Weight Loss And Emotional Eating Coaching
I'm in the business of shining
stars! I help you reconnect with your inner light, so you can truly
shine.
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then I have the
solution!
My work is to help you get off the dieting roller coaster, so that
you may break free of your emotional eating patterns. I help you
find new
ways of being in the world that support your spiritual, mental,
emotional and
physical health. Emotional eating is the number one cause of obesity. Emotional
eating is any eating that is done other than to satisfy hunger. It is
the reason why
diet
and exercise programs continually fail. My philosophy is simple: We are all born whole, perfect and
complete. You have all that you
need inside of you. It has always been there, waiting for you to find
it. It is your divine birthright. My work is to teach you the skills to
reconnect to this
place of
wisdom. This becomes the pathway back home to your Thinner Self. I am simply a guide, lighting the
path for you to find your way back into your natural
state of joy and balance. The goal of my coaching is to create a lighter, balanced, healthier, nourishing and joy-filled life. You will begin to see results in all areas of your life because How You Do Food Is How You Do Life! I coach and mentor people in the areas of: permanent weight
loss, food addiction,
compulsive, emotional overeating, binge eating recovery,
authentic, creative self expression, life direction, mindfulness, meditation, self care and stress
management, self
esteem and
body image issues. One on one coaching can make a big
difference
in getting and keeping you on track to meet your
weight loss, fitness, and life goals. Many people need the personal
support to keep accountable and on track. Sometimes just a few sessions
can make a
big difference in your level of
motivation and focus. A recent study led by researchers at Duke University Medical Center
and published in The Journal Of The American Medical Association in
March 2008 showed that the people who lost the most weight and
successfully kept it off have had regular contact with a weight loss
counselor. The beauty of my coaching is that it is tailored to
your individual needs. You are not given a "cookie cutter" commercial program, nor are you prescribed a certain diet. You are given tools and support
that are appropriate to your lifestyle, personality
type, life stage and
needs. My methods also work with and complement any weight management plan you may be currently following.

Here are some of the goals and benefits of my coaching:
If you are in need of some inspiration, support, motivation, accountability, food
for thought, and healing energy, schedule an individual phone or in
person
session with
me. I offer individual phone sessions as well as in person and phone
coaching packages, and
email coaching. For my telephone and international clients I offer free
long distance
on the internet using SKYPE. This requires you to download SKYPE as
well. It is a free and simple download. It does require a microphone or
headset. Coaching is not psychotherapy
and it is not intended to take it's place. I do not
dispense medical advice. Please consult your doctor before embarking on
a fitness and weight loss program. Coaching Packages A coaching package consists of 6 half hour or one hour weekly
coaching calls or in person sessions.
Package includes full
email support. Client is responsible for any long distance charges
incurred. I provide materials customized for your particular needs.
Coaching
program includes techniques and exercises that are derived from
my program
The
Weight
Loss Master's
Club.
I accept payment through Paypal which accepts all major credit cards
and allows you to pay through a checking account as well. You may also
pay me by check or money order. How I Work: Only one who has come out of the darkness can lead another to the light. When people come to me to with food and or weight issues it quickly becomes apparent to them that these are only symptoms. The larger issue is one of separation: a separation of the mind, body and spirit. Optimal health and fitness requires the mind and spirit to be as fit as the body. When I work with another, whether in person or on the phone, I create a safe, supportive sanctuary for the healing to begin. There is no judgement or criticism, just an acceptance of where you are at in the moment. My intuitive and warm presence acts as a mirror so that you can discover where you are presently blocking your own light and growth. I have a large toolbox of practical skills to tune mind, body and spirit, so that you can get the results you are looking for. It is in the practice of these skills that knowledge becomes wisdom. What People Say: Client Testimonials Why Coaching Works If you have repeatedly lost weight and regained it or have failed to
lose it in the first place, it may be time to admit defeat and get some
help and learn some new ways of coping with life. Coaching can make the
difference between success and failure. The reason it works is it
provides support, encouragement, structure, and accountability while
teaching you some new life skills and coping tools. Many of us when left to our own
devices soon lapse back into old unhealthy behaviors. Kaiser Permanente recently released the results of a health research
study, in the April edition of Journal Of Consulting and Clinical
Psychology, which offers new hope for binge and emotional eaters. This
study showed that 63% of the people who were offered a 12 week "guided
self-help" program that included eight sessions with a weight loss
coach/health educator, (not a therapist), were able to quit bingeing
within 6
months, as compared to 27%
who were offered the usual care. This study validates and supports the way I work with my clients
with binge and emotional eating issues. I also offer 8-12 week sessions
and my program is
"guided self-help" as well. Clients are given weekly self care
assignments and
exercises to complete, food and mood journals, and learn to identify
their eating triggers and then meet with me to discuss the results and
get support. I also offer additional email support between visits.
Note: I am not affiliated with Kaiser Permanente in any way. This study is great news for people who cannot afford expensive
eating disorder programs or sessions with a therapist. It shows that
with the right support and tools, emotional and binge eating can be
cured. As a former binge eater, I am living proof of this! To read more

To benefit from the coaching process you need to be ready and
willing to do
something different. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again
expecting different results! You must be willing to stretch beyond your
comfort zone as you learn new
ways of being. You will need to learn to suspend your self criticisms and judgements and allow yourself the time and patience to sprout new wings. Change is much easier in a state of self-acceptance. Mistakes are a crucial part of the learning process. You must be open and willing to take gentle direction from a person who has been there. The crucial step required is action. Without your total commitment to practice these skills in your life, you will not be successful. The greatest investment you will ever make is the one you make in yourself!
