About

Dr. Brenda Hochmuth, PhD

Brenda Hochmuth, PhD is a Northeast Georgia based wellness educator and practitioner whose teachings emanate from her extensive knowledge of psychology, biology, neuroscience, psychopharmacology, holistic healing, herbal/mineral/vitamin supplementation, nutrition-based cooking, and functional nutrition. She offers affordable integrative guidance on all aspects of health and wellness. Brenda’s approach is a collaboration of the physical, mental, emotional, practical, and spiritual realms of being. She excels at educating, empowering, and coaching individuals to identify root causes of problems, take preventative steps in avoiding issues, and helping clients make lasting change for living their best lives. Brenda spent much of her youth immersed in the Amish culture and natural healing. She possessed a natural curiosity of the world questioning everything in search of truth and solutions beyond what can be learned in school. From this foundation, she recognizes and appreciates the unique light that resides in every individual person and never employs a one-size-fits-all approach to her clients.  Brenda was a college psychology professor, education/parenting consultant, mediator, and life/health coach for over 25 years before honing her skills toward functional wellness.  These experiences created a solid framework for practicing today's passion.  With over a decade of experience in the field, Brenda has consulted with innumerable family, friends, and clients who struggled with their health and vitality. Through her accumulated knowledge, finely-tuned skillset, and ability to search outside of the box for answers, she has helped navigate folks along their journey toward integrated health.  In all of her work, Brenda is dedicated to empowering her clients to live a life they love.
