What is a Health & Wellness Coach?
Health & Wellness Coaches work with individuals and groups in a client-centered process to facilitate and empower the client to develop and achieve self-determined goals related to health and wellness.
As a coach, I am an educator of options. I support my clients in mobilizing internal strengths and external resources, and in developing self-management strategies for making sustainable, healthy lifestyle and behavior changes.
I will assist clients to use their insight, personal strengths and resources, goal setting, action steps and accountability toward their desired changes. As an educator, I am committed to providing science-based, trusted information, positive encouragement and continued motivation.
Lab Testing
Lab tests ordered for you by a Health Coach??? YES... It's actually a real, legitimate "thing"!!! :) We will discuss with you which tests you would like to have done, then submit a lab requisition to a LabCorp facility near you. You will go in and get the blood draw at your convenience and voila, the results will be sent directly to you!
Blood work results can be so confusing. What do all those numbers mean? How the heck do you even pronounce that word? What do the results say about overall health?
There are so many people who have laundry list of issues, yet their standard tests all seem to come back "normal". We know there is a needs to take the investigation to the next level.
Traditional lab ranges are calculated based upon the average population, those both “sick” and “healthy.” The lab ranges I use are based only on the average of HEALTHY people, as these are the optimal ranges.
Our philosophy of optimal health stems from a functional and "root cause" approach. In order to truly get a look at the big picture, we believe it is often times necessary to run labs and do some comprehensive testing. We can order these tests for our clients and help you to interpret them if you so choose, or you may take them to any of your healthcare providers for further examination.
As always, it is recommended that you are working with a functional medicine doctor (Naturopath, Chiropractor, MD, etc.) as part of your healthcare team. We are here to provide guidance and resources, but we do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe.
Being able to offer this service saves our clients time and money by avoiding costly doctor visits, jumping through insurance hoops, and most important it empowers the client to take control of their own wellbeing. You decide which tests to run... no insurance hoops, no diagnosis codes, no fuss!
We will educate clients about direct-to-consumer lab testing in order to take a more in-depth look at their health and how to reach individual wellness goals. In addition we will explain the importance of each test and what to expect, helping to understand which questions to potentially ask at the next doctor visit.
Lastly and most important, we will share resources so that clients can start implementing natural strategies ASAP for improving their data!

Food Matters!
Nutrition is always at the cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle, and what you put in your mouth several times a day is the MOST important aspect. Hippocrates once said, "Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food".
Making sure your food is nutrient dense is a first priority. However, sometimes there are deficiencies and supplements are useful when warranted, but we do not believe they should take the place of a proper diet.
Running a series of micronutrient testing will allow you to implement an individualized nutrition/supplement regimen that is just right for your body's needs.

Clear Mind Neurofeedback
Brain Fitness
Protocol
Clear Mind Brain Mapping & Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback (NF) literally means “brain” and “input”, where the brain is monitored and input is given instantly. Neurofeedback specifically monitors brainwaves, looks for irregularities, then produces a signal that is designed to correct the irregularity and guide the brainwave back into a healthy pattern. With repetition of this process over time, the brain will learn to stay in healthy ranges without the aid of the computer.
The result is an improvement in brain regulation, which in turn can reduce or eliminate most neurological symptoms.
NF or electroencephalogram (EEG)-Biofeedback is a drug-free form of brain training to directly alter the underlying neural mechanisms of cognition and behavior. It is a technique that measures a subject's EEG signal, processes it in real time, with the goal to enable a behavioral modification by modulating brain activity.
The most common application of the NF technology is in epilepsies, migraine, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, affective disorders, concussions/TBI, dementia and other cognitive decline issues, and psychotic disorders. NF can also be used as a preventative modality and can be beneficial for everyday issues surrounding stress, energy levels/fatigue, aches and pains, etc.
Brain Mapping is important for people to have done prior to an injury or illness. It can be used as a marker to give a person a baseline as to their brain function. This can be very helpful for a person in the event of future trauma, illnesses, etc.

Detoxification
Protocols
We also know that a proper detoxification protocol is a huge part of regaining and maintaining your health. Environmental toxins are ubiquitous in todays world. They are all around us in our foods, water, air, household and personal products, etc. Toxins create cellular dysfunction and inflammation. The body has a threshold for the toxic burden it can handle. Once that amount is exceeded, and it's different for everyone, the result is often a diagnosis of dis-ease.
We offer highly effective, advanced protocols that will facilitate real change and healing at the deepest levels necessary to feel well again and maintain optimal health... this is not your typical 10 day "cleanse"! These protocols can be done remotely from anywhere you live. Please see our "But First, Detox" tab for more detailed information.
Heavy metals and environmental toxins are often the root cause of illness and symptoms. Detoxification of these substances and repairing the cells are imperative to healing.
Pricing can vary depending on individual needs, lifestyle factors and levels of toxicity, duration needed on protocol, etc.
3 month basic TCD protocol (includes all supplements and 3 months of basic coaching): $1,800
Parasite Bio/Mycotoxin Cleanse
Parasites living within our bodies can also be a root cause factor of many illnesses and can further wreak havoc in the presence of heavy metals, environmental toxins, and viruses (mold, candida, lyme, etc.).
Parasites are the HIDDEN DISEASE, they can occur ANYWHERE in the body, in EVERY organ, in ALL tissues, and in the blood. Parasites can cause problems that mimic other disorders and are not properly diagnosed as being parasite related. Further, diagnoses of parasites can be difficult to do with lab tests and false negatives are common.
Not only do parasites cause harm by taking nutrients away from their host, they also produce toxic waste (from their excrement and death cycles) that affects the human body including the central nervous system. For example: Parasite urine is pure ammonia!
There are four classifications of parasites. 30% live in our digestive systems while the other 70% live all over our bodies including, the blood, and all organs including the brain and even in our eyes and sinus cavities. There are over 1,000 types of parasites in these four classes that can live in the human body.
BACTERIA, VIRUSES (Lyme, EBV) and FUNGUS (mold, yeasts) are ALL in the very broad parasite category.
70% of all parasites that can live in the human body are MICROSCOPIC - only 30% are visible to the naked eye.
Malaria is a microscopic infection. The "worm" parasites can range from ¼ inch to 33 feet long!
We implement a trusted protocol using high quality herbs, supplements and binders from CellCore Biosciences.
The typical duration for parasite cleanse is 90-120 days. Many parasites have a 2 week replication cycle, therefore it is imperative to continue the cleanse for several months in order to interrupt each cycle of new larva. For maximum efficacy you should be consistent and persistent with this protocol in order to eliminate the various types of harmful parasites in the body.
Pricing will vary depending on the individuals specific needs and specific protocol.
