My approach

I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness.... What does that mean?

Think of it this way: If you have a pain in your finger because of a splinter, do you you mask it with a painkiller OR try to figure out how to remove the splinter? I prefer the latter, as I like to get to the underlying cause. As an integrative nutritional health coach, I put the power of healthy living back in YOUR hands.

I look at how all areas of your life are connected and will teach you:

What goes in your body, What goes on your body, What moves your body and What motivates your body : ALL AFFECT YOUR HEALTH.

I will help you be more curious about why your health is not working for you and together we will co-create your health goals within reasonable time frames.

As your health coach, I will not dictate a diet for you, I will not make you get on a scale, I will not measure your body.

My goal is to help you learn about "health" care, not "sick" care. I will teach you how to be healthy from the inside out.

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!

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-IINdividuality

The concept of Bio-IINndividuality 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.
