Who hears you, helps overcome obstacles, and identifies strategies to help you achieve your optimal health and performance goals?
Health & Performance Coaching is a lifestyle medicine, functional nutrition, sports nutrition, health & wellness, mindset, and peak performance coaching program.
As a coach, I don't tell you what to do. Through the lens of behavior change science, Health & Performance coaching is personalized to your needs, abilities, values, and goals. We identify your outcome goals. We co-create action plans that you can commit to with accountability, support, and guidance.. Examples of goats: exercise, nutrition, rest, proactive stress management, smoking cessation, alcohol consumption reduction, blood sugar and cholesterol management, healthy body composition, work-life balance, and more. For those in treatment for a medical condition (auto-immune disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc) who need support to better adhere to you treatment plan, Health & Performance Coaching can provide you with the guidance, and accountability you need to achieve your health goals. |
Strength- and Solution-Focused Collaborative Coaching Approach. I assist you with goal-setting, help identify effective tools for tracking and managing health- and wellness- related information, and teach you how to build effective, measurable, and personalized action plans. I provide support, guidance, accountability, and opportunity for solution-focused collaboration as you implement your plan.
