Frequently Asked Questions

Holistic nutrition coaching is a personalized approach to health that focuses on nourishing your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods while considering your unique lifestyle, goals, and health challenges. Unlike conventional nutrition advice, which may focus on calories or macronutrients, holistic nutrition takes a whole-body approach, addressing physical, emotional, and mental well-being. My goal is to empower you to make lasting changes through balanced eating, education, and personalized support.

In our one-on-one sessions, we'll start by exploring your current eating habits, health concerns, and personal goals. I'll work with you to create a nutrition plan tailored to your needs, focusing on nourishing, whole foods that support your overall health. Together, we may also discuss how natural supplements can complement your diet, filling in gaps or supporting specific health concerns. The coaching process involves education, guidance, and ongoing support to help you make informed, sustainable choices.

While food should always be your primary source of nutrients, natural supplements can play an important role in optimizing health, especially when certain nutrient gaps exist or specific health concerns need support. Supplements are never meant to replace whole foods, but they can be beneficial for filling nutritional gaps, boosting energy, supporting digestion, or enhancing immunity. I’ll help you navigate which supplements, if any, might benefit you based on your individual health needs.

It’s important to consult with both your healthcare provider and me about any potential interactions between your current medications and supplements. Many people can safely use natural supplements alongside their prescription medications, but some supplements may affect medication absorption or efficacy. I’ll work with you to ensure your nutrition plan and any supplements you take are safe and complementary to your current medical treatments.

The timeline for results can vary depending on your individual health goals, current habits, and any specific health issues you're addressing. Some people may experience noticeable changes in energy, digestion, or mood within a few weeks, while others may take longer to see more significant improvements, especially when addressing chronic health concerns. Together, we’ll set realistic goals and work towards long-term, sustainable results that focus on overall health and well-being.

Yes! Holistic nutrition coaching can absolutely support healthy weight loss. Rather than focusing on fad diets or quick fixes, I help you make long-term, sustainable changes to your eating habits, focusing on nutrient-dense, whole foods that fuel your body and promote balance. We’ll explore any underlying issues that may be affecting your weight, such as stress, poor digestion, or hormonal imbalances, and address them in a holistic way.

Yes! Holistic nutrition coaching can be beneficial for people of all ages, from children to older adults. Nutrition needs change throughout life, and I’m committed to tailoring my approach to your specific life stage, health concerns, and dietary preferences. Whether you're looking to support a growing child’s nutrition, manage the challenges of aging, or simply improve your overall health, I’ll provide guidance that suits your unique situation.

Conventional nutrition often focuses on calories, macronutrients (carbs, fats, proteins), and weight management. Holistic nutrition, on the other hand, looks at the bigger picture of health, addressing the body's nutritional needs while considering emotional, mental, and environmental factors. The goal is not just to "eat right" for weight loss or disease prevention, but to nourish your body in a way that supports optimal health, healing, and vitality.

No, I don't believe in “one-size-fits-all” diets. Your nutrition plan will be entirely personalized to fit your unique lifestyle, preferences, and goals. I don’t recommend restrictive diets or quick-fix solutions. Instead, I’ll help you develop a balanced, sustainable approach to eating that nourishes your body and supports your long-term health goals. We'll focus on food that works for you—not against you!

Getting started is simple! Reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation where we’ll discuss your health goals, challenges, and how holistic nutrition coaching can support you.

Whether you’re looking to manage a chronic condition, boost your energy, or improve your overall wellness, I’m here to help you take the next step toward a healthier, more vibrant life.

A typical holistic nutrition coaching session lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. During this time, we’ll discuss your progress, explore any challenges you're facing, and refine your nutrition plan as needed. I’ll take the time to listen to your concerns and provide education, support, and practical tools to help you achieve your goals. Longer sessions may be available depending on your needs.
