What can you expect to get when working with an integrative nutrition health coach?
Prescription for Health and Individual Health Plan
As a health coach I will equip you with tools and strategies to help you reach your health goals. You are the expert of your body. I will train you to listen to your body and environment to get in tune with your body to help you meet your health and wellness needs. We will be targeting 6 areas of health and wellness in the first phase. My job as a health coach is to meet you where you are and to help you build on strengths and overcome your challenges with small sustainable changes.
You are the expert of your body. It is my job to help you discover where to start the change process and how to make sustainable shifts to achieve your wellness goals. I will go on this journey side by side with you to position you to bring lasting change with lifestyle changes. I use a forward-thinking approach. I offer both evidence- and experience-based; it is a combination of traditional and modern approaches catered to each individual client. In addition to supporting clients with specific dietary and lifestyle goals, I empower clients to choose health-promoting behaviors that work for them. I raise awareness and offer support as clients move on their own terms toward the greater health, they want for themselves. My strategies and tools can lead to long-term behavior change. These changes and transformation can only become reality when clients do the meaningful work that forms a strong and mindful foundation for achieving goals. In other words, many professionals tell clients what to do, whereas I provide the ongoing support, feedback, and accountability needed to make lasting change happen.
Summary
Food: Health Coaches may suggest ways to crowd out less health supportive foods, such as added sugar, alcohol, highly processed foods, and any foods that clients have sensitivities to. They often recommend including more nutrient-dense whole foods, superfoods, and home cooking. This is different than prescribing a strict plan or regimen as Health Coaches help implement client-directed changes and sustainable shifts.
Note: It’s not within a Health Coach’s scope of practice to recommend removing major food groups, starting therapeutic diets, taking dietary supplements, or following extreme detox or diet programs.

Intervention services: As an interventionist my goal is to interrupt the addicted person’s alcohol or drug problem long enough to help the person see his/her need for help and the negative consequences addiction has on the person and family members. My approach is to offer hope and inspire a desire for the person to stop using alcohol or drugs and ultimately encourage the individual to go into a treatment program. The healing begins when the alcoholic or addict makes a personal acknowledgement of needing help which will offer hope, health, and healing to family and friends. As an interventionist, I will provide a variety of treatment options and provide you with additional information, resources, support and guidance in helping your loved one find freedom from addiction.
