Vicky Countess is the founder of Vicky Countess Coaching.
Since 2019, she has worked as a certified Health and Life Coach, helping women all over the world feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in their bodies.
Her focus is bone health and guiding women through an osteopenia or osteoporosis diagnosis with a clear, personalized plan instead of confusion and fear.
She has received formal training in bone health from Dr. Kim Millman, a Stanford-trained physician who specializes in treating women with osteoporosis.
Vicky combines this evidence-based training with her own lived experience to help clients protect their strength and independence for years to come.
If you’ve been told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis and left that appointment feeling confused, scared, or unsure what to do next…
You’re not alone.
Most women are told to “take calcium, add vitamin D, and do weight-bearing exercise,” but no one explains what that actually means, how much is enough, or whether it’s working.
That advice isn’t wrong. It’s just incomplete.
Sometimes medication gets added to the mix, too, which can bring its own questions.
The truth is, bone health depends on a lot more than three general tips.
Without the full picture, it’s easy to feel like you’re just guessing instead of moving forward with confidence.
And when your appointment is only 15 minutes long, it’s easy to feel like you’re figuring this out alone.
You’re not.
I help women turn that fear and confusion into a clear, practical plan so they can stay strong, active, and independent for years to come.
Bone health is very personal for me.
My mother broke her hip. That scared me enough to insist on my own bone scan at 45 — and I found out I had low bone density, too.
My father fell and passed away within 48 hours.
My mother-in-law’s second fractured hip left her in assisted living for the rest of her life.
One fall can change everything.
I realized bone health isn’t just about bones. It’s about protecting your independence before a crisis forces the issue.
So I stopped waiting for better answers and started finding them myself.
