Holistic Health Coaching
"Nothing can survive without food. Everything we consume acts either to heal or to poison us. We tend to think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths, but what we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies is also food. The conversations going on around us, and those we participate in, are also food. Are we consuming and creating the kind of food that is healthy for us and helps us grow?"
- Thich Nhat Hanh
What's the difference between a nutritionist, dietitian, and a holistic health coach?
While holistic health coaches provide similar services as nutritionists and dietitians like guiding clients in creating healthy habits, working alongside doctors, and focusing on food and nutrition, health coaches take a more holistic approach, exploring all areas of a client's life that affect well-being.
Nutritionists often create meal plans for their clients, and dieticians can diagnose and treat nutrition-related illnesses. Holistic health coaches are mentors and wellness experts who help others feel their best through personalized lifestyle changes that meet unique dietary, emotional, and physical goals and needs. We work with clients to help them discover how to fuel their bodies, live a healthy lifestyle, and find the best wellness and health routines that work for them.
My Purpose
I believe there are two food groups: primary and secondary. Primary foods exist OFF our plates (e.g. relationships, career, physical activity), and secondary foods are what's ON our plates. Both are important, but if our primary foods are out of balance, we cannot fully absorb the nourishment from the foods we're putting in our mouths. Have you ever met someone who drinks all the green drink combinations possible, but is still suffering from depression, anxiety, or physical pain? Or maybe someone who seemed to have the healthiest diet, but was diagnosed with cancer? The state of our emotions and level of satisfaction with the various aspects of our lives are 100% directly connected to our physical well-being.
My goal as a holistic health coach is to help you receive the small messages from your own body, mind, and spirit so you're not met with the fiery stop sign like I was. If you're already there, that's OK -- I'm here to shine the light for you and hold your hand as you find your way out into the clear.
With my background in behavioral therapy and teaching, I specialize in providing educational therapy to children of all ages. I have extensive training and experience with taking a holistic approach to tackling academic blocks. I work with children and their families to determine the catalysts to falling behind in classes or resisting to complete assignments. Taking deep consideration of all aspects of a child's life can help create emotional and mental stability while naturally improving their schoolwork and cognitive abilities.
Together, over the course of six months, we'll take realistic, obtainable, and personally comfortable steps to help you reach your unique wellness goal. Starting on a new journey can be scary, so I'll be right here by your side as you take those courageous, gentle steps. I'm committed to supporting you in the way you need.
I can't wait to help you bring more joy, peace, and overall emotional and physical balance back into your life!
