Humanist Coaching

I have been teaching adults for over 20 years, and after several years of self-guided research into nutrition, brain science and the psychology behind habit change, I finally got to the root of my own issues with chronic backpain and fatigue, overeating and body shame. I realized that so many people are still suffering with this and don't need to be. I was compelled to share what I've learned in my own journey, so I got certified as a health and life coach and started Humanist Coaching.

Most health coaches give you a list of rules, eat this not that, do this not that, schedules, food plans and all kinds of generic advice. For women who struggle with disordered eating, if this approach worked, it would have worked already. It doesn’t work because chronic overeating is not about food and exercise, it’s about our inability to cope with the stresses of being human. We find answers by looking within not by relying on others to tell us what to do.

Humanist mind-body coaching is about noticing thoughts and transforming beliefs so that we can change our habits in a whole new way that is driven by emotion. The work rests on the essential foundations for managing stress: awareness, self-compassion, nourishment, presence, thinking on purpose, empowered action and accountability. I have personal experience learning about the transformational power of this work, so what you get with me is expertise on what's effective. My clients get great results that they are thrilled with - and we have a lot of fun along the way!

Humanist Coaching is an online coaching service with all course material and workshops held online, so communications and information will be offered via the internet, or on occasion the phone. This facilitates scheduling and commuting for both client and coach. If there is ever an internet issue, postponement of the session will be arranged.
