Your Beginning
Having your own personal Health and Wellness Counselor can make all the difference to you achieving success in attaining your health and lifestyle goals.
The individual attention you receive from a one-on-one meeting with me, a Board Certified Health Coach, is entirely different from the typical 5 or 10-minute conversation you might have with your doctor (after you have been kept waiting for 30 minutes to get in), which typically ends in the prescribing of a pill to “cure” what ails you.
At My Wellness Counts, I offer my clients time, guidance, and inspiration to help shift behavior to healthier habits. I consult with my clients in-person, over the phone and via Skype, so even if you live a thousand miles away, we can still make that personal connection (love that!).
Clients develop a deeper understanding of food and lifestyle choices that work specifically to improve their individual lives and their own bodies.
Most nutritionists give their clients a list of foods to avoid, which explains why so many people fail in adhering to the restrictions; I add in healthy foods that support your body so that your body re-learns and re-adapts to recognize what it needs and what it does not.
Many people are frustrated by cravings for “bad” foods which tend to make them feel guilty or engage in deprivation; I understand that cravings are our body’s way of communicating to us that something is missing, perhaps out of balance nutritionally or otherwise.
Most people have heard the expression “you are what you eat”, but did you also know that what you eat directly affects your blood, your cells, your thinking, your energy? I believe there is a direct correlation between what we eat and how that food makes us feel. Food has energetic properties and distinct qualities that have a direct impact on our thoughts and our feelings and our actions.
At My Wellness Counts, Nutritional and Lifestyle changes are implemented over time, gradually, so that they can be understood and integrated as clients observe their own body’s responses to various modifications, choose health-promoting behaviors that work for them, and eventually become self-sufficient in knowing how to improve energy, balance, health and happiness.
