ABOUT MY PRACTICE
My Coaching Specialty is: sugar addiction, gut health, full body detox, life transformation, nutritional eating plans
My typical client is: anyone sick and tired of being sick and tired; anyone who loves to eat and are not eating the foods that love them back.
What my clients love about my program: it meets them were they are and lasts a lifetime. I practice what I preach and my style is very empowering . They learn how to be successful on their own terms, from the food they eat to the lifestyle they choose.
My favorite juicy question to ask my clients is: Do you feel you are living a healthy lifestyle?
The top three results my clients get from working with me are:
-
They learn to enjoy and prepare whole foods like fruits and vegetables that they've never eaten before
-
They gain energy, strength, and lose weight
-
They develop a new understanding of the healing power of natural foods and develop a greater purpose to eat to live
In addition to one-on-one counseling, I also:
-
Am a motivational speaker
-
Host webinars and annual retreats
-
Conduct health food store tours teaching how to read labels and purchase healthy foods
-
Offer cooking classes, food preserving classes, gardening classes, and herbal preparations classes
Why I changed careers: I have many talents and skills, but I discovered that my passion is for healthy living. Healthy living changed me and my family. I believe it is my calling and purpose. This is my main reason for starting my business, "Roots To Happiness" to share my knowledge and experiences with anyone seeking to enjoy being healthy and well.
What I love about what I do: I get to do something new everyday, be creative, be rewarded by seeing someone heal themselves with healthy choices. I don't have to sell a lie or a dream. I get to live and work with integrity, truth, and purpose.
The message I want to get out: God created man's food and medicine before He created man. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to show you that eating whole foods will provide nutrition and healing to your body. We perish because of lack of knowledge and obedience. I plan to make sure that everyone I come in contact understands that we have to change the habits that eventually lead to living sick and unhappy.
My greatest success so far: leaving the stability and financial security of a corporate job to follow my passion, and building a successful private practice in just ten months.
