Health and happiness coaching is a unique service where one person (the coach, me) acts as a guide, teacher, and motivator to another person (the client, you) in the pursuit of goals related to health and happiness. This covers quite a bit of ground (see My Approach for more details) but these goals can be big or small, general or specific, physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, or any combination thereof. My role as a coach includes: Helping you identify and prioritize your goals Helping you break your big goals down into manageable, bite-size pieces Teaching you how to enjoy the journey Put very simply, a coach helps you figure out what you want, gives you a practical way to get there, and either pats you on the back or kicks you in the butt as needed along the way. Who am I? When I was little, I did not want to be a Health and Happiness Coach (actually, I wanted to be a Jedi Knight, but that’s another story). As I grew older, I came across the field of personal coaching. I have a passion for teaching and have always searched for the right forum. I realized that I had already been coaching people for years; it was just time to make it official. My purpose: to help people envision the life that they want and then help them to bring this vision into reality.

What's my philosophy?

At core, my philosophy is very simple: we choose the people who we want to be. This means that whether you are satisfied with your life or not, whether you like it or not, or whether you are healthy and happy or not is your responsibility. We each create our own lives, consciously or unconsciously, through the thoughts, choices, and actions we take every minute of every day. A person’s perception, how they see the world, creates the world in which they live.

I want to help people to live consciously in order to create more health and happiness in their lives. It is my way to make our world a better place because healthy, happy people tend to touch the world around them in a positive way, thus sending a ripple the touches even more people.

What can you expect?

Free Phone Consultation: This is a brief (20 minutes or so) talk that begins our relationship. We discuss what you want to achieve, get to know each other a little, and decide if we are the right “fit” to work together.

Initial Consultation: This is an hour long meeting in which we take a detailed look at your lifestyle, and talk in-depth about your goals. We meet at a location of your choosing (typically one’s home or business) in order to organize and prioritize your goals. This initial consultation sets the stage for our future sessions.

Coaching Session: These hour long meetings are where we focus on your goals. The topics explored in these sessions vary, but there are 3 areas that define these sessions:

• Education- Simply put, I will present to you useful and meaningful information pertaining to your goals.
• Empowerment- I will teach you practical techniques (physical, mental, and spiritual) to help you reach your goals.
• Encouragement- I am here for you: to talk, to vent, to celebrate, and to hold you accountable. I will support you throughout your journey of change.

All Coaching Sessions include phone “check-ups” and unlimited e-mail support. Coaching Sessions are purchased monthly and discounted Group Sessions of up to 4 people are also available.

“Clean Your Cupboard” Visit: This is an hour long visit where I raid your pantry and get rid of unhealthy food that I find. As I am cleaning out your kitchen, I explain my reasons why certain food products must go, and offer healthy alternatives.

“Shopping Coach” Session: This is a session where I accompany you to your grocery store of choice and assist you in healthy shopping. I educate you on basic nutrition and teach you how to read labels on food products. The length of this session is dependent on the length of your grocery list.

Educational Personal Training Session: This is an hour long session where I coach you through your workout routine and explain in-depth the proper form and sequence of each exercise. I also give suggestions for varying your routine to achieve the best results.

Custom Session: We can create customized sessions that focus on a specific goal or interest. Sessions are typically one hour, but since this is custom-made, the time can vary as well.

Seminars, Lectures, and Workshops: I speak on a wide variety of wellness-related topics: fitness, nutrition, stress management, purposeful living, time management, perception, meditation, and more. I present at businesses, organizations, and private homes. The goals of these lectures are Education, Empowerment, and Encouragement.

What's it going to cost?

The real question to ask is, “How much does it cost to stay unhealthy and unhappy?” Think about it for a minute. How much do you think people spend on healthcare for disorders related to an unhealthy lifestyle? Even more serious, what is the cost if a person feels no sense of purpose or knows they are not living up to their full potential? What does it cost a person to be afraid or to feel alone? To become healthier and happier, your cost is commitment: the commitment of time, money, and responsibility. When I agree to be your coach, I commit to you. At that point, I have a stake in your success; I care about the person you become. I repay the trust you place in me by doing my best to help you become a happier, healthier person.
