Meet Madeline Bucheleres | Holistic + Integrative Health Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Madeline Bucheleres and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Madeline, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I am originally from Chicago but grew up with a second home in South Florida which played a massive role in my life and my story. My mom has always taken the natural approach to our health which meant almost everything that my family was eating was homemade. I am so blessed to have a mother who knows what quality food is and understands how important our health is.

My parents raised us with nature. We were always outside, in the sun, playing in the ocean and sand, eating organic produce, cooking with my mom or grandpa and really just living. During my childhood I was always sick. It sounds backward because of how my mother raised us, but I was born chronically ill. I am so grateful to have been raised by my mother who was doing what she knew was best at the time and she was able to sustain my health. But it got to the point where I was unable to really live. I was bedridden when I Was 21 years old and I empowered myself to take action for myself.

I educated myself on the importance of diet and lifestyle. I understand how many toxins we are faced on a daily basis and how that has an impact on our health. So I revamped my entire life. I started detoxing and healing physically, mentally and emotionally. I am a firm believer that I was put on this path that I am currently on because of the way I was raised and who I was raised by.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Because I dealt with a lot of chronic illnesses and was left in the dark, I decided I was going to heal myself. I started educating myself, reading books, listening to healers I resonated with and rally absorbing as much as possible. It took a lot of time, trial and error and ups and downs but I was able to get my body to a place where it was no longer in fight or flight more. I was so long in survival mode.

Because of this journey, I learned a lot. I went back to school to absorb even more information so I could help others who have similar stories as mine because my story is unique to me but it is not rare. There are so many people who are also left in the dark and I feel like I have cracked the code to what has worked for me. I knew I needed to spread this.

So I started coaching others through their journeys too. I help people who have dealt with illness get back on their feet. I help them understand mental and emotional blockages on their physical healing journey and much more.

My business came to be organically and I think it was a universe thing. I think this is the path that I am meant to be on and I went through my struggles to not only find myself but help others also find themselves.

One thing I have learned is to never take life too seriously and to not lose sight of who you are. It is so easy to get caught up in our businesses, work, life and more and truly the only thing that matters to me is having my health, eating high-quality food, spending time with my loved ones, being in nature and being happy and content. You don’t need all the extra fluff and stress. Because living this life is truly a beautiful experience when we get out of our own way.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My mother. She has been my rock my entire life. It was always a challenge growing up with chronic illness and my mother did anything she could in her power to always make me feel comfortable, love and cared for. She is the most self-less person and she knew what I needed in some moments before I knew what I needed.

She has always pushed me to do better while also holding my hand throughout the journey.
