Nutrition
Nutrition is the first and most important area of focus that we will work on. Food fuels our bodies, and knowing how to fuel our bodies well directly impacts the quality of our health, fitness, and every other area of our lives. Regardless of what your goals are, understanding how to feed yourself well and having a positive and healthy relationship with food is a necessary foundation. In our work together, you will receive a personalized macronutrient plan that can be adjusted as you progress.
Movement
Movement is essential. This is true whether you are pregnant and want to learn what exercises are safe for you and baby, have weight loss or physique goals, or are trying to move toward a healthier lifestyle. I always encourage weight lifting because of its numerous benefits for both body and mind. But there are other options such as yoga, walking, HIIT training, or hiking. I will help you find your best and most realistic starting point, or you can continue your current preferred form of exercise.
Sleep
Like nutrition, sleep affects everything. We will look at your sleep hygiene, routines, and environment to identify ways to incorporate new habits that lead not only to more sleep, but better sleep.
Stress Management
What fills you up? What calms you? How can you reduce, remove, or respond to stress in your life? These are the kinds of questions we will discuss in regard to stress management. There is no way to remove all stress from our lives. In fact, certain stressors can lead us to growth. We will search for negative stressors that you can remove and work to find the best ways to respond to the ones you can’t.
Rest and Recovery
Whether it be stretching after a workout, or just taking the day to relax and do something you love with the people you love, rest and recovery are so important. If you struggle with this, we can discuss ways to incorporate this necessary component into your daily life.
