Some people thrive under strict rules and regulations.
Others do not.

As a Mayo Clinic- and National Board-certified health coach, author, speaker, and Forbes columnist, I help freethinkers learn how to build healthy routines without adhering to restrictive diet and fitness plans.
If you’re not a fan of rule-following, you’re in the right place.

A SELF-DIRECTED APPROACH TO POSITIVE CHANGE

The most effective behavioral changes are rooted in pleasure, kindness and respect for our bodies, not control or manipulation.
Your body isn’t the enemy. It’s the most valuable source of information you have.

If you're frustrated with trying to follow "advice" on how to take care of yourself that never seems to help, you get to choose your own path here.
Why? Because it works better than people telling you what to do. It's more fun, too.
I’ve spent twenty years helping people define health on their own terms. Once they know what they need, we work together to create an adaptable, personalized framework for healing so they can get on with enjoying their bodies and lives.
"We don't need to suffer to heal. Wellness can be rooted in relief."
