What will I do at a health consultation?
The free initial health consultation will be an hour long session in which we discuss your health goals and how Sprout Wellbeing health coaching and other programs can support you in reaching these goals. I ask that anyone participating in any of my programs attend a initial health consultation since it allows me to get to know you, your body, your health issues, and your health goals. There will be a health questionnaire to fill out before the session and we will review this questionnaire and any other topics you would like to discuss in our consultation session.
What is Health Coaching?
Health Coaching is a unique, exciting innovation in health and nutrition. As a Holistic Health Coach, I have studied all the major dietary theories and will help you and your family discover what approach works best for you at this point in your life.
No one diet or lifestyle works for everyone. In addition to being a Certified Holistic Health Coach, I am also a Certified Personal Trainer and Pilates instructor. Therefore, I have a diverse tool kit to help guide you and your family in finding the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.
Do you want to:
- Lose weight?
- Eat healthier to prevent disease?
- Finally take the time to prioritize self-care?
- Explore possible lifestyle alternatives to prescription drugs?
- Learn to cook healthy (and yummy!) food for you and your family?
- Get your family eating healthy and being active to get your kids started on a healthy future?
- Feel energetic and positive about your life?
- Explore how diet and exercise can improve your physical and mental health symptoms and/or energy levels?
It is my belief that no one should be hurting or tired on a regular basis. We may get used to our headaches, indigestion, aching bodies, low energy in the afternoons, bad moods, anxiety, and sleepless nights, but these are all signs your body is out of balance and these imbalances can be improved through changes in diet, exercise, and stress levels. I want to support you in understanding your body and making changes that make you feel good for the rest of your life!
Will you tell me to eat weird food and deny myself?
You may explore foods that are new to you but the goal of Sprout Wellbeing coaching and cooking classes is to explore what works for you in your life without depriving you or isolating you from your friends because you are the weird "health nut". We hope to build a community around healthy living so that when we embark on our healthy living quest we are brought closer to our community rather isolated from our friends and family.
A different 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 look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
A health coach (or health counselor) is a wellness guide and supportive mentor. Together, we’ll work to achieve your goals in areas such as weight management, food cravings, sleep and energy. Through working with me, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.
Bio-individuality
The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has her or his own food and lifestyle needs. So, when the experts say, “dairy is good for you” or “fat is unhealthy,” it doesn’t apply to everyone. 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 in making positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, personal preferences, and background. Instead of prescribing one fix for all people, I use a personalized, holistic approach that is based on your needs.
Everything is food
We are not only fed by food but by other factors in our lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual practice are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.
Integrative Nutrition Pyramid
The Integrative Nutrition food pyramid focuses on nourishing food and lifestyle choices. Our wellness pyramid emphasizes the importance of high quality vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and water. To complete the picture, the pyramid is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal heath: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality.

What is boot camp in the park?
I have invited our community to try out free boot camp workouts in the park during the first 2 weeks of September. This is to judge interest in these types of classes so I know if I should find an indoor location to hold classes when it gets colds. So come show your support if you would like these classes to be available in the future!
