Holistic Health Counselor. 

I am your personal advocate for living an energized and passionate life.

 A true holistic approach to life incorporates things that nourish you other than food, including things like honest and open relationships, a spiritual practice you feel connected to, a career that inspires you, and physical activity that makes you want to move and feed your soul and your hunger for living. I call these things Primary Food and as a Holistic Health Counselor I work with you to help find balance in all of these areas.

I invite you to a free initial consultation to discuss your health history, your concerns and goals, and what you have always imagined for your life. This free, one-hour session is a great way for you to get a feel for how I work with clients and to see if we are a good match. There is no obligation, but I welcome you to consider that this conversation may be a turning point in your life.

The goals of your personalized health counseling program are to radically improve your life,  resolve concerns specific to you and your body and to provide you with tools for a lifetime of balance. We will work together on finding the right foods for your body and on balancing Primary Food,the other areas of your life that feed you on the deepest levels. This unique approach provides meaningful, lasting results.

Like most of us, you have probably tried a variety of diets, and may even have managed to do well on some for a few weeks or even months. However, the emphasis such diets place on willpower, deprivation and denial is both unnecessary and counter-productive. The reality is that, unless you have a plan that is practical, works with your lifestyle and takes your individuality into account, it will not last. I will help you to create such a plan.

Conventional dietary theories present you with food restrictions and limitations that are difficult to sustain over time. Such quick fixes do nothing to help you achieve life-long health and happiness nor do they bring out the body’s natural inclination toward balance. Together, we will introduce new and healthful foods and activities, gently and slowly. As you start to feel better, these habits have a natural tendency to take hold and ease out the less healthful ones.

As you become more physically fit, other areas of your life such as relationships, career and creativity start to improve. You will naturally begin to crave those foods and activities that make you feel better, and to make time in your life for those things that are truly important to you.

In our free initial consultation we will discuss your unique situation in depth and determine how I can help you reach your personal goals. We will be able to see if we are a good match and if this approach will work for you. Even this first session will demonstrate how a holistic, individualized approach can make a major difference in your life.
