Holistic Health coaching is a profession that is rooted in how we, as human beings, operate in our quest for optimal health. As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, specializing in Healthy Lifestyle; I help you work with your unique body to discover the answers you've been looking for, and take into consideration how everything in your life affects your health and wellness...career, exercise, spirituality, relationship. Remember...Brokenness Is Not Your Heritage!
I work with the concept of bio-individuality. My approach is client-driven. Instead of getting a one-size-fits-all plan based on a cookie-cutter approach, I will create a customized plans for you based on your individual circumstances, lifestyle habits, health condition and other needs.
- I approach nutrition as “whole foods”, instead of compartmentalizing them into individual nutrients such as calories, carbs, proteins, fats etc. Why? Because the synergistic relationship among these various components when they are ingested in the form of whole food deliver much more benefits than when they are taken as individual nutrients.
- With my health coaching program, I will work with you over several months with sessions that can last up to 30 minutes or longer, if needed. I am able to be with you every step of the way so that we are able to look into lifestyle choices and work on changing habits, resulting in meaningful and positive behavioral changes that last, delivering long-term health benefits.
- My coaching is goal, action and result oriented. My approach focuses on implementation and integration, so that healthy changes are integrated into your life. We live in the age of information overload...you don’t need more information, you need to know which information to use and how to make it work for your life.
- Instead of treating the symptoms, I work with you to get to the underlying causes of your health concerns. Together, we will look at how issues such as stress, emotional distress, physical activities, lack of “soul nourishment” etc. effect your overall wellbeing. I help you cultivate the awareness to improve all areas of your life.
- Your body is designed to heal itself and you do that by reading and meditating on God's promises on health. Do you still need to consult with your health professional, absolutely! Always use wisdom!
- Instead of trying to force you to stick to some “plan” which does not work, I will listen to your needs and concerns, then work with you to get over blocks or resistance, while making any food behavioral changes you need.
And I support you to live your life to the fullest. Working with me, you will get:
