Description

  • I help clients as a Health Coach, Nutritionist, Herbalist and health educator. Discover and remove your own health blocks! Consider hiring me for nutritionist and herbal medicine guidance, flower essence consulting, cooking demos and classes, and food shopping education. I can help you learn to get enough vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats in your menu.

    I help people see the vitamins and minerals present or deficient in their food, supported by client food logs over time, society’s common deficiencies, their normal menu discovered through interview, and health problems. This “alternative medicine approach” or “functional medicine” approach focuses on helping educate people to help themselves, instead of relying on someone external as an authority figure, nor on the medication-only model of supporting health. It seeks to shore up nutrition first, then remove deficiencies, to allow the body to heal itself.

    Does this method take work? Yes, it does.
    And it may bring you to a “new normal”.

     

    How Does It Work?
    I interview my health coaching clients, then try to find clues as to what is causing your main complaint. Sometimes people are eating foods that disagree with them, or are common food allergies, or are a mismatch with their blood type or ancestry. Sometimes people aren’t drinking any water due to busy work issues, which stops them from taking out the trash. Clients may try to live on coffee (guilty!), or are not fond of vegetables, and therefore don’t include them. I can suggest things to work on, and the client will choose one to three of them. (This is because one change might be a really big change!) I work on a longer plan that will be discussed in a follow-up appointment. We may then discuss things like needing different or better nutrition, how food preparation affects absorption, food allergy elimination from the menu, alternative menus for health, changes to food and drink choices, enhancing sleep quality and amount, the need for exercise to take out the body trash, and possible vitamin and mineral deficiencies. I hope to help guide and educate my clients to better lifestyle choices overall.

    If appropriate, I can create a personalized herbal formula tailored to your individual needs.
