I believe my strength as a coach comes from my ability to provide a compassionate and validating presence for my clients as we work through some of their most difficult and personal challenges. We may not share the same experiences or background, but I believe every client deserves to be offered respect and dignity throughout their journey to better health. In our sessions I meet each client where they are at, without preconceived judgements or expectations. As we work together I adapt the goals and plan to their needs and capacities.

I take a holistic approach to health coaching, meaning I take into account the entire body, its many systems, the brain and nervous system, the mind and spirit, as well as the individual’s personal history. Holistic healthcare also involves taking into account the person’s environment, relationships, stressor, sleep, diet, and exercise. This is what allows coaching to be so effective; that by focusing on modifiable lifestyle factors, we may address the symptoms at their root cause, rather than treating each symptom separately.

Through the coaching process I work with clients to enhance their well-being through self-directed, lasting changes. One of my favorite aspects of the coaching process is helping clients to identify internal motivators that align with their core values and ideals. This will give more meaning and purpose to their lifestyle changes.

As a coach I am humbled to be able to share in this transformative journey with my clients. I learn as much from them as they do from me.
