Holistic Health, Nutrition, and Lifestyle Coaching

Here at Joyful Life Wellness (formerly Food Loyal), I work with women from all different stages of life to create balance and fulfillment in ways that are enjoyable and guilt-free. There are a ton of different ways to “get healthy” and you’ve probably tried a handful of them or more. What I do differently is help you effectively reach your personal health goals in ways that are actually fun and totally satisfying!

As a Health Coach, I work with you on nutrition and lifestyle choices that promote long lasting and positive change in your health. I will also help you discover a more energized and passionate life, exploring tools you need for a lifetime of balance. It’s not all about eating kale or broccoli, I promise. You’ll set and accomplish goals, explore new foods, reduce cravings, increase your energy, and improve personal relationships.

A Holistic Approach

I practice with a holistic approach to nutrition, which means that I take a look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect the whole.

No one diet works for everyone

The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has their own nutritional needs. So, when the experts say, “dairy is good for you” or “fat is unhealthy,” it’s too much of a generalization. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets don’t work in the long run. I look at your age, health, activity level, blood type, metabolic rate and personal preferences to determine your dietary needs.

Everything is food

Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual practice are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.

Together, we will set realistic goals & I help you take consistent action steps towards accomplishing them including:

• understanding cravings and dealing with them in a positive manner
• enjoying and simplifying the art of cooking
• planning simple, healthy yet delicious menus
• learning how to eat mindfully
• making simple lifestyle changes to reduce stress
• listening to your body
• getting support from others
• creating lasting balance in your life
• and checking in on all aspects of your life to find balance for your “primary foods”– such as relationships, careers, and spirituality.


Integrative Nutrition Pyramid

The Integrative Nutrition pyramid depicts a balanced approach to nutrition: more high-quality, organic vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, protein and water; less meat, milk, sugar and artificial food. The pyramid is surrounded with the primary food circle, the parts of life that satisfy our hunger for living and create a balanced life.

Let’s get started!

When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve? It’s rare for anyone to get an hour to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. As a health counselor, I am here to create a supportive environment while we explore what really works for you. We will discuss your unique situation in depth and determine how I can help you reach your personal goals. I do both in person and over the phone sessions.
