HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN COACHING?

I recently graduated from ITN in May and began coaching clients in July.

WHO DO YOU WORK WITH?

I help people just beginning their health journey to discover their version of healthy. I think it can be very discouraging when people only see one version of health portrayed in media and online.

I feel like the gap is steadily widening between healthy and unhealthy people with healthy people getting healthier and unhealthy people getting unhealthier.

With the ever-changing and evolving science of nutrition, we are creating more and more barriers to entry into living a healthy lifestyle.

People are more confused and frustrated than ever and need someone to help them navigate those first steps into their journey.

I noticed that a lot of coaches were teaching from the place that they are currently in their own lives without remembering how they started and how it felt to be at the beginning of their health journey.

That’s why I developed my Good, Better, Best Approach to wellness. So many people think they need to be “all or nothing” when it comes to health when baby steps are where it’s at!

TELL US YOUR STORY

Like most new moms, I found myself overwhelmed, overweight, and completely confused about nutrition after having my first daughter.

Once I began digging deeper into the science and discovered how food could heal your body and positively affect every single aspect of your life, I was hooked!

Before finding ITN, I started coaching under a Functional Medicine Practitioner and educating people on the benefits of nutrition and lifestyle.

After moving and having to leave that position, I decided I wanted to further my education and start coaching on my own. I am so incredibly passionate about helping people feel their best.

WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST SUCCESSES AS A HEALTH COACH?

While I was studying at ITN, I created a website and began blogging. After reading one of my articles, ITN asked me to start contributing to their blog, which I’ve been doing monthly for four months.

I’m incredibly proud and grateful to be a part of the ITN family any way I can!

Aside from that, I’ve received so much positive feedback just from sharing my personal story.

Having people reach out to me and tell me that I’m inspiring them in some way (from eating more vegetables to being more vulnerable) is such an amazingly gratifying experience.

CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT BEING PART OF THE ITN FAMILY?

I can’t begin to express how much I’ve loved my experience at the Institute of Transformational Nutrition!

Cynthia came to me through a podcast when I was at a low point in my life, and I was immediately drawn to her story.

I had spent many years researching nutrition programs but was never drawn to any. When I heard Cynthia explain ITN’s approach by combining science, psychology, and spirituality, I immediately knew this was the right place for me.

Through my previous years of coaching, I knew that health coaching is so much more than nutrition education.

People can know exactly what to do, but they need to discover the real reason why they aren’t making those healthy choices. They also need to feel supported and that they have a partner through this transition.

WORK WITH SUMMER

As a recent graduate, I am just starting my coaching business!

I am currently working one-on-one with clients while developing my first program: Rewiring Your Default Settings and Building Your Nutritional Foundation. Stay tuned!
