FAQ
How do I know if health coaching is for me?
Health coaching is about helping you understand what is preventing you from reaching your health and wellness goals. It's about creating and anchoring a value system from which you make sound choices about your health and wellness with a trusted guide. It’s about having a champion who can take you through the peaks and valleys of adjusting your lifestyle to align with optimal well being. And it’s about taking a deeper look at your relationship with food to see how you can make better choices. I will be there every step of the way to ensure we develop a long-lasting, sustainable plan that works with your schedule and lifestyle.
And ask yourself, are you?
Doctors and dietitians either don't have the time or the skills to help people stay motivated and follow through to get lasting results. What happens then? We default to our set habits, even when they make us feel lousy. Without the right support and accountability, this dysfunctional cycle continues. The good news is this is where a health coach, like myself, is most needed - a guide who helps and supports you build healthy habits that align with how you want to feel every day. I offer you sustained motivation and guided follow through on your wellness path.

Isn’t eating healthy expensive and time consuming?
Eating clean and preparing whole, nutritious meals does not have to be a chore nor an added expense. It’s just like prioritizing what’s important in your life. Once you start to experience the benefits, you’ll learn ways to be a savvy shopper in order to keep reaping those benefits going. For those on a plant=based diet, you are not buying meat, fish, eggs and/or dairy which saves you a lot, whether or are vegan or vegetarian. I can show you how to manage your time, how to shop economically, and how to dine out, on vacation or on the go, so it all becomes second nature.
Is it hard to be a on a plant-based diet?
The short answer is: like everything else, it’s a matter of knowledge and practice. If you learn the right habits from the beginning, then it’s quite easy! One of the greatest aspects of a plant-based diet is that you introduce a lot more variety in your diet. In the beginning, you’re getting to know different options, and soon realize that it is not about what you can't eat, or replacing what you knew before, but rather about what you can eat, by enriching your diet with highly nutritious, diverse and delicious choices. It becomes quite natural. And trust me, once you start to feel and look your best, you enjoy it more and more!
I want to go vegan, but should I go 'cold-turkey'?
Everyone is different, so there’s no right way for everyone. For some, easing into a vegan diet is the way to go. It takes some time to learn what your options are and how to set up meals, including eating out. At first, you may have different cravings or energy highs and lows. If it's not done properly, there's a risk of becoming a junk-food vegan. After all, fries, chips and lots of sweets are vegan! For others, they are more familiar with the vegan landscape, so diving right in works for them. If you choose to work with me, this is definitely something we can tackle together.
