Health & Wellness Coaching
““Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”

What is Health & Wellness Coaching?
Health & Wellness coaching like any coaching starts with you and your needs and desires. All programs are developed specifically for each person. Below you will find 4, 6 and 12-week programs from Good to Better to Best. Each one of the programs can be customized to your coaching needs dependent upon the time frame you choose to invest.
WHY DO I NEED A HEALTH & WELLNESS COACH?
Dr. Dean Ornish has proven through scientific trials the four pillars to longevity. They are…Food, Exercise, Meditation/Prayer (Connection to a Higher place) and Connection/Love of Others and Being Loved. As a coach I am here to walk with you as you navigate these four pillars to live a long, healthy, happy life.
I understand that it is difficult to change habits and adapt new ways of living. Our work together will be centered around what you want to achieve and how to get there while navigating food and exercise choices, time constraints, stress and relationships amongst other pitfalls that may show up along the journey.
The journey itself will look differently for everyone. Does your road to health and wellness include working with one or more of these: food, fitness, support, goal setting, working with thoughts and feelings, past successes and disappointments and staying on course?
Are you ready to FEEL GOOD, live a long and active life, learn what behaviors may be holding you back that you weren’t aware you had, be comfortable as you age, sleep better and stress less? If so, read over the program options and ask yourself the questions:
“How am I valuing myself and the life I am currently living?”
“Would I benefit from the support of a coach?”
Programs include:
Good: 4-weeks
*Finding the Diet and Lifestyle that fits your needs

Exercise and Movement come in many packages. Weights, Yoga, Stretching, Biking, Walking, Running, Dancing, Hiking, Pilates, Group Fitness Classes and so much more.
Diet is defined as: the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.

““Each of the program’s four components—eat well, move more, stress less, and love more—has profound and dynamic beneficial effects on all of these shared mechanisms that cause us to get sick and enable us to heal.” ”
CONNECTION TO SOMETHING HIGHER THAN OURSELVES
WELLNESS includes rest and seven to eight hours of sleep every evening.
““People tend to think of breakthroughs in medicine as a new drug, a laser, or a high-tech surgical procedure. They often have a hard time believing that the simple choices that we make in our lifestyle. What we eat, how we respond to stress, whether or not we smoke cigarettes, how much exercise we get, and the quality of our relationships and support can be as powerful as drugs and surgery. And they often are.”

CONNECTION TO OTHERS

““Being able to change your behavior is central to any personal growth effort, and at the same time it’s incredibly difficult, given the power of our unconscious habits. In order to change behavior to achieve personal growth, we must develop one capacity: We must develop the ability to create the mental and emotional space inside ourselves to observe and understand what we are doing and think about why we do it.”
