Allow me to introduce myself…

Dola Greene

HEllo there!

I’m Dola Greene, a Nigerian American and first-generation college graduate, researcher and an aspiring Board Certified health and wellness coach with a deep passion for empowering individuals to live healthier, more balanced lives.

With a background in integrative medicine and community-engaged research, I bring a whole-person approach—blending evidence-based practices with culturally aware, compassionate support. I know what it means to navigate multiple worlds, and I’m here to walk alongside others as they build lives rooted in purpose, wellness, and authenticity.
