Health & Wellness Coaching

Have you been experiencing osteoarthritis or pain in your weight-bearing joints (i.e. ankles, knees, back), have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, at risk for or already in metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetic, struggling to manage Type I or Type II diabetes, or at risk for or already have obesity hyperventilation syndrome or sleep apnea?

Have you tried diet after diet only to lose the weight but gain it right back? Or get into an exercise regime and then fall back out of your routine?

Have you found that the desire to lose weight and the desire to develop and maintain a consistent exercise routine, do not always seem to be enough to make weight loss and consistent exercise in your life a reality?

As a Health and Wellness Coach I can help tailor a treatment plan designed based on your schedule, your personality, obstacles that usually hold you back, and nutrition and exercise goals that will align with your body and health. I will provide psychoeducation on any areas that you might struggle with: examples could include managing chronic pain, emotional eating, negative body image, and disliking exercise. The intention of the treatment plan and the psychoeducation combined is to help you find a more satisfying way to look at food, eating, your body, wellness, and movement.

If you find yourself feeling any of the following:

• eating more when stressed
• eating more when lonely, tired, bored or agitated
• criticizing your appearance constantly
• having difficulty looking in the mirror
• having difficulty shopping for clothes
• avoid going to see the doctor for fear of being weighed or knowledge of health conditions
• low self-esteem because of weight and health
• feeling ashamed of weight and body image
• avoiding activities with others
• ashamed to eat in public for fear of being judged 

Then I understand and they can be discussed and worked through. My specialty is working with individuals that either want to lose weight or change various health factors about themselves, in order for them to feel empowered about their health and in control of how they take care of their body.

No matter what your goal is to get stronger, to get healthier, to lose weight, to stop emotional eating, to relieve the pain in your body or just feel better in your body, then please reach out to inquire about coaching and I would be happy to have a phone consultation to get you started.
