There are a few instances someone may find health coaching services beneficial…. One instance is, once a patient receives a diagnosis and their conventional medicine doctor prescribes them medication, they may still be wondering, “What else can I be doing to help myself?” How can I change my diet, what supplements could I be taking, what type of exercise should I be doing, am I doing anything currently that is aggravating my symptoms, etc.? That is where I can help with all the lifestyle changes they can be making to help themselves feel symptom relief or to direct their body on how to heal itself, now that we have the diagnosis and intervention medicine. Another instance is if someone has not gotten a diagnosis but is having symptoms they are struggling with, I am able to use functional benchmarks to see how those are precursors to illness, and we can, again, make lifestyle changes that will get us back to health before the illness develops. The last instance would be if someone just wants to make healthier choices as a means of preventative medicine. For instance, I have breast cancer in my family, so I take preventative measures with diet and lifestyle to keep my hormones and cancer development at bay. There is so much conflicting medical information on the internet that sometimes it can be super overwhelming to try and do these things on your own. So I am here to get clients all the right information and help them implement it in sustainable ways.

As a Functional Medicine Health Coach, I look at you and life as a whole, evaluating physical, mental, emotional, relational, environmental, spiritual, financial, and occupational health, since we now know the proven link between mental and physical health. I then evoke your awareness on the health of these areas of your life, educate you on healthier habits, and help you grow into someone who has implemented these healthy habits successfully.
