HOLISTIC NUTRITION & WELLNESS COACHING
In addition to my qualifications as a licensed clinical social worker, I am a certified holistic health counselor and coach. I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2009 and am certified by the American Board of Drugless Practitioners. I specialize in working with clients living with autoimmune illness including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, thyroiditis, Sjogren's Syndrome, and multiple food allergies/sensitivities/intolerances.
Services
My approach is realistic, practical, "whole person" centered, and - most importantly -achievable. The goal of my work with you is to help you to improve your total health and well-being. In addition to one-on-on consulting, my services extend to helping empower clients to make smart choices at the supermarket, clearing and restocking the refrigerators and cabinets, teaching how to cook simple, healthy meals and providing realistic recipes and meal plans to suit all lifestyles, especially those compromised by chronic illness. I am also available for group consulting, speaking engagements, and workshops in corporate and non-profit settings.
What to Expect
In a typical nutritional coaching consultation, I will assess your general health, family and health history, dietary habits, digestive function and lifestyle. I will then devise a dietary and lifestyle plan suitable for your circumstances with the aim of addressing your health goals. This may include dietary adjustments, suggestions for dietary support, and lifestyle changes. When applicable and with your permission, I may work closely with your physician and/or medical team to insure the highest quality of responsible care. Please be careful of health coaches who only speak with you by phone and/or recommend food and supplements without knowing about your medical/health history. A good health coach is willing to coordinate with your doctor whenever necessary. Anything less is irresponsible and could potentially be harmful or even life-threatening. Together we will guide you to your best health!
