Health & Fitness

You're a health coach, that's cool! Wait... what does a health coach do?

If dreams come true, they take some work.

Work is something I understand well. I don't seem to go at anything with just a little effort. It is "all in", or I'm out.

Sometimes getting to put that effort into play takes some time. Like with my new health coaching buisness. I actually wanted to do this about nine years ago, when I first found the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.

I instantly had this vision of supporting "special kids who need special diets" (think autism and ADHD, etc.).

But life got in the way. In fact, it took a tail spin, as life is apt to do when you are diagnosed with an incurable illness that threatens your life.

That's okay though, because as I've practiced integrative medicine as a patient for years, and continued my career in education, that dream I had way back when has since expanded.

Welcome to my health coaching practice! I help parents and busy professionals find life balance - especially ones who work with kiddos. After seven years in the public school system, and seven (slightly overlapping) years as a mom - I get it. Oh, I get it. The stress, the tendency to put yourself dead last. The way the days, and weeks, and months, and even years slip by... all the while you're meaning to make some personal changes to help your health. Except you don't.

But guess what - if you don't step off that merry-go-round, it's not just your waistline or stress level that suffers. It's the kiddos, the profession, the dreams you have for yourself that begin to feel it too. Because it is true - you can best care for others when you care for yourself first.

And I have some pretty interesting theories on being well, even when you are sick. And food allergies and intolerance? I'm a kitchen ninja with that stuff. I was gluten free before it was cool. A family member has eight food allergies - and I feed her well!

Come talk to me if learning about any of that peaks your interest.

Now you have my story. You know my work ethic. If you're my client, I'm "all in" with you.

Can I help you achieve your goals for better wellness and balance in your life? I think I can - and I think you'll find my approach warm, unique, and quite effective.
