What  is a health coach?

​

A health coach is like any other coach but focused on health. By providing individual coaching, we bridge the gap between clients and health providers. A health coach supports and empowers individual wellness transformation. We help clients look at health holistically and work toward greater quality of life overall. A health coach's main focus is to guide people through the steps of long term behavior change, not temporary ones. By being there for clients to hold themselves accountable for their goals and progress, a health coach is a partner in the client's journey.

Why 1:1 health coaching?

​

Being human is not always easy. We are gifted with a body and mind that help us navigate through life, move towards our desires and hopefully thrive. However, in our society, it can often be difficult to stay true to our spirit, our inner self, we feel pressure to fit into a mold and can become overburdened by responsibilities and expectations. Often times and over time, these pressures can create imbalance in our body and mind, triggering ailments, conditions or diseases. They can even affect our spirit.

The bad news is that this often feels umcomfortable, awful and painful. It is very difficult to find alignment again when we are suffering from an illness, whether it is of the body or mind. 

​

The good news is that there is always hope. The body has a natural ability to heal itself.

At Holistically Mindful, we believe that being mindful, pausing, being observant of our body, mind and emotions can guide us on what steps to take next. We are here to help guide you and support you while you re-align and support your body's ability to heal. We deeply understand how busy doctors can be and that clients need more support to help them feel better and even understand. As health coaches, we do not replace your doctor. We compliment the treatment you may be getting from your team of medical practitioners by supporting you, assisting in understanding the root cause of your issues and helping you implement healthier habits. During our time together, we will offer recommendations based on your needs and goals.

What is School Wellness Consulting?​

​

As a retired educator, I got the chance to see first hand how much support school staff, faculty and students needed. Schools should be a safe and healthy place for everyone. However, staff, administrators and especially teachers are often overwhelmed, overworked and unsupported. Students are entering very important stages of their lives where they need support and guidance but are often struggling in their school environment. Many do not feel heard, seen and open to express their true self which is so crucial for their mental and emotional growth. They may also feel unsupported when it comes to their physical health. The foods offered to them affect the way their brain function, their ability to concentrate as well as their physical well being.  The lack of resources about the importance of nutritious, healthy food on the body and mind prevents them from making healthier choices.

​

By combining my graduate degree training, decades of experience as an educator and my health coaching experience, I have developed ways to bring solutions to schools that want to improve the health of their environment, students and faculty/staff. By conducting a thorough assessment of the core issues that need to be addressed, we together come up with a plan to bring awareness, knowledge and concrete solutions that can be implemented in the classroom, in the teacher's lounge, in the office, and everywhere in between. Using holistic mindfulness can truly create a ripple effect. With tools and information, students, teachers and school administrators can equally feel empowered to create changes in their lives and the environment they share.

What is Organization/Company Wellness Consulting?​

​

In order for a company/organization to thrive, employers and employees need to be healthy, mentally, emotionally and physically. They equally need to feel supported, seen, heard, appreciated

and respected as individuals. 

However, too often, imbalances in company culture or lack of resources can contribute to  employees' low productivity, absenteeism, low company morale, employee-employer disconnect among other possible issues.

 

By applying my knowledge and experience of staff management and training along with my health coaching training and polyvagal theory I will address the root causes of your organization's imbalances by first conducting a thorough assessment of core issues and  then offer a plan to bring concrete solutions to both the employer and the employee. 

With my continuous support and guidance, along with an organization's motivation and commitment, an organization's culture and overall health and wellness can be drastically changed within just a few weeks.

What are A La Carte Services?​

​

Our passion for health and wellness and our own personal experience inspired us to create our individual services. Over the years, we (and other parents) often wished kids could enjoy a birthday party without the toxic chemicals or high amount of sugar; we've attended work parties where we saw coworkers complaining about the food choices or entertainment; we've attended adult parties where everything was fried and heavy and didn't feel great the next day; and we've spent way too much time thinking and planning for traveling in a healthy way! 

​

The good news is that we became pros at planning healthy and fun parties and travel.  We use very holistic & mindful techniques and work with each individuals to create what they need. We love assessing and we will make sure we understand exactly what you are needing!
