About Serenity NPIH
How it started
When I’m not focused on empowering clients to achieve their health goals, I’m busy enjoying life with my husband, Kirk, our three adult children, and our grand dog. Our family recently grew with the addition of an English Labrador puppy—a chunky ball of energy who keeps us on our toes! I feel incredibly grateful for my loving in-laws and my church family, who bring so much joy to my life.
Staying active is a big part of who I am. I love lifting weights, spending time at the gym, and listening to great music while working out. My competitive edge has seen me through high school and college basketball, as well as victories in CrossFit competitions. Outside of fitness, I find peace and joy in my garden, creativity in the kitchen, and inspiration in antiques and vintage jewelry. And let’s not forget—I’m never without my trusty lip gloss!
I believe in living life with purpose, passion, and a little bit of sparkle—preferably with a great latte in hand. Optimizing your health and connecting over life’s simple joys are my favorite ways to help you thrive. Let’s take this journey together!
Meet the Team
Meet Rachael
OFFICE COORDINATOR
Hello and welcome. I’m Rachael and I am the office coordinator here at SerenityNP. I have worked for Carolyn Johnson since 2017. I have learned so much about functional medicine and I continue to learn something new every day. I have realized how important it is to keep searching for the root cause of our health concerns in order to heal. I love all the things SerenityNP has to offer, especially our added services like red light sauna therapy and nutritional IV therapy. I have to say that the absolute best part of my job is getting to see our clients feel better and heal while witnessing their health transformation firsthand. I look forward to meeting you.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my husband and 2 daughters. We enjoy watching sports (both my daughters play softball and volleyball), listening to live music, & just enjoying the outdoors whenever we can. I also love to cook, bake, and attempt DIY projects.
I will be the friendly face you see when you walk through our doors and the warm voice you hear when you call. I take pride in treating all clients with courtesy, demonstrating professionalism, and dedication to my work. I look forward to serving you during your journey here at SerenityNP.
Meet Eniko
CLINICAL THERMOGRAPHER
Originally educated as a biochemical engineer in Hungary, Eniko eventually switched gears to follow her passion to focus on nutrition and natural therapy. Her interest in the lymphatic system prompted her to become a certified electrolymphatic therapist in 2007. Eniko also became a clinical thermographer in Illinois in 2011 where she serves clients providing the highest quality thermal imaging currently known.
Eniko loves to reach out to people who want to improve their overall health. She believes the highly sensitive thermal scan is crucial in prevention and early screening for breast health in women. Thermal imaging can also show precursors to heart disease, vascular obstruction, autoimmune disorders, skeletal dysfunction, and neural dysfunction in anyone. Early detection and prevention is always less complicated than treatment.
Meet Helen
HEALTH COACH
Hello! I’m Helen Lessner. I’m excited to join SerenityNP’s team. I am a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach. My passion has always revolved around the healing power of nutrition.
The term nutrition encompasses many concepts, ideologies and theories that can feel overwhelming at times to say the least. I’m here to guide and walk with you on this journey that includes a very bio individualized approach to your care. My role is to bridge the gap between your health care providers in order to help support a healthy lifestyle on and off the plate.
My job is to look at food in the context of lifestyle practices to ensure you are nourishing your body well. My hope is to support you along with your health professionals to ensure the most robust and effective care and together we can celebrate your wins!
I have endured my own journey of illness in the past, a battle of 4 years with thyroid cancer. I believe along with the treatment from my practitioner, that the power of nutrition, positive mindset, visualization & stress management tools are truly what brought me from a path of illness to a path of wellness. If there is one thing looking back I wish I had, would have been a health coach to support, guide, & walk by my side on my journey. I knew then that I want to be that person for others, whether it’s illness, disease, or improving overall health & wellness through lifestyle changes for a long, fulfilled life.
I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, daughter, son, & recently adopted kitten, Milo. I enjoy spending time in the kitchen, cooking up healthy & modified versions of my favorite recipes. My favorite ways to incorporate movement into my life are strength/resistance exercises, walking, & yoga. I am a lifelong learner of all things health & wellness related, consistently reading & listening to functional medicine podcasts.
It is my mission to empower, inspire, & serve others on their journey. I cannot wait to meet you & become your partner on your path to creating the vision to your own optimal health & wellness journey.
