Hi everyone! Being that it's the start of a new year, I know that many of you have resolutions related to health: wanting to lose weight, eat better, be more consistent with your exercise routine, cultivate a more positive mindset, or find ways to be more active in your everyday life. Perhaps you want to incorporate more fruits and veggies into your diet, or transition into a plant-based diet. Whatever your main healthy living goal is, I'd love to chat more with you about it and see if my health coaching program is a good fit for you. I offer free consultations to discuss all of this, and I'm happy to announce that I'm offering a new year discount! If you sign up for my program in the next month, you'll receive $100 off your total program fee. Prices for my 6-month program are ... [Read More]

What Health Coaching is Not + Let’s Talk About Brain Health
Hi there, and Happy Friday! I hope that you all have some awesome plans for the weekend. I have some fun fitness related plans that I'm looking forward to (more on that later)! So guess what? I only have a few more lessons and an exam left at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and then I'll be a certified health and wellness coach! I can't believe how fast this whole year of school has gone. Last weekend IIN had live sessions in NYC, and while I couldn't be there in person (hopefully one day I can make it to a weekend of live lectures!), I was able to live stream some of the weekend's lectures. All I have to say is that this school is full of amazing, inspirational students and teachers. I have just been soaking it all in, and I've truly enjoyed my experience at IIN. In ... [Read More]
An Exciting Health Coaching Announcement!
Hi friends! Today's post topic is fun stuff you guys, so let's get to it! As some of you already know, I became a student at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a certified health coach last January. I had gotten to this point where I had become fully aware of just how passionate I am about healthy living, and I wanted to somehow spend more of my energy in the wellness field. When I heard about IIN, it immediately clicked for me. My intuition told me that the school would be a perfect fit, and without giving it much time or too much thought, I enrolled. Over the course of the year, I've been enthralled in the world of heath coaching. The reality of it is that I've been unofficially counseling my friends and family for years on how they can be healthier and ... [Read More]

My Saturday morning began bright and early with a 4:45 AM wake-up call to get ready for a.... ... [Read More]

IIN Chat: What’s a Health Coach?
Happy Wednesday! I feel like this week is just flying by! I've been super busy, and my work week is short because I'm heading down to San Diego on Friday (more on the exciting reason behind my trip to come soon!). Last night my hubby and I had a rare weekday date night. I had gotten him tickets to see Kings of Leon as a Christmas gift, so we headed into San Jose to see them perform. The concert was a lot of fun! :) Moving along to the topic of today's post, after doing a recap of my first month as a student at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (a second one to come in the near future!), a couple of people asked me to go more in-depth as to what a health coach is. So let's get into it! At IIN, health coaches are believed to be the future of our healthcare system. At ... [Read More]
