Why Holistic Health Coaching?
Working 1:1 with a coach gives you a window of what isn't working in your life right now. Your vitality and radiance doesn't have to fade with age.
Bio-Individuality- what works for one person won't always work for another. Your roadmap to health is 100% customized to you. You get a plan that focuses on internal and external influences that may be affecting how you look, feel, and show up everyday.
A nurturing space to share your health frustrations and concerns without feeling rushed. Create SMART goals to help cultivate healthier habits and supportive mindset to establish lifelong changes.
A coach keeps you accountable and focused on your goals when you might otherwise get distracted by the demands of daily life. Breaking action steps down into simple practices is the secret sauce to navigating life, it's just about knowing what to do and when to do it.
There are no rigid dos or don'ts. There are no strict meal plans or rigorous workout plans. It's about slow and steady progress. It's about crafting a new lifestyle that supports how you want to live.
Empowering you is the ultimate goal. Giving you tools, practices and recommendations so you can feel in control of your health again.
My Story
I'm just a small town girl with big dreams. I love cooking, reading, and spending time with my tribe. My pups mean the absolute world to me and I love my kids just as much! My husband and I blended our families in 2017 and we currently live in Louisiana with plans to take on more RV traveling now that all of our kids are 18+!
After going through a divorce in 2011, I found myself starting to fall into old patterns. After attending a yoga class that was scheduled with a friend while drunk in a bar. I quickly fell in love with the practice and how it seemed to effect everything from my attitude to my thoughts. It allowed me to become more present and notice what was working and what wasn't in all areas of my life. It made such an impact that I ended up becoming a yoga instructor and eventually quit my job of 13 years in the restaurant industry to focus on a career in health and wellness.
I began to struggle with digestive issues and my weight after giving birth. After years of diets, about 3 gallons of Imodium, and 50,000 Pepcid tablets later, I found healing through The Blood Type Diet. I was so impressed by the changes in my body that I began to investigate more about food and it's medicinal properties. I started to use other holistic approaches for healing. My own healing is what ultimately led me to become an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through one of the biggest nutrition schools, Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
As a certified Health Coach, I understand the weight and frustration of feeling like there is more out there for you, but not knowing where to turn to first. That’s why my mission is simple: give my clients the wellness education, tools and resources that they need to feel happy, healthy, and capable of managing life’s pressures.
For as long as I can remember, I've felt a calling to help change lives and never quite understood what it meant. Through my own healing and self-coaching, I have been able to recognize that I overcame all of my trauma so that I could offer a listening ear to those experiencing the same trials and tribulations. I've be able to find what allows me to thrive and flourish and I would love to have the opportunity to help you do the same.
