Clarity

Poor health and chronic disease are forms of being stuck, and focusing solely on physical symptoms rarely leads to recovery. Coaching works by creating a mindset that allows change as well as taking highly practical lifestyle steps.
There's a TON of conflicting information out there. This alone can lead to overwhelm and stagnancy. But there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Coaching helps you discover your own best choices and practices.

Freedom

Meet life's obstacles without sacrificing your health. Coaching helps you avoid falling into old patterns and habits when you come up against the inevitable bumps in the road. 
​Expand your resilience and inner resources. You're more effective than you know. Learn to recognize multiple ways you cope well and put these to work intentionally to increase wellness. 

Well-being

Your improved health benefits the people in your world and this ripple effect is powerful. Many of us want to be a support and role model to others, and actions speak louder than words. ​
Clarify your vision of wellness and move toward the potential you see in yourself. ​Wherever you are now is the perfect place to start. The coaching process is about YOU-- which makes it interesting and satisfying!

Comments from those I've helped...

"I had been on a popular extreme diet plan for over seven months and ended up with abundant hair loss and extreme fatigue. After a rapid weight loss of 75 pounds, I started struggling with uncontrollable binge eating which eventually led to a 50 pound regain. Irene helped me examine why my health was deteriorating, why I was binging, and how to shift to healthy, sane eating that works for me, and to slow, sustainable weight loss. I am feeling so much stronger emotionally and physically but I still check-in with her occasionally if I need support. She helps me reframe setbacks in a positive, accepting light and carry on!" (Boots, 55)
"I really enjoy working with Irene. She has such a warm and calming presence. I've made so much progress already! She's helped me create a plan to stay focused and on track with my health goals, as well as not let my anxieties get the best of me, which is a big issue for me. (Ann, 51)"
"There have been times when I have been too overbearing and controlling with my approach to health and the stress didn't help me or my family, it made things worse. You helped me to see that and change, making everything easier. I’ve learned to be disciplined but not as rigid. " (Jacey, 56)
"You have a genuinely calming nature. You are easy to talk to and share ideas with. You are a great listener and problem solver. You can help shift my bad mood, or me feeling down on myself, into a reassuring feeling. Best of all, working with you, I remembered how well I used to do with my diet and exercise and how to get back to doing that." (Pam, 54)
"Irene is so knowledgeable- plus she deeply listens from her heart and is accepting, trustworthy and completely safe. She can go as deep or wide as you need and will support you with a buoyancy, never pressure." (Rhyena, 59)
"I sought out a Health Coach to help improve my overall energy and stress management during a hectic phase of life. Recently, I had moved to a new city and was balancing out working full time and an online certification program. Multi-tasking has always been overwhelming to me and moves my own self-care down on the priority scale. For the first time in a while I stopped exercising and had an extremely difficult time waking up in the mornings. Having a coach empowered me to get more organized, manage my time, and reframe my mindset to a new perspective on life. Irene is a great listener and leads an inspiring session that takes you by surprise. After the first month of working together I was back to prepping my meals and doing hot yoga twice a week."
