Who is it for?
Health coaching is for you if you feel overwhelmed about food or want support and accountability to live a healthy lifestyle.

What can I expect during a session?
Unlike mainstream approaches to health, health coaching sessions focus on YOU, the individual. Food and lifestyle recommendations are based on your goals, circumstances and health history. With this approach, change feels attainable and relevant.
In the first session, your health coach will explore your health history, goals, and needs. You will feel heard and supported in a judgement-free zone.
Each session thereafter is customized. Your health coach will use proven coaching methods, holistic health expertise, practical eating psychology, and individualized support to guide you.
At the end of each session, you’ll agree on recommended actions to take. You’ll also receive resources or handouts. Between sessions, you may message your health coach for extra accountability.
