Conscious choice is the human difference, and all of us at some time in varying degrees give it away to habit and ease - on any or all of the physical, spiritual and emotional levels.
I define health as not just an absence of disease - but balance and high functioning in all areas of life - How you interact with your environment, how you see the world, what you expose your body to, limiting beliefs, what you eat, your emotions and your sum total of experience directly affect your health. Any successful health program or coaching will consider all of these factors in effecting change in the whole person. If you address only one or two of these aspects, you will get only a partial temporary result.
Root Cause
I am driven to find root cause of health issues. If you go to the doctor with a bad cold, she will notice the symptoms and likely give you a prescription to control them. A better approach would be to ask what is going wrong in your body's terrain that enabled a virus to take hold? Why was your immune system impaired? Controlling symptoms is a short term approach to feeling better - but does not address the root cause. Finding and changing root cause produces permanent long term results. The investment in working at the root cause level pays off for the rest of your life.
Who will benefit?
Anyone can benefit from my whole-health coaching approach including the following:
- Weight loss Many people struggle with weight - and may get to the point of believing they cannot lose weight. Those pounds may have crept up over the years, or there may have been a single event that caused weight gain all at once - (such as a traumatic event or a pregnancy) Most people have tried every diet plan out there and do not find results or they find the results are temporary. There are many health issues related to excess weight that can be controlled at the symptom level, but many people want to find health naturally and permanently at the root cause level.
- Chronic health issues Some of these issues include but are not limited to crohn's, arthritis, fibromyalgia, IBS, gall bladder, diabetes etc. Often there is little hope offered from the medical community and the treatment is symptom control.
- Natural Aging Anyone over the age of 35 has noticed differences in how the body responds and energy levels. Yes - you can age gracefully - balancing your metabolic processes and working with your body instead of against it.
- Women's and Children's health Pregnancy, morning sickness, children's health and behavior issues can all benefit from whole health coaching.
- Non-toxic Living I can help you identify the toxic load you are carrying and exposing your body to - and help you devise strategies to eliminate as much of it as possible.
- General Natural Health Maybe you have questions about specific issues or general questions about something you've heard or want to try - I can give you the natural health perspective and the reasoning behind it.
