What is Health Coaching?

Certified Health Coaches are credentialed members of the healthcare industry who have additional training in the science of health behavior change. Health coaches add coaching skills to their health care expertise to help individuals better manage a variety of chronic medical conditions, such as: metabolic syndrome, diabetes, alcohol use disorder and chronic pain.

A Health Coach is a partner in an individual's behavior change process. This process involves supporting the individual or client as they set goals, unearth values & strengths, and access intrinsic motivations to encourage the development of sustainable healthy behaviors and attitudes.

My story.

We met 23 years ago, but I didn’t meet the “real you” until 10 years ago. You were the only constant in my story, until now.  In the infancy of our friendship you were everything I was looking for. You were quiet, unassuming, holding space in my moments of need. Offering me calm when life seemed unimaginable, a quiet companion when loneliness was ever present, a reassuring gift when fear was threatening to consume me. In the first 10 years of our friendship, you embodied all the rewards you promised. 

If someone would’ve told me that I would choose to say goodbye to you, I would struggle to imagine how we could survive apart or why we could not find a place of healthy coexistence. 

There was a place in time where your docile nature was a gift in my turmoil, however, you slowly and steadily began to break me down. Your promises fading into the darkness that suddenly felt loud in a quiet world, and our unspoken agreement to bring out the best in each other was compromised. Where support once stood was now a gaping crevasse of fear. You became overbearing and stifling. Heaviness of our broken relationship, spilling through the cracks of my soul. What started as mine, became yours.

I remember exactly where I was standing, what I was wearing, the smell in the air when I realized that not only did I need to walk away from you, but that I had to. I could not consciously wait for you to break me. So I closed the door on two decades of this dance. Each sip from your well was pulling me further from my intentions in life, I was living in your shadow. 

I am now over a year sober, and empowered to help other find balance in their lives through removing alcohol. Join me.
