A BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT I DO AS A HEALTH COACH

1. What is a wellness/holistic health coach and what tools do you use to get me unstuck?

As a health coach, I am here to provide you with the tools and support you need as you do the work on your health and wellness goals. In other words, I am your supplemental help in all aspects of wellness: nutrition and exercise of course, but also career, relationships, mental well-being...The primary focus of holistic health coaching is to come up with simple action-oriented strategies to achieve your goals in a way that works for you. We will focus on mindset and behavior changes to achieve a long-lasting transformation.

2. What kind of training and experience does a Holistic Health Coach have?

I studied at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and am still continuing my education with an advanced Hormonal Health Course. I'm also a Mentor for the Dallas Transplant Institute in Dallas, TX. Because of my own journey for better health and condition. I studied Macrobiotic/Asian and Natural Medicine 30+ years ago.My wellness coaching certification together with my other skills make me more confident that I can be that person who will help you reach your goals if you recognize yourself in what I just said.You should find someone who truly resonates with you and has the skill set you feel comfortable with. If you have any specific medical condition, working with a Holistic Health Coach in addition to your doctor, is an awesome way to get support during your healing journey.

3. Can we do a session from anywhere?

Yes! It is totally possible! Even if we’re thousands of miles away from each other. As long as you’re committed to working for a positive personal transformation, we can do it. As long as you have an Internet connection at least once a month, we’re good to go!And since we are blessed to live in an era of technology that helps me with my coaching, working with each other from anywhere in the world even in different timezones won’t be an issue. I love traveling and I'm used to working with people's specificities in any part of the world.

4. How can you help me as a wellness coach?

Working with a coach means you'll have someone to help you discover the right path rather than tell you which path to take. I will be there to assist you in making positive, real and lasting changes in life.As your coach, I will be there to encourage you to be committed to your action plan and keep you accountable. In any case, your coach should be supportive and nonjudgmental regardless of your lifestyle, or opinions but should know when to lovingly call you out on your BS.Sometimes, you'll be working through emotional blockages or difficult situations and a health coach will have the tools to guide you through this in a safe and positive environment.

5. Are you a doctor?

The straight answer is NO. I get asked medical questions a lot. I am NOT here to treat, cure or diagnose anything. In fact, I encourage my clients to work with doctors so that they can make the right choices for their health.What doctors can't always do, is assist their patients in the mindset and behavior changes that will positively affect their health. This is where Holistic Health Coaches come in.

How do you refer someone for issues that necessitate medical intervention?

I let my clients know that I am not medically trained or licensed to give a diagnosis or address medical issues and I refer them to a doctor. We can work directly with your doctor to apply their recommendations and design lifestyle strategies around them.

How do I know Holistic Health Coaching is right for me?

Change is as easy as mindset but if your mind is not there yet, it might feel impossible to change.The coaching process involves being honest with where you stand right now, your current personal challenges, as well as your mental blockages.

Most of all you need to be committed to making real changes in your life. It sometimes won't feel good, but I'll be there to support you and find ways to make it work. We will use different SELF-AWARENESS-TOOLS to make sure you are progressing in a way that truly aligns with you.
