All humans are unique, and all bodies are different. Food choices are often intertwined with other lifestyle factors. Because of this, my approach is holistic which means we will look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does your stress at your job or relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
I focus on helping you feel good in your skin and improving health and wellness at the root level for sustainable change. No quick fixes or fad diets here. I help my clients strengthen their mind-body connection and learn how to listen to what their body is telling them. I understand that life happens and your needs will change. I want to empower you and equip you with self-awareness to make the best decisions for yourself in any given circumstance.
As your coach, I will not dictate a diet for you, but together we will explore what works best for you and your body. Together we’ll co-create your health goals with actionable objectives so you know exactly what you’re working towards.
Here are some concepts we will explore together:
Crowding Out
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different — by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will crowd out the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice, but I will support you along the way.
Primary FoodTM
It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all the other factors present in our daily lives that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment as well. When these primary foods are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired fulfilling life.
Bio-individualityTM
Each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, which is why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. I’ll support you in making positive changes based on your unique needs, lifestyle and preferences. I’ll help you find a way to make nutrition revolve around your lifestyle as opposed to your lifestyle revolving around nutrition.
Integrative Nutrition PlateTM
The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance of local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality. I’ll teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body.
Breathwork
Proper breathing is a safe and effective way to improve mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Most of us breathe too shallow and too fast. By intentionally changing your breathing pattern, it can help relieve stress, boost digestion, balance your energy and improve sleep. I’ll teach you techniques you can use morning, noon and night to balance your nervous system and enhance your overall well-being.
