Personalized Coaching
Have you tried a zillion “quick fixes” with some results only to gain it all back? Would you like to ditch old habits that don’t serve you anymore?
Are you sick and tired of buying book after book and still not experiencing the changes you desire?
Would you like more happiness, more energy and a feeling of total balance throughout the day?
If you’ve answered yes to even one question then you are in the right place. My mission is simple. I want to inspire and empower you to believe in you. Through belief comes change. When you change what you think about yourself, you will change your life.
During our time together, we'll find the foods and lifestyle choices that best support you to make gradual, lifelong changes to reach your current and future health goals. Rather than dwelling on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, restrictions and lists of good and bad foods, we will work together to identify the foods that fuel you optimally and create a plan that is flexible, specific to you and fun.
6-Month Weight Liberation Program
The centerpiece of what I do is my six-month program. It takes time to make true, lasting changes. The quick fixes don’t work as much as we wish and want them to. My program is designed to help you make permanent changes to your habits in a way that is fun and realistic.
This program includes:
- Weekly, 50-minute sessions for the first month (can be done by phone/Skype/Google Hangout if you're not local)
- (2) 50-minute sessions per month thereafter (can be done by phone/Skype/Google hangout if you're not local)
- E-mail support between sessions
- Activity tracking, journaling and other tools to help you succeed
- Coaching and support to help you make lifestyle and dietary changes to accomplish the goals we set together
- My personal commitment to you, your health, your transformation and your success
8-Week Jumpstart Program
I’ll re-iterate – it takes times to make real, lasting changes. The ones you won’t rebound from. I firmly believe that it takes a good 6 months to move through the stages we all face when changing our lives: the initial seemingly easy success, the “life happens” plateau, and the long-term “wow, was that really me?” change. However, sometimes we simply need to dip our toes in the water first. The 6-week jumpstart program is designed to give you a feel for what it’s like to work with a health and lifestyle coach.
This program includes:
- (4) weekly, 50-minute sessions (can be done by phone/Skype/Google hangout if you're not local) plus
- (2) bi-weekly, 50-minute sessions (can be done by phone/Skype/Google Hangout if you're not local)
- E-mail support between sessions
- Coaching and support to help you make lifestyle and dietary changes to accomplish the goals we set together
- My personal commitment to you in jumpstarting your transformation journey

My Approach
Integrative and Collaborative
My goal in coaching is for you to be successful and to accomplish the goals you will set for yourself. In my experience that takes collaboration and teamwork. Together we will identify what those goals are then create a plan that is achievable and is one that you’re excited about. Through our sessions together we will discover the barriers that we naturally put in our path and uncover the inner talk track that has derailed you in the past. I will help you reframe those stories and belief systems for lasting change and ultimate success.
Contrary to what you may be thinking, I will not dictate a diet for you. Instead we will explore a variety of food to discover which foods fuel you the best. It's important to understand why some foods make you feel better than others and to strategically use that feedback to create an eating plan that works and is specific to you.
In truth my mission is very simple: I want to inspire and empower you to believe in YOU; your value, your worth and your success. When you change what you think about yourself, you will change your life.
Primary Food
One of the most intriguing concepts I discovered during my time at IIN is the idea of Primary and Secondary Foods. Let’s face it – when making the decision to get healthy we all naturally look up “diet”. There are many out there to choose from and all typically dictate what types of food to eat and what to stay away from. And from that you’d naturally conclude that Primary Food must be, well… Food.
Primary Food is, in fact, not what you put in your mouth but all of the other factors present in our lives: relationships, career, physical activity, and spiritual practices. When these primary foods are balanced, what you actually eat becomes secondary.
Bio-Individuality
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, we will explore what foods make you feel great and which ones leave you feeling tired, sick and down. With that specific feedback we’ll find a meal plan that best suits you and your lifestyle.
Crowding Out
Many diet and nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat. These lists can be fairly restrictive and while doable for a short time, often aren’t realistic in the long term. My approach is different – I will encourage you to add in foods and drinks that are right for your body thus leaving less room and desire for those foods that don't fuel you properly. Simply put, you will gradually crowd out the unhealthy food in your diet.
