Coaching Philosophy
Nutrition and health coaching focuses on supporting you within the context of your real (and maybe complex) life. We collaborate to build a structured plan based on your goals and aspirations. You get to choose and practice small “doable” nutrition, movement, sleep and/or stress management behaviors for a minimum of 3 months (which is the bare minimum it would take to see genuine behavior change that is sustainable) — allowing your mind and body to be where its healthiest (versus the perfectionist images we see in the media). The deep health approach transforms not just your nutrition habits, but your whole self-care!
How can I help you?
You may feel frustrated and stuck with one or more of the following health concerns:
- Chronic and yo-yo dieting and cycling through the latest eating plans
- Nutritional confusion, frustration
- Body image
- Overeating
- Stress and emotional eating
- Perimenopause, menopause, manopause health
- Health conditions (i.e. cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease)
- Low energy, chronic stress, lack of time for self-care
- Digestive issues
- ALL domains of your health: movement, sleep, stress management and change adaptation skills.
What to Expect
Coaching is a collaborative process that includes a mixture of respectful inquiry, listening, teaching points, experimentation, and well-chosen weekly action steps to reach your wellness destination.
I will support you with the tools best suited to your needs:
NUTRITION THERAPY STRATEGIES
Using the latest in nutrition science, we’ll collaborate on what’s best for your unique body and health. You’ll learn to separate good nutrition from the diet culture BS.
INTUITIVE EATING
Intuitive Eating is an evidenced-based, mind-body health approach, comprised of 10 Principles that support a healthy relationship with food and your body. Intuitive Eating is a personal process of honoring health by listening and responding to the direct messages of the body in order to meet your physical and psychological needs. Learn the 10 benefits of Intuitive Eating here.
BODY IMAGE
Having a challenging relationship to your body often affects your eating behaviors. Body dissatisfaction is driven by our culture’s false definition of health as “thinness.” You’ll learn to separate your self-worth from your body size or shape, and practice nutrition and self-care behaviors that allow your body to be its healthiest. Learn 5 steps to a healthy body image here.
EATING PSYCHOLOGY
You have a unique food and body story driven by your beliefs, mindset, emotions, and past. Dynamic Eating Psychology affirms the importance of this epic story. You can transform your eating concerns through a deeper understanding of what they’re here to teach you by honoring all of who you are as an eater – body, mind, heart and soul.
BEHAVIOR CHANGE PSYCHOLOGY
You have a desired nutrition or wellness goal, but you can’t seem to reach it or sustain it. Change is often messy and hard, yet is possible! Change is a skill you can develop. You’ll accelerate the change you desire by learning the growth mindset, through purposeful practice and by acting first, before change happens.
DEEP HEALTH
Are you truly transforming your whole health – or just focusing on one aspect of it? We’ll collaborate to support your “deep health” which includes your emotional, mental, existential, relational, and environmental health. Why is this important?
Deep Health: Each area of your health is deeply entwined and influences your eating and self-care behaviors.
Deep health is an expression of the interconnectedness of wellbeing.
Example: You work long hours at a stressful job.
You sit at a desk all day (environmental) which causes back pain (physical). You come home anxious (emotional) and answer emails all night, which distracts you from time with your partner and kids (relational). And your family is your top priority (existential). Then you sleep poorly, wake up exhausted, cancel your workout, and reach for sugar and/or a coffee-only breakfast (all physical). You’re super hard on yourself because you’re not at your “ideal weight”- which is a myth by the way (mental). Is there a way out?
Yes. The challenges are connected… but so are the solutions.
The good news is that improving one dimension of your health can change the others. That’s why health-conscious people like you need coaching that’s individualized, thoughtful, and sustainable (not another quick-fix food plan).
