Sounds great! Why should I work with you?
How many times have you told yourself, or others, that you were going to start and complete New Year's Resolutions? Or any type of "challenge"?
How many times have you maintained a healthy or personally satisfying habit, only to have real life throw things your way to mess that up, leaving you to declare and promise that you'll start again on Monday (or next week, or on a specific date)?
We're all guilty of that. It doesn't matter whether it was only 1 time or a million... and counting. At some point in our lives we had the best of intentions to start and follow something through, only to have it be deserted.
And that's okay.
So, what does that have to do in terms of working with us?
People have no problem automatically thinking of or hiring different services to help them accomplish something they know they can't do on their own, or don't feel confident in successfully completing. For example, if you want a haircut you hire a hair stylist. If you want a massage you hire a masseuse. If you want to reach fitness goals you hire a personal trainer. Hiring a health and wellness coach or consultant is no different.
Have you ever tried talking to your doctor about addressing issues in other ways, other than their usual quick response of going on medication or the generalized answer of "diet and exercise"? Western medical doctors have a lot on their plates and more often than not aren't able to have in-depth conversations with you. So you end up leaving the appointment 15 minutes after getting in, hardly feeling like you got helpful information or direct answers you were hoping for.
In actuality, Western doctors aren't trained to know all of the diet and exercise programs, alternative support therapy opportunities, and natural wellness avenues. Some might have an interest area and a little background, but it's not their field of expertise. Dietitians and Nutritionists have education and interest in food and nutrition, but focus on specific numbers or following certain plans. Have you ever found yourself frustrated by not getting the direct answers you’re hoping for? Your doctor already has a lot of his or her plate, so when you ask what you should do to be healthier, you may be faced with the broad, generalized answer, “Diet and exercise." Sure, there may be a diet or exercise program your doctor recommends, but the truth is it’s not their field of expertise. And it most likely is not the best program or diet for your unique case. They are fantastic resources for health and wellness in many ways.
The truth is no one person is the same as another, so no one diet or therapy or tool is meant to work for everyone. That's the beauty of human nature and the definition of bio-individuality. Besides, who likes to be told to do something that doesn't resonate with them? When you understand how all of us have different needs, obstacles, and health and life concerns, you can start to visualize how health and wellness coaches/consultants can bring huge benefit to you by customizing a program and plan that's made for you and your goals. A long-lasting, healthy lifestyle comes from small changes, adjustments, and growth. By giving you the time, attention, and space to share your experiences, we get to know you and get a better understanding of your full story. Then we're able to work together in-depth to find the best plan and course of action for you.
What makes us stand out from most health professionals is that while our training and certification is in nutrition, we are integrative in that we take into account your whole living experience, and offer a combination of education, support, and inspiration. We are your ally. A friend and confidant throughout your journey. We're trained to be supportive mentors and to lead by example, practicing what we preach and continuously and actively expanding our knowledge as we continue.
We're your empowering cheerleader, much like a personal trainer gives you the encouragement and motivation to work on and achieve your fitness goals. And we look at ALL aspects of life, not just diet and nutrition. While that may be a focus for a lot of people, there are other areas that are just as important, if not more for some -- your career, interests and hobbies, relationships of all kind, spirituality. All of these are vital for us to be thriving, fulfilled human beings.
Our aim is the whole you.
Long story short, if you're struggling to make changes, fell short of meeting goals in the past, or wanting to learn how to best improve your own wellness in a way that feels right and balanced for you, then hire an Integrative Health and Lifestyle Consultant.
Your body, mind, and soul will be glad you did.
