A personalized program to help you create healthy habits that stick.

Philosophy:

Working with your functional healthcare team:

In every session we’ll review goals: we’ll celebrate wins & trouble shoot the things that are not working before we set new goals. I’ll help you find tools & exercises to track your progress, identify your strengths and help you find ways to incorporate motivation & accountability into your daily routines. I offer a variety of sessions so you can tailor the program to you - click through the options below.

I use positive psychology methods to navigate a functional medicine frame work.

Instead of using shame & fear, we’ll work with positive motivators. Fear and especially shame are short term motivators that often fuel bad habits - and negatively impact things we’ll be actively working to improve - like gut health, anxiety, mood and energy.

Sometimes we don’t hit our goals - we’ll review why with curiosity instead of failure. If something didn’t work, how can we restructure the approach to the goal? What resources of support are available?

My roll as part of your Functional Medicine healthcare team is to help you make supported changes prescribed by your doctors. Doctors tell you what to change - Coaches help you make that change.

Complex symptoms can be overwhelming to seek treatment and diagnosis for. I can help you advocate for yourself as you navigate care with your medical team.

I also work with clients who know the changes they need to make before they are a problem - for example, clients who have family history or genetic predisposition for dementia, diabetes, cancer or other concerns that can be partially prevented or managed through lifestyle change.

I am not HIPAA compliant & I do not diagnose or prescribe.

    • Learn cooking techniques that help you eat (or not eat) certain foods. For example, gluten free cooking, making foods that are crispy without frying, incorporating more vegetables , cutting out processed sugar, low glycemic cooking, adding in lean protein or healthy omega 3 rich fats

    • Adapting your favorite recipes to your new dietary needs

    • Trouble shooting how to make meals healthy and easy for the whole family

    Please note Kitchen Sessions are not an option for the first session. We require a previous session to learn what your goals are and tailor the session to your needs.
