There’s quite a bit of anxiety, worry, and stress going around – everyone seems to be feeling it these days in some capacity.
Many people are working from home, or not working at all. Some have children that are home from school indefinitely. Others are separated from family and aren’t sure when they will be able to see them again. And others are worried about elderly family members or their own immediate health.
There’s a lot going on.
As a wellness coach, I’d like to help you through whatever is coming up for you.
Wellness encompasses not only diet and physical well-being but also family, relationships, career, finances, recreations and hobbies, your environment, and your personal growth.
In other words, life. And when we face a crisis of any kind, it can affect all aspects of our life.
We’re all under a lot of stress during this challenging time.
With that in mind, I would like to offer you, dear reader, some coaching.
I will listen deeply, offer empathy, and help you make sense of what’s going on in the world right now.
This coaching session does not have to be about nutrition or autoimmune issues. We can talk about anything that’s on your mind:
- creating new habits in this “new normal” – or maintaining current habits
- work challenges – either working from home or being out of work
- figuring out how to best spend your time with your now at-home children (and still retain your sanity)
- how to cope if you have too much free time, or if you are finding it hard to strike a work-time vs. free-time balance in light of recent changes
- how best to manage stress
- guilty feelings about not having to go work or the gym or maybe cheating on your diet
- feeling ok doing absolutely nothing for a while
- helping you create structure in your life and a plan moving forward – whatever that may mean to you
- help you regain control if you are feeling out of control
- if you are a health care worker, I can offer empathy and support for what you are facing right now.
Above all, I will listen. And listen deeply. And if that is all you need, that is fine too.
If all of this sounds good, I am opening up my schedule to a limited number of $20 Coaching/Listening Sessions for the month of April to those in need. These sessions will be 30 minutes in length and can be done over phone or video chat and are first-come-first-served.
You can learn more about me here and more about what coaching is here.

Feel free to share this offer with those whom you feel may benefit.
Be well, everyone, and I look forward to meeting you.

![In the coming days and weeks, I’ll be sharing some tips and tricks to help you get unstuck - no matter the circumstances of your stuck-ness.
This is the second in a series - if you missed the previous post, see my blog (link in bio).
Here’s the first tip:
Get in touch with your body.
Stop for a moment and check in. Where are you holding tension right now? Some common places we hold tension are:
the jaw
the neck
the gut
the shoulders
Or there might be pain somewhere, like a headache, backache, eyestrain/pain, etc.
I invite you to notice this pain or tension.
Be with it. Breathe into it. Relax into it.
Getting in touch with your body is a brilliant way of not only teaching yourself how to relax but also helps you to be present.
And becoming present creates S P A C E. And within that space there is an opportunity to see what is needed.
So: what is that physical symptom telling you that you need? Don’t overthink this!
SOMEthing usually comes up, like:
I need to rest
I need to let go of [XYZ]
I need to get outside
I need to exercise
I need a good cry (this happens often in real time during my coaching sessions!)
Once that need is met, some things might clear up. You might not get completely unstuck, but there is usually a shift that takes place or a relaxing that happens.
The pic of me is when I just woke up from a nap. I was working and feeling stuck.
I checked in and realized I was freaking exhausted. I needed rest, so closed my eyes for a few minutes before getting back to my computer.
You're not seeing the "before" photo, but trust me: what a difference a few minutes of rest make!
(and my hair always looks better after I sleep on it lol)
One thing to note:
Getting in touch with the physical body might be really REALLY hard for some people.
I invite you to be super gentle, and practice this technique with “nonjudgemental curiosity”, and let me know how it goes!
