What I Do, My Approach

this is

My Approach

We practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that we look at how all areas of your life are connected. I have a particular soft spot in my heart for educators!

become your own

Science Experiment

Does stress at your job or in your relationship(s) cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? Do you feel like there just isn’t time to care of yourself when you are trying to take care of others? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.

I work with my clients to get in touch with their body’s needs and treat themselves as their own science experiment! We spend time researching OURSELVES! I understand that life happens and your needs will change, however, we will work to help you feel empowered to nourish yourself through all those changes! I will guide you to equip yourself to make the best decisions in any given circumstance. All the wisdom you need resides in you! You are fully capable of making well-informed decisions as your own expert! You do not need the latest magazine article or fad diet book!

I will share science-based nutrition and personal experiences to help guide you on your journey as we seek to nourish your educator, heart, body, mind and spirit! I will guide you to create specific goals that bring you closer to where you want to be. As your coach, while I won’t dictate the diet, I will encourage a whole foods, plant-based approach to eating, and together we will explore why some foods make you feel better than others and how to strategically use that feedback. We will also explore the mind-body connection, relationships, time management, and so much more!

For Our Tool Kit

Here are some concepts that we will explore during our work together

Primary Food

It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. 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-INdividuality

The concept of Bio-Individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. 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 to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, and preferences.

Crowding Out

Many nutrition experts give their clients a strict 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 to make happen, but I will support you along the way.

Mindfulness and Mindset

Together we will explore the negative beliefs holding you back from being the best version of yourself. We will dive into the stories we tell ourselves that keep us from living our best lives. We will also consider your cravings. They play a critical role in understanding what your body needs. When you learn how to deconstruct your cravings and understand what they’re really telling you, you will be able to reclaim a sense of balance and harmony. Finally, I will teach you simple techniques for meditation, a powerful tool for overcoming those negative beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves.
