has helped many people to overcome what can often be quite painful patterns through a focus on each unique individual’s body and lifestyle. Her clients are lucky to have her, and we are very pleased to be able to celebrate this award recognition with her.”
