Holistic Health & Nutrition Counseling

Health Counseling is a groundbreaking and profoundly effective approach to health and nutrition. A health counselor has excellent listening skills, knowledge and understanding of modern food issues, and understands that, with a little support and guidance, each individual possesses and has access to their own blueprint for perfect health and happiness.

A holistic approach to nutrition recognizes that everything we digest in a day is food – food that nourishes us, depletes us, or over-burdens us. Likewise, all of our life experiences, which we digest on a subtle level, either nourish us, deplete us or stress us out! In short, all areas of our life are connected and contribute to the current state of our health and well-being. A health counselor helps you understand how all parts of your life affect the whole.

While conventional dietitians dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, discipline and denial, a health counselor guides their client toward nourishment and a deeply satisfying life. Your health counselor will listen to your health concerns, help you understand your individual needs, and offer strategies and support for achieving a lifetime of balance.

Food changes everything!

There is nothing more intimate than what we take into our bodies. Our food becomes our body's tissues, cells, organs, brain, heart, the senses; the relative vibrance or dullness of these vital functions determines how we feel, how we express ourselves, and how we perceive the world. Imagine what your life would be like if you had clear thinking, vibrant energy and enthusiasm for life every day!

Bio-individuality means that there is no one way of eating or being that will work for everyone. What is deeply nourishing for one person may be devastating and debilitating for another. Together, you and your health counselor will compassionately explore, experiment, listen and respond to your inner intelligence, moving gradually and persistently toward your health and life goals.

The Integrative Nutrition Pyramid

The Integrative Nutrition pyramid depicts a balanced approach to nutrition: more high-quality, organic vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, protein and water; less meat, milk, sugar and artificial food.

The pyramid is surrounded with the primary food circle, the parts of life that satisfy our hunger for living and create a balanced life.
