New Group Weight Loss Program

I'd like to introduce the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Get Healthy And Drop a Few program. 

This is a program where you can get the best of both - group and individual health coaching.  

Even world class athletes need a coach to help them achieve their greatness. Why shouldn't you? Health Coaches provide the support network you need to reach your personal goals.  Everyone needs a little help from their friends now and then.  When you are making changes that affect your health and lifestyle it can be confusing, difficult, even SCARY!!!  By hiring me as your Health Coach I can help guide you through your personal program to success.

My personal journey from morbidly obese to a healthier and much happier life style has ignited a passion within me that I want to share with each of my clients. Many people believe living a healthier life style means deprivation and tasteless foods. Let me impart my personal discoveries and educational training to show you that this is simply not true. Your program will be completely personal and unique to you. Together we will incorporate what is most important to you and work toward meeting your personal goals. 

Additionally I am a voracious information seeker and will constantly be staying abreast of current nutritional information and trends so that you will reap the benefits easily.

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.
