Personalized Health Counseling Programs

Like many of us you have probably tried a variety of diets, and may have even managed to do well for a period of time with these strict guidelines.  The emphasis is often deprivation and denial both of which are unnecessary and counter-productive for long term health.

Cathy's approach emphasizes a practical, individualized program that takes into account where you currently are beginning, your health history and lifestyle.  She will help you create a plan that works for the long term and is joyful.

Your program includes:

• Setting goals & taking consistent action
• Understanding & controlling cravings
• Incorporating simple lifestyle changes
• Being healthy on the road and on the go
• Making better food choices at home and at work
• Creating lasting balance
• Learning self-care techniques
• Gaining knowledge & ease in cooking whole foods
• Awareness when eating and in life
• Menu planning & budgeting
• Most importantly, enjoying the process!

Individual personalized 6 month program:

• Two, one hour sessions per month, either in person or over the phone.  Sessions include discussion of your progress, notes, recommendations and action plans
• A variety of hand outs, recipes, books, tapes, foods and other materials
• Monthly group cooking classes, a healthy shopping tour and other events
• Monthly email newsletter
• Access to an extensive lending library of books, audio recordings and articles relating to health and well being
• Food samples and self-care products
• Unlimited email coaching in-between sessions to support you through your process

Cathy individualizes a program for each client, this is not a one size fit's all approach. I have learned new cookiing techniques, how to use new ingredients, herbs and spices and she made cooking, FUN!  I have really seen results in my health, I lost almost 20 pounds, have been able to cut my blood pressure medication in half and my cholesterol levels are significantly lower.  I am excersising and feeling better than I have in a very long time.  You won't fine anyone who is more supportive and wants to see you succeed!- Kathy
