“It’s wonderful you’re interested in making a positive change in your life. Many years ago I did the same thing. When I first started I too sought the help of coaches and trainers, and although I was able to see improvements, after years of consistent effort I was still experiencing some health challenges. Eventually I discovered some excellent teachers in the field of health and clinical fitness/wellness. These practitioners weren’t just fitness oriented. They understood how to work with the whole person. The skills they applied uncovered deeper issues that were at the root of my healing, where previously I was trying to resolve with exercise and diet only. I’m happy to say those health challenges are now behind me. It wasn’t a quick fix, but well worth it! Being a fitness coach myself, I became interested in learning these skills in order to apply them with my own clients. A good understanding of exercise and diet isn’t good enough, not if real change and development is the goal. So, I took the next decade to learn those skills; I trained and certified in a wide array of disciplines (see below). Elements of each of these disciplines, along with exercise and diet prescription, are now part of the arsenal I use every day to help people achieve lasting change.”
