Testimonials
"Kelly helped me change my focus from losing weight to being healthy. By doing that I now love the way I feel and think about food. My energy level has skyrocketed. I no longer have a love-hate relationship with food. An added bonus is I've lost weight without trying. The tools, information and knowledge Kelly has shared with me have been invaluable and life-changing. I'm excited about my choices and sharing the things I've learned from Kelly’s weight loss group and nutritional counseling."
"Kelly is a total professional – organized and knowledgeable. You get the strong sense that she is living what she teaches. Wellness coach is the perfect description of who she is. It's not just about food. It's about bringing your whole life into balance. I understand that so much better now than I did before.
I loved working with Kelly. It was so encouraging to work with someone who really seemed invested in my success. I came to Kelly to improve my diet and I feel like I got so much more. I worked with her for only a short time, but know I will continue folding into my life what I’ve learned for a long time."
My Approach
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness. Holistic health is about getting to the root cause of a health issue rather than covering up symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs or other quick fixes. When we mask the symptoms and take a quick fix approach, the root problem is never resolved and true healing doesn't occur.
Amazingly our bodies can heal themselves when given the right tools like proper nutrition, exercise, supplements, appropriate sleep and reduced stress, and when we give our body the time it needs to heal. I think many of us forget about how powerful the human body really is. It took me over a decade to come to this realization and that's when my body was able to finally heal itself from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
My training, education and personal health challenges have provided me with a deep understanding and appreciation for taking an individualized holistic approach with my clients. I recognize that the road to achieving optimal health is different for everyone. Each of us has unique nutritional needs, food sensitivities, and a way of eating that allows our body to thrive.
My approach to weight loss is unique and effective because we not only focus on nutrition, but also address the obstacles that are preventing you from reaching your ideal weight and keeping it off. We look at how you may be getting in your own way from achieving successful long-term weight loss.
I acknowledge that it's not just one thing that is preventing you from losing weight and feeling your best. There are many facets that affect our health. When we examine the whole person; mind, body and spirit then we can uncover the blocks and work together to remove them.
I will teach you how to be more in tune with your own body's messages and signals, allowing you to move away from your reliance on willpower and into weight loss that is natural and effortless.
You will learn a sustainable way of eating that doesn't rely on counting calories, weighing or measuring food, or eating pre-packaged diet foods. I hold a deep respect and appreciation for the innate intelligence of our bodies and embrace the power of our body's wisdom.
I offer you the guidance needed to achieve your personal weight loss goals. I am your cheerleader and will hold your hand and say, "you can do it". I'm someone to hold you accountable and help you figure out what works best for you.
I'm here to give you the support you deserve to live your life to the fullest. Ultimately, my goal is to empower you to develop a healthy relationship with food and become the healthiest person you are meant to be.
