It’s been a long while since I’ve talked about health coaching. \u00a0I feel like for some they may think this is coming right out of left field and the truth is that I’ve been a health coach for several years.<\/p>\n

This blog originally started out as a place to share recipes and discuss my journey (and also my husband’s) towards better health and nutrition. Because I fully believe that we can heal ourselves with the foods that we choose to eat, I pursued schooling to become a health coach. \u00a0I took on clients and\u00a0I helped people get back in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

A lot happened in 2012, this was a big year for us and I was feeling all out of sorts. \u00a0I was struggling with running, struggling with a new dog that has a lot of baggage (Oh Avery, he’s a special guy.), and struggling finding my place.<\/p>\n

I feel off the wagon. \u00a0It happens. \u00a0I have a feeling that almost everyone goes through something like that at some point in their lives. \u00a0Because I was struggling, I felt like I could not be in a position to help others so my coaching dropped off.<\/p>\n

I went from being a super active and fit half-marathoner to not. \u00a0I was in a state where I was just existing and not really living life.<\/p>\n

\"Quote\"<\/a><\/p>\n

December of 2014 was a wake up call for me. \u00a0I was tired of not sleeping well, tired of feeling like shit, and tired of making excuses to not workout.<\/p>\n

I got my ass in gear. \u00a0Just like that.<\/p>\n

Now I exercise almost daily, I eat well, and I feel 100 times\u00a0better and more confident that I did.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t have done this without support though. \u00a0Support is key. \u00a0This made me realize that I’m sure there are others going through the same thing and who are looking for support. \u00a0Change is hard and we can’t always do it alone.<\/p>\n

So here I am back on track and back to doing what I feel is important.\u00a0Back to doing what I’m meant to be doing, helping to support and build others up.<\/p>\n

Being a health coach isn’t just something I’m all of the sudden tossing out there. \u00a0It’s about me getting back to me and therefore helping others be the best they can be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
