what to expect
In coaching I aim to support you and guide you, but I will not shy away from sharing my perspective on what is holding you back in your progress. My main goal is to teach YOU how to cleanse and nourish your own body, so that you feel (and are) empowered to support yourself in your wellness goals. Do I require perfection? NO. What do I believe will get you the results you are looking for? Commitment. Commitment to try, to fail, to learn, to adjust, and to get back up and try again. Be committed to LOVING and SUPPORTING yourself back to an Ease state, rather than a Dis-Ease state! Choose you. You are worth it.
You will hear from me over and over again, that what we need to do is find out what your body is TRYING to do, and in what ways we can CLEANSE and NOURISH it to support that activity or end result. Along that vein, below are some topical highlights that we could cover in a coaching session or subscribed program.
nutrition support
Each client will be sent a Herbal Nutrition Fundamentals document after their first consultation. This document outlines the foundational principles that you need to understand and begin to practice. Then, the fun begins as we layer on the specific herbs to support your specific health concern, and watch your body respond! When we give our bodies (and mind, heart, and spirit) what they need, they get stronger and more vibrant. I can teach you how with wholesome foods and herbs.

Nourishing one’s body and soul - especially one raised on the “Standard American Diet” and lifestyle, requires a lot of shifting of paradigms and willingness to learn. some habits may need some tweaking. Some new habits may need to be formed. I’ve been there, and I want to teach you some ways to feel at peace with and in your body, rather than at war.
As a mother of 3, I have gotten to practice a lot of principles of vitalist herbalism and wellness lifestyle with my children, to ensure that we don’t follow the modern trend of constantly being at the doctor’s office. Developing confidence in supporting my children through various illness and injuries is an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything.
I have also enjoyed working with teens and seeing the quick results they achieve through simple changes (pain-free periods? less acne? quicker non-surgical healing from sports injuries? I wish I had an herbal coach in my teenage years!).
Having been through postpartum anxiety and depression and significant breastfeeding struggles with each baby, I have a special interest in helping women during that critical 1+ year period (per baby) of childbearing.
cleanse support
I will provide you with information on the whys and hows of the cleanse, along with recipes, shopping lists, schedules, journal prompts, and personalized coaching to prepare for the cleanse and to guide you through it. Beginning any cleansing program should begin with an assessment of your current health and capabilities, after the go-ahead from your primary care physician.

This program is the most aggressive cleansing protocol that Dr. Christopher defined. While many people do not need to do the entire full protocol long-term, there are elements of the program which can be incorporated by anyone at any time. Allow me to help you identify the small steps or empowered leaps you are ready to take using these principles.
Cleansing programs require understanding, preparation, accountability and/or moral support to be done successfully. I would love to help set you up for success and support you along the way.

MY STORY WITH CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT
In 2012 a car accident left me in chronic pain with debilitating headaches. I searched for ways to get better. I never dreamed I would be able to play my violin again, or sing, or dance - without triggering a migraine and/or neck and back spasms.
Then I studied with certified Alexander Technique teacher Jennifer Roig-Francoli for a couple of years. I learned how to live and move with greater EASE in my body. Doing so unlocked my ability to make music, play sports, and dance again. Combining this practice with my herbal and nutritional knowledge and other mind-body and emotional work, my body now feels much safer to live in and much more WHOLE.
You CAN heal from chronic pain. You can learn to play an instrument without pain. You can feel better in your body, whether you’re working hard or just wanting to jump up and express yourself through dance (cue Audrey Hepburn). I can help you with this.
