Holistic Human Community - HHC

While your doctor or nurse practitioner want you to thrive, sadly they don’t have time to help. Other dedicated professionals are well-trained to zoom in on one area such as fitness, nutrition, or weight. However, they don’t always zoom out first to understand and navigate the complex web of your life complicating your pursuit of good health goals.

Over 200 scientific studies have proven that we can't improve health when we are in a stressed-out state. Instead, its been shown that cultivating a thriving mind is necessary to attain a healthy body. Combining a whole-life focus with scientifically validated techniques to change your state of mind is what a wellness coach can do for you. In conjunction with a traditional health assessment – you will also undergo a life assessment.

The Fundamental Nourishment Wheel you see in the picture above is an example of this whole-life focus. You will see that it contains 12 sections, one section represents each fundamental aspect of life that makes you human - and is essential for optimal health.

A spiritual practice, a desired career, regular physical activity and healthy relationships fill your soul and satisfy your hunger for living. When these aspects of the wheel are balanced and fulfilled, the fun, excitement and passion of your daily life feed you, making what you eat secondary.

You and I as your wellness coach, will baseline your satisfaction with each of these primary aspects of life at the beginning of our program. You will choose one, two, but no more than three areas you feel need improvement at the start of the program and we will revisit your progress regularly.

You are an individual, both mentally and biologically, and only you will be able to decide how to best integrate the wellness coaching into your life. Tools such as a daily journal, to include morning intentions, evening reflections, weekly check ins, guided exercises are provided, both in hard copy or online – which ever is preferred, as well as a 21 day guided meditation program, and many optional natural solutions to help crowd out bad habbits.

You will get to create a personal vision for yourself, and I will hold you accountable. I will encourage you to stretch your expectations and empower you with direction and purpose. You will expand your mind through exercises in gratitude, and over the 6 month program, learn strategies to transform your lifestyle so that you become your own wellness coach.

While we are working on the primary aspects of your life, we will also be focusing on integrating improved nutrition and reducing the toxic load in your life and on/in your body.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term ‘toxic load’ this is the term that mean the level of poisonous chemicals inside your body introduced by the environment, processed food, medication, soaps, lotions, and in general modern life. The toxic load is also sometimes referred to as ‘body burden’ and is a huge stressor to the immune system, as well as all of your other bodily systems and even your mental state.

Over the course of the 6 month program we will work to ‘crowd out’ one item at a time – you will decide which item you want to replace. So for example, instead of drinking that soda in the morning, we will work on finding an alternative that still meets the need of the craving, but provides a healthier outcome – such as a cold glass of water with a drop of wild orange oil.

I’ve partnered with several reputable companies to provide microbial DNA tests, whole food based supplements, meal replacements, and pain relievers, as well as essential oils to provide alternatives to grabbing fast food on the go, muscle creams, synthetic deodorants, cleaning products etc. These will be made available to you at an additional charge, but by no means a requirement of the wellness coaching package.
