It starts with a conversation.
This conversation arises from your awareness that where you are right now is not where you want to remain. Whether physically, emotionally, professionally, or spiritually — you believe there is a better overall YOU waiting to grow.
What is health coaching?
Health and wellness coaches partner with clients seeking to enhance their well-being through self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values. In the course of their work, health and wellness coaches display an unconditional positive regard for their clients and a belief in their capacity for change, honoring the fact that each client is an expert on their own life, while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non-judgmental.

Benefits of Coaching
As your coach…
I will be rooting for you. I will be your partner as you create self-directed, lasting change that enhances your health and overall well-being.
I will hold you accountable for your efforts, providing inspiration, guidance, and support with the knowledge that motivation and confidence grow through small accomplishments. We will celebrate each success along the way.
I will encourage you to create goals in line with YOUR values and supported by YOUR inherent strengths.
I will urge you, without judgment, to be curious in those moments when you feel stuck or encounter obstacles. Life is not lived in a straight line rather, it is navigated on crooked paths. Setbacks, while inevitable, are temporary and provide amazing opportunities for learning.
I will maintain my belief that you are the expert in your life. You know what you need and have the capacity to create the change you want to see.
I will not tell you what to do. I am not the director. I will serve as a collaborator, resource, mentor, support, and guide.
I will not prescribe a specific diet or give specific nutrition advice. I will help you create an approach to nutrition recognizing that food is ‘fuel’ while we will explore concepts and resources to support your nutritional goals and desired lifestyle.
I will not try to heal past trauma. I will support your need for outside therapies when necessary and work with you as you develop the tools you need to move forward to the future with confidence.
Go ahead: Choose to D.I.E.T.
Appreciate the liberating opportunity therein. From the foods you eat, to the movement you make, to how and with whom you spend your time and energy, I motivate and inspire you to make conscious decisions and choices that fuel a healthy lifestyle.
