We know that there are many factors that contribute to the whole health of a person. Nutrition & lifestyle support involves knowing the impact of good nutrition, exercise and stress on health and well-being: we often recommend our nutrition and lifestyle counselling.

Sessions help clients to identify and make any necessary changes in their lives to support their getting well. We look at diet, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices and together explore realistic ways of incorporating these into daily life. Healthy lifestyle changes are often enough to turn around a health condition or disease, and always supports the effectiveness of other treatment.  It’s also very empowering…as clients leave with the ability, knowledge and inspiration to continue making good health decisions.

Whole Health improvement programs

Many clients choose to do our 10 or 21 day programs for full support through these changes. As well as an initial consultation and  plan of action you have access to daily contact through email, texting, phone, to follow your progress. This daily support allows you to:

• Receive clarification on anything.
• Recommend specific tactics to get you through challenges.
• Tweak your plan.
• Receive specific recipes and tips
• Problem solve
• Get moral support and encouragement
• Recommend any specific supplements

These plans have been very beneficial for clients, helping them to:

• Lose weight they have been unable to in years.
• Feel better!
• Experience that healthy eating can be easy and delicious.
• Develop greater awareness about what nourishes body mind and spirit.
• Gain knowledge, ability and inspiration to continue making healthy choices.

“Before embarking on the 21 day program, I was pretty nervous. I wasn’t sure what to expect, or how my body would respond to the new diet, both physically and emotionally. Katharine was kind, encouraging, and never once judged me. Being honest was what got me through the 21 days. She was constantly coming up with suggestions that helped me meal plan, curb cravings, and increase exercise.

During the 21 days I lost 10 pounds, gained an abundance of information on healthy eating, increased my exercise, and have a new appreciation and love for cooking.  It’s very rewarding to cook foods that are good for your body. My husband even got on board, did the diet with me and said “One of the joys in my life is your new way of cooking”…which he never would have said before.

I know my body so much better now. I know what foods affect it positively and negatively, and can make smart and educated choices based on that. I also feel like I have the tools to curb my cravings by using exercise and the tapping method.

Don’t say you don’t like green smoothies until you try them. Eating them everyday for 21 days will make you love them!!!! I didn’t like them at all when I started the program, but now I love them and have them every morning, no matter what!”
