Nutritional Therapy and Personal Training
My coaching approach is personal, compassionate and realistic. Both your fitness programming and nutritional therapy recommendations will be tailor made with you in mind.
I take into careful consideration all you share during our initial consultation as well as assess your current physical strengths, limitations and mobility. Everything from health concerns to medical history to your personal fitness goals will be on the forefront as I program for you. It’s easy to be told what to do, but real progress comes when you know your programming has your end goals in mind.
Nutritional therapy clients will fill out multiple assessments, including a 350 questionnaire analyzing symptoms you’re experiencing in your body. Based on the information you share, I put on my detective hat in helping you implement practical guidance to bring relief 🕵🏼♀️
The relationship we have with our bodies is deeply personal. In fact, I believe it’s the most important relationship we have on this side of heaven. The relationship we have with ourselves is the only one we’re guaranteed to have until our last breath.
My health journey has been just that- a journey. Like many, the complexities of my relationship with my body begin in childhood. At a young age, I endured the life-altering experience of sexual trauma. In an effort to make sense of the shame I was carrying in my body, I sought refuge in food. I was bullied constantly for my weight. There was little emphasis or guidance on cultivating a healthy relationship with food or movement.
In my 20’s, after beginning to address the parts of my story that contributed to the relationship I had with my body, I began to lose weight for the first time in my life. I ended up losing 80 pounds.
Not long after, in the midst of Covid, I was thrusted into full-time caretaking when my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Seeing the life of someone you love deplete before your eyes so quickly will change anyone. It changed everything about me and plays a foundational role in the way I view health, life and longevity.
The next several years brought about navigating grief, mysterious health symptoms, anxiety, depression and living in survival mode, causing my relationship with weight to look like gaining, and losing, and gaining and losing. Through it all, I’ve always returned to my first love of health and fitness, no matter how complicated my relationship with my body may be.
I’m able to relate to wherever you may be in your story because of my own.
We are always changing and adapting and health looks like learning to play the cards you’re dealt. This is why it’s vital for us to learn what is healthy for us in each season of our lives.
Addressing one part of the picture without addressing the whole will inevitably leave vital parts of your health ignored. Healthy looks different for everyone.
