What to Expect When Working With Me:
​
My style of coaching is to implement small, simple changes that are low stress and manageable. I create a safe space to feel supported and heard, while providing necessary resources in order to reach your goals and make good decisions for your health.
​
Know this--this is your journey. I cannot do the work for you, only you can. I am here to guide you and support you on your journey. Getting well means getting out of your comfort zone. Discomfort is difficult, but SO worth it!
​
Also, listen to your body. Through my guidance and suggestions, you will learn to listen to your body and become more mindful of what nourishes you--what allows your mind & body to thrive.
​
Commit to yourself, incorporate good quality whole food changes and lifestyle habits, and you will see AND feel results.
