what is a health counselor?
Doctors don’t always have the time to get to the root of your diet and health concerns. This, combined with the fact that nutrition is the only science that can have opposing theories – each able to be proven right. No wonder we’re confused about what to eat!
Health Counselors (or health coaches) are a growing tier of health professionals trained to get to the heart of your health concerns, provide ongoing support and help navigate the world of contradictory nutrition advice to determine what changes are necessary for you.
Health counselors are helping people reach their goals, reducing the need for prescription drugs and preventing disease.

My counseling approach and training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, is centered around looking at life holistically – not pushing a specific diet or eating philosophy.
Everyone knows what they “should” be eating. What most people don’t explore is how the rest of life affects food choices – when your career, relationship and activities are fulfilling, chances are, you’re not reaching for sugar, caffeine and fast food to get through the day.
I also specialize in cultivating creativity… finding your unique voice, path and passion that leads to a life better than you’ve ever imagined.
What diet and lifestyle works for one, might not work for another.
