What is Functional Medicine
​
Functional Medicine incorporates the latest in genetic science, systems biology, and understanding of how environmental and lifestyle factors influence the emergence and progression of disease.
​
Your Functional Medicine Practitioner will work closely with you as you make the needed changes in your lifestyle to restore your health. Food, exercise, sleep, stress reduction and other lifestyle adjustments are the medicine of the future -- and the future is now.

Easy, compassionate tips for slowly adding healthier choices into your daily habits. From food choices, exercise tips and mindfulness techniques to ideas on amplifying meaning and contentment in your life.
Lifestyle change is best approached through collaboration with a trusted ally
​
“The reality is that doctors often don’t have the time to guide patients in how to implement these changes, a process typically consisting of finding motivation, setting realistic goals, and planning for overcoming obstacles. That’s where health coaches come in, as they’re uniquely suited to partner with individuals on their journey towards optimal wellness,”
Sandra Scheinbaum. - Founder of The Functional Medicine Coaching Academy

Lifestyle Change is the Medicine of the Future
Getting Started!
1 Gathering Your History
Your Foundational Sessions will be a gathering of your health history, and the significant childhood illnesses and events that shaped your life. We will investigate how past illness, trauma, accidents, losses, as well as triumphs and joys contributed to where you are today with your health and lifestyle habits. Often times the symptoms and challenges that you face today have been built over your life time.
2 Realizing Your Goals
Where is your life headed? Are you going in the direction that inspires you? Are you content with how much energy you have? Are you managing stress well? Are you sleeping deeply and waking feeling rested? Do you have pain and stiffness? How is your mental, physical and emotional health affecting your day to day life?
3 Building A Plan
When we discover your history, and find your character strengths, we will build a plan that is personalized for you. We will play on your strengths to neutralize your obstacles.
-
Are you an emotional eater?
-
Is your blood sugar too high or too low?
-
Are you holding visceral fat around your belly?
-
Do you live with frequent pain?
-
Do you have brain fog?
-
Do you suffer from insomnia?
-
Do you have frequent headaches?
There are many ways to work with some of our biggest obstacles, and ingrained habits. We will find what works for you. Where do you want to be in 6 weeks, 5 months or
a year from now? Imagine your best self, and we will get you there.

Support and Inspiration
The human experience is complex. It takes years to slip into the places we’d rather not be. All aspects of being human will be supported in your Functional Medicine Restoration Project. Your Body, Mind, and Spirit can be met, nurtured and transformed. Here are a few additional services I offer to support your return to health:
1 Pantry Make Overs
Are there foods in your kitchen that are tempting you into a slide-back? Lets remove them, organize your cooking space and make it easier for you to stick to your new plan! I will come with boxes to take the old food away in. Additional organizing may take a second trip but we will get you ready to start your new plan. You will also receive shopping lists, recipes and support to get you started.
Pantry Make over: $50.00 per hour
2 Exercise Buddy
If we live near each other, I can meet you in the park, at the gym or in your neighborhood. We can find some hills to walk up, or hit the grass for some core work and stretching. A bike ride maybe? Personalized yoga class? If we don’t live near each other, no worries there are lots of other ways.
Exercise Buddy: $50.00 per hour
3 Meditation Coaching
Think you can’t meditate? Through Heart Centered Meditation Techniques you may find it far easier than you once thought. We can tack on a 15 minute meditation after an exercise session, or coaching session, or we can focus totally on calming your nervous system for a full hour. Breath work, mantra and gentle yoga, are all in my tool box for you, and I’d love to help you with this. Group sessions also available! Meditation Coaching Sliding Scale depending on needs: $25.00-50.00 per hour
