1:1 COACHING
Working together
During our time together, I will help you look at the core aspects of your overall health and well-being. As your coach, I will support and guide you by giving you evidence based knowledge and equipping you with the necessary tools you need to make better sustainable choices.
1:1 PERSONALIZED COACHING
Since you are a unique person with your own set of experiences, genetics, background and nutritional needs, coaching must therefore be tailored to suit your needs. Working with my 5 pillar foundation: genetics, gut health, stress, exercise and mindset- we tailor each to suit your specific needs.
Throughout our time together, you will be sent resources by email. This extra supplementation is to help you outside of our coaching sessions.
Coaching is not about the session. It is about what YOU do in-between sessions that is going to help. Coaching is purely a support, education and guidance system, but the work you put in is what will give you the results. Therefore you will be given “homework” to help you with this process.
This is one of my specialities. Since I have Celiac Disease and have lived with this condition for many years, I have made it my aim to learn as much as I can about it and stay up to date on new information. While coaching does not involve meal plans, I can assist you in education around making good nutritional choices and how to cope with the day to day challenges that only a fellow Celiac will know about.
Change is only possible when you understand the why and when you know the how. Sometimes the only one holding us back is ourselves. It all starts with our thoughts. You cannot create a healthy life without unhealthy thoughts. So therefore, mindset must come into the picture. Change your thoughts to change your habits. Your habits then become your way of life.
I am passionate about gut health because I know what it is like to struggle with unhealthy gut. I have had gut dysbiosis and leaky gut. An unhealthy gut is responsible for so many things: hormonal imbalance, skin issues, cognitive issues such as anxiety and mood disorders, food sensitivities and much more. Everyone can benefit from learning how to take care of their gut health which is involves much more than food.

What do you speacialse in?
My passion is to help women with what I call the three foundations: Genetics, gut health and mindset. Of course these three things have sub levels too of which we address. I am a firm believer, from my own experience and evidence based education, that the gut and brain are connected and our genetics greatly influences both. In turn, our genetics are influenced by absolutely everything in our life: lifestyle, environment, nutrition and our experiences. Delving deep into the core of who you are can give you powerful insight and the tools to improve your health.
