I have always believed in the body-mind-spirit concept, and in my counseling practice it did not fail to show itself on a very regular basis. While I knew how to approach the mind and spirit portions of this concept, my knowledge about physical health needed a boost, which made me get training to become an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I saw clients get better emotionally and mentally until they seemed to hit a wall at times, and I observed that this wall was either due to the lack of a spiritual connection or simply due to an unhealthy lifestyle.

I am by no means a nutritionist or dietitian, but I learned the basics about how the food we eat affects our physical, emotional, and mental health, the effects of constant stress on the body, and the importance of physical activity in our lives. This knowledge allows me not only to point out unhealthy habits my clients may have but also helps me to assist them figuring out how to make better choices in life with regard to food and physical activity. These choices are mostly individualistic, because what works for one does not necessarily work for another.

Finding solutions is always a joint effort between clients and health coach.
