I
practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I
look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your
job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or
low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at
how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
A
health coach is a wellness guide and supportive
mentor. Together, we’ll work to achieve your goals in areas such as
achieving optimal weight, food cravings, sleep and energy. We will also address any health concerns you have that may be improved by nutritional and lifestyle changes. You’ll develop a deeper understanding of the foods and
lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes
that will improve your energy, balance and health.
The
concept of bio-individuality is that each person has her or his own
food and lifestyle needs. So, when the experts say, “dairy is good for
you” or “fat is unhealthy,” it doesn’t apply to everyone. One person’s
food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail
in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll
support you in making positive changes that are based on your unique
needs, lifestyle, personal preferences, and background. Instead of
prescribing one fix for all people, I use a personalized, holistic
approach that is based on your needs.
We
are not only fed by food but by other factors in our lives. Healthy
relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a
spiritual practice are essential forms of nourishment. When these
“primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.
An integrative approach to nutrition focuses on nourishing food and
lifestyle choices. I emphasize the importance of
high quality vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, proteins,
healthy fats and water. Throughout our sessions, we will continue to look at lifestyle factors that create optimal heath, including
relationships, career, physical activity and spirituality.
