Health & Wellness Coach Fitness + Focus + Faith
Welcome!
I can get you where you want to go
As a health & wellness coach, certified in functional medicine and eating psychology, I help people put into practice the often heard doctors orders to "eat better, get some exercise, and stop stressing out!"
Such advice is a challenge for people who, despite great personal commitment, find little to support them in practical ways. Many folks can't tell a whole food from a processed food, think exercise means going to a gym, and find stress in life nearly impossible to manage.
I love helping people get where they want to go in life. My clients and I work together to overcome particular physical, mental and spiritual hurdles with the practical knowledge, support and accountability they need to succeed.
Our measure of success is when they:
- are well informed, pro-active, and self-empowered in all aspects of life, especially when it comes to health-related decisions
- are confident in personal knowledge about healthy food choices and eating practices
- have developed habits in daily movement and activities that will ensure physical fitness
- have mastered the mindfulness needed to keep balanced in body-mind-soul
FITNESS + FOCUS + FAITH
Think of holistic well-being as a stool built with three legs — body, mind, and soul. When one comes up short, the whole thing starts to wobble. In the natural world we find that triangulated structures are the mightiest structures, and this intertwining strength echoes the spiritual power expressed in the Holy Trinity. (The word holistic is, in fact, derived from holy!)
Personal transformation does not come about from changing diet, pumping more iron, or saying more prayers. (Not that I would ever discourage such efforts!). The key lies in discovering the combination of efforts that bring your body, mind and soul into balance, and using Fitness + Focus + Faith as cornerstones for the search:
- Fitness takes in all efforts geared to physical health and strength, such as exploring food and nutrition, and distinguishing exercise from movement
- Focus is built on mindfulness, such as mental acuity, intellectual stimulation, habit formation, and gratitude
- Faith is what gives it all cohesion by looking to God for purpose and receiving the grace to act with divine intent
