Therapeutic PArtnership

When we work together, we enter into a therapeutic partnership; you and I are equal participants. I will guide you as you learn to step into the role of the Hero in your wellness journey.

What I offer as a Functional Nutrition Counselor:

  • Clear Expectations & Mutual Agreements

    Any time we spend together, I will start by outlining what I plan to cover so that we are setting expectations. Additionally, we will always come to an agreement about what your next course of action should be.

  • True but Partial

    As a Functional Nutrition Counselor, I know that each sign, symptom, test, bloodwork, is just a snapshot in time, of your body in that moment. I will gather as much evidence as possible to gain the most impartial picture of “whats going on in there.” The more dots we have to connect, the easier we can see what the picture looks like.

  • I am a Detective

    I am going to ask you the questions that no one else has. We will speak about all aspects of your diet & lifestyle, including but not limited to: your diet, mental health, the mind-body connection, past traumas and even poop! To make the best use of our time, we aim to get to the scar, the signs that event has occurred, versus the wound where things can get deep and heavy.

  • Motivating Factor

    We will work to find the very core of your motivating factor. Knowing what drives you, understanding what reaching your goals will mean for you and how these changes will positively impact your life, are essential to our partnership. These tools help me to make connections for you & allow me to support you when things get hard.

  • Meet you Where you are

    To make sustainable changes that will yield longterm success, you must start where you are. I promise to meet you there, no matter where that may be. I will help you start with small changes that are reasonable, but also push the limit just a bit. This it to show you what you are truly capable of.

  • Serve, not please

    I will make recommendations based on what will serve your overall wellness journey, versus what will please you in the present moment; I will gently be telling you what you need to hear, but you may not want to hear.

Working with me

is about learning to understand which decisions will best serve your Longterm goals.

What i ask of MY clients:

 

I ask that you step into our Therapeutic Partnership with an open mind and open communication. Being up front about what your signs & symptoms are, how they change, the areas where you struggle the most and anything else that may be relevant, allows us to create the most impartial picture of whats going on.

Bring an understanding that there are no quick fixes. If there was one, you would have found it already. Long term damage takes long term repair. Healing is a process of trial and error (yes, there will be error), that requires patience and determination. Often times you may need to embark upon a journey of changing your mindset.

I ask that you bring unwavering commitment to your wellness journey. I expect that if you stray from the path, (which you will, we ALL do) that you be committed to getting back to the path, and continuing to push through and achieve your wellness goals.
