Meet Lori
Welcome to Anchor Health Coaching! My name is Lori Sumner. I am a wife to my husband, Mark, of 25 years. We have three sons ages 23, 21, and 17. Being a boy mom has led to a busy life running between cross country meets and baseball fields. Nothing has given my greater pleasure than watching my boys chase their dreams. Being their mom is by far my greatest life accomplishment.
I love to travel and spend time on beautiful Lake Norman. The water is my happy place! I love exercise, good food, coffee shops, the beach, friends around the firepit, paddleboarding, yoga, and meeting up with girlfriends for dinner, a play, book club or a glass of wine. I am lucky to have a very close extended family. We love when everyone is together.
I graduated in 1993 from Saint Francis University with a degree as a Physician Assistant. I have practiced medicine for almost 30 years in the Charlotte/Lake Norman area of North Carolina. I completed my Masters Degree in May of 2020. It was during this time, through my own breast cancer journey, when my awareness for the need and interest in more of a concentration in health and wellness grew.
In May of 2017, my world was turned upside down with my own breast cancer diagnosis. After enduring, endless medical tests and appointments, multiple surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation, I felt a "disconnect" with follow up care during and after treatment. My physician team was wonderful, but there was just something missing. I was left to do a lot of this research on my own. I have become more aware ,after my own illness ,of how many patients are left feeling confused and vulnerable when facing a medical crisis. It is my mission to empower you with understanding and knowledge by leading you through your breast cancer journey so that you can return to the things that matter most. I have been there!
