Who I Am

Dr. Sheila Balestrino

Board Certified Family Physician / Certified Coach & Compassion Key Practitioner / Motivational Teacher & Guide

Hi! I’m Dr. Sheila Balestrino, and I’ve been Board Certified by the American Board of Family Medicine since 1990. I am also a Certified Coach, a Certified Compassion Key Practitioner, and I have been certified and worked in addiction care.


I am a physician who has expanded my awareness and my ability to help people outside of the “traditional” medical office. Time and experience have taught me how our emotions, how we feel, impact our physical health in both wellness and disease.

While prescriptions and other treatments can affect and treat many symptoms and diseases, they often fall short in addressing the underlying emotional components. And if we aren’t addressing the emotional components, we’re missing a big part of the problem!

I use the skills that I have learned, and blend them with my sense of empathy and compassion. I encourage and guide those who feel stuck in the struggles of life, to create a new plan to a happier and healthier life. I can help anyone who has a desire and a will to change, and an open mind and heart.


I have compassion and a passion to help people. I have cared for a variety of patients over these many years, and I have also worked in addiction care.
