Individual Health Coaching
It’s rare for anyone to get an hour to explore their wellness goals with a trained professional. As a certified Nutrition Educator and Health Coach, I create a supportive environment that enables you to articulate and achieve your goals. Throughout my education, I have been exposed to the most cutting-edge dietary theories and studied highly effective coaching techniques to help you find the right lifestyle that works best for you. Most approaches to healthy eating dwell on calories, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I coach my clients to explore basic improvements and implement gradual changes during our work together. As these pieces accumulate, my clients find these changes collectively creating a much larger impact than they originally anticipated. We work on what they want to improve within the circumstances of their bio-individuality.
Individual coaching provides you with guidance and support on your journey to health.
The journey to health can sometimes seem daunting, having someone on your side, supporting and encouraging you can make all the difference!

Frequently asked questions
How do I get started?
Contact me to set up a health consultation. During our appointment, we will review your health history, discuss your goals, and determine together a course of action. From there, we will be able to define if health coaching is right for you.
What so we do during our sessions?
Each month, we meet two times for 60 minutes. We will discuss progress, goals, and concerns. During our sessions, we are focusing on your health success and needs. Some sessions will be goal setting, others may be in the kitchen learning new healthy recipes, a grocery store tour is included in most coaching programs, as well as recipes, handouts, and helpful resources. Learning stress reduction techniques and incorporating movement into your life is also addressed.
What kind of programs do you offer?
Most people who seek health coaching are working on issues and diseases that have been progressing for years. Just as a disease is progressive, so is changing. The programs are set up to give you enough information, opportunities for accomplishing goals, and time to implement so change can be substantial. 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month coaching programs are available to choose from.
What if I complete my program and want to continue?
Once you have completed your initial program, you are on your way to change! Since we are focused on growth and your individual needs, we can create ongoing sessions that meet your bio-individuality. Whether that be another series of lessons or a support session once a month, or even quarterly. Your continued success is our goal!

Simple substitutions for a healthier life
One email a week to help you make small changes to eat yourself healthy.
Below are samples of the informative tips and health hacks you'll receive with your Nourishing Swaps Free Subscription.
-
Spinach- is a highly nutritious vegetable, but did you know that baby spinach is lower in oxalic acid, which is helpful to know if you have kidney stones, but also the reduced acid gives the spinach a sweeter taste?
-
Dried Fruits- are often added to give a sweet and chewy texture to many foods, but did you realize that the process of drying fruit causes the loss of many nutrients? Swapping out dried fruit with fresh berries gives you sweet flavors and also a high dose of antioxidants and high vitamin content.
-
Fresh Melons- Swapping out a fresh melon for an unripe melon will give you the best texture, flavor and the highest level of vitamins, antioxidants, and enzymes. Here's how you can select a ripe melon: select a melon that has a heavier weight than you might expect, tap the melon with the palm of your hand and listen for a dull and deep sound, press gently at the indent where the vine was attached, it should have some 'give' to it, and finally smell the bottom end for a sweet subtle scent.
