Holistic Health Coach


My Approach




I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected.

  • Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat?
  • Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising?

As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.

My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding.

Together we’ll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy. As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.

 

Testimonials
(from my clients with their permission)

 

  • “…And you were absolutely correct about monitoring my sodium intake. Stopped eating anything with salt as a preservative and in less than a month my blood pressure is completely normal! ...Doctor did not even suggest such a simple change before whipping out the prescription pad!”

    – KB

     

     

     

     

  • "I have a number of different health issues which makes working with me quite complicated; however Elizabeth takes the time to ensure she fully understands what my issues are, taking into account my own opinions and challenges. Whether she is giving me reflexology, which always has a noticeable, positive effect, or providing me with health coaching techniques, I know that she is providing me with a personalised approach, rather than 'one size fits all'. I have found her care to have brought me profound, positive results."

    - JF

     

  • “You really focused on the key issues. I actually felt the session was so powerful in terms of making me feel and think about the things going on in my life at a deeper level.”

    - GR

  • Biggest change "That I felt the overwhelm that usually surrounds meal planning in this busy family house become more manageable." Best part: "The feeling of calm that Elizabeth brought to the session. I was able to think in an unpressured environment...  I would say she helped me to understand what was contributing to my feelings of exhaustion and overwhelm. By asking the right questions, she then helped me to set small, achievable steps towards overcoming these feelings of overwhelm." 

    - LH - teacher

  • "Elizabeth has been a listening ear and was able to coax out the answers deep within me.  She is great to work with! She doesn't tell you what to do but she knows how to get the answers out of you and these answers are really great because they are doable and also because I came up with it. She doesn't judge and I feel safe sharing my thoughts with her."

    - MR, Nurse

  • Best Aha Moment: "That to be present and feel better I can use the moments with my daughter everyday to have hugs and feel brighter.  Loved the breathing. And talking through life and figuring out how to make it better.  It’s a great way to unravel what you already know - you just need the help getting there because you don’t always have the skills and time to dive deep by yourself.

    - SW, mother and business owner 

Integrative Nutrition® Plate

The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance of local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality. I’ll introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body!

Primary Food™

It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.


Bio-Individuality™

The concept of bio-individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background.

Crowding Out

Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will “crowd out” the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you all the way.

 

Deconstructing Cravings

Cravings play a critical role in understanding what your body needs and shouldn’t be ignored. When you learn how to deconstruct your cravings and understand what they’re really telling you, you will be able to reclaim a sense of balance and harmony.

How to Become a Health Coach

This is a frequently asked question I get so I am sharing how.

I was so passionate about holistic health.  I had already trained in massage therapy, reflexology and aromatherapy and done a nutrition advisor certificate as well.  I was looking for something that would allow me to reach a deeper level with people, that would nourish them and me too on a personal level.  I come from a background of loving herbs, kitchen remedies and food so when I discovered I had the opportunity to take a year long health coaching course I took it.

  • Do you dream of a fulfilling career helping others to become healthier and happier?
  • Are you crazy passionate about nutrition, health and wellness?

The Institute for Integrative Nutrition’s Health Coach Training Program may be perfect for you! It was for me! Integrative Nutrition is where I focused on my passions and took the next step in achieving my dreams. I cannot imagine life without this education; it has helped me as a complementary health professional career and also in my personal life as a parent and carer.
