A "bit" About me
Treat persons as a whole body, mind and soul, this practice has a name, Functional Medicine Health model, determining the cause of the illness not merely mask symptoms and understand how our lifestyle is key in the treatment .
I certainly did not set out to become a Dual Certified Nurse Practitioner, Functional Health Coach, Certified Life Coach, dedicated Health Advocate, grateful recovering self-sabotager, truly blessed and encouraged by life's challenges,
But, this is where I am, WHAT A GAME CHANGER!
My passion and mission is to teach, share and encourage people to live better an feel good.
Coaching is the way to create the difference in health outcomes of my patients and clients as well as their families.
Raised in a nutrition based home, I rebelled as a teen! Mom, being the pioneer against processed foods and products that cause the harms we face now from food processing was the wind beneath my wings, she laid the foundation for me to build on. Learning through Moms persistence, I understood the importance of caring for self with proper nutrition and NOT conforming to unhealthy marketing trends. I was that kid with the raw peanut butter on hard whole grain bread, embarrassed that I did not have bologna and American on white with no crust.
Apparently survived that humiliation and now am forever grateful for the embarrassments and a better understanding of true health.
Pursuing my Masters in Nurse Practitioner with the dream of running my own clinic in a small mountain town was "the dream" then, geographical life changed.
I ultimately settled into city life working for local doctors and hospitals.
Working for years and not seeing patients get better started to wear on my whole being.
It was my job to help my patients get better by prescribing meds and handing out home instructions, never to ask what they wanted or discuss goals and possibilities with them. Seeing patient after patient get sicker not well, and unable to accomplish the goals set forth by the system, drove me to look deeper.
I realized this was not the way I want to practice health care.
There was no Health involved in it and no one seemed to care!
I began to see and feel the disconnect between patients and their health system. What they were told to do and what was happening were not aligned. Patients were sad, scared, ashamed and felt they made the doctor upset with them therefore leading to poor follow-up and a deeper cycle of patient- self defeat.
This presented an unhealthy, non-therapeutic relationship resulting in patients afraid to speak up and take action.
The solution was actually much easier than the cycle of illness. Discovering the what was leading to the health problems is basic care, and then you have the choice to correct course and reverse disease and illness.
This makes the difference in peoples lives.
Coaching my client to voice their health goals allows us to discover what the obstacles are, then simply move forward and feel healing take place.
Awareness of body, mind and health, how you got where you are and how to get where you want to be can be as simple as turning on a light switch with the right coaching.
We all have our unique experiences, beliefs about life, our truths and personal stories affecting our habits and changeability.
With guidance and support, believing that we both have the highest version in mind for you Will effect the change you want.
I offer the perspective and the experience to my client to make the changes they know they want to make and move along with them as they discover easy tools that fit their lifestyle without much disruption, this facilitates lasting results and better health.
A coach and client focused on the same goal is POWER.
Move That Mountain is a symbolic term for me, this saying kept me pushing through to my better life,
I believe it starts with just a push.
Who I am and what I do comes down to why, what I do is different from others.
Its because it works NOT for a short time, It lasts a lifetime. I am living the proof!
