What is Health Coaching?
As a health coach, I work with women who want to be moms, who are about to be moms, or who already are moms, and I help them break generational health cycles so they can confidently take care of themselves and their families. In other words, I am working with moms who realize that their health affects not only themselves, but their children and future generations of their families.
We all have DNA that is passed down to us from our parents, but it is our lifestyles that tell our DNA what genes to express. Just like our DNA is passed down to us from our parents, our lifestyles are also passed down. It can be very daunting to live in a different way than the rest of your family; to make choices for your health that the rest of your family doesn’t quite understand. Even if you have the most supportive family, it can be challenging to make sustainable changes for your health and the health of your future generations.
This is where I am here to help as a health coach. I listen to my clients, assist them in goal setting, and support them in taking steps towards creating lasting change in their lives. The food we eat and exercise are two components of what I support, but health is impacted by so many other factors as well such as: joy, social life, relationships, home environment, home cooking, education, career, finances, creativity, and spirituality. I am not the expert on your body or your life - you are, I’m simply here to guide, support, encourage, and celebrate your growth. Everyone is unique which is why I don’t have a set “diet” or plan that all of my clients follow. It’s a totally bio-individual program tailored to your specific needs.

Here are some concepts that we will explore during our work together:
Integrative Nutrition Plate
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 introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body!

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.
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, preferences, and ancestral background.
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 to make happen, but I will support you along the way.
Deconstructing Cravings
Cravings play a critical role in understanding what your body needs and shouldn’t be ignored. 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.
