Holistic Health

What Does It Mean to Approach Health, Holistically?

Holistic health focuses on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. This perspective recognizes that every part of our being is interconnected, and achieving true wellness means nurturing not just our physical health but also our emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. A holistic approach includes looking at lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and relationships, as well as the deeper connection to purpose, self-awareness, and mindfulness.

Holistic remedies have been used for centuries by cultures around the world to promote health and well-being. Ancient practices like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and various Indigenous healing traditions emphasize treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. These approaches focus on balance and harmony, offering natural methods for healing and nourishment. Today, while we have advanced medical systems, there is a growing recognition of the value of holistic health practices in our overall wellness. Health coaching fits into this framework as a supportive resource that encourages healing, replenishing, nourishing, and uplifting individuals. My goal as a Certified Health Coach is to help you cultivate healthy habits and a balanced lifestyle that empowers you to thrive in your everyday life.

By addressing underlying causes and empowering individuals to take charge of their health, holistic health approaches have gained momentum in wellness culture, particularly for their preventative nature and emphasis on balance and harmony in daily life.

The Rise of Health Coaching Over the Last Decade

Over the past decade, health coaching has emerged as a popular and effective tool in the wellness landscape. Initially developed as a way to help individuals meet their health goals, health coaching has expanded significantly to include a range of specialized approaches, from fitness and nutrition to mental well-being and life coaching. The goal of health coaching is to provide personalized support and accountability, helping clients make meaningful lifestyle changes that stick.

In the last five years , health coaching has experienced exponential growth, with research highlighting its effectiveness in improving health outcomes. Studies have shown that individuals working with a health coach are more likely to stick to long-term wellness habits, manage chronic conditions, and improve their mental health. The demand for health coaching has increased as more people seek individualized and holistic approaches to healthcare that move beyond traditional medical models, recognizing the value of preventative care and emotional well-beingcially, this type of coaching has proven to be an invaluable resource as they navigate complex life changes such as aging, hormonal shifts, and stress management. The shift toward preventative and personalized care has shown how health coaching can provide the tools and strategies needed to help women age gracefully while managing their physical and emotional well-being.

Why Holistic Health Coaching Matters for Women

As women age, our bodies experience many changes, particularly related to hormonal health, metabolism, and overall vitality. A holistic health coach can help women navigate these transitions by addressing the unique challenges they face. Holistic coaching focuses on more than just physical health—it helps women develop habits and routines that nourish their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, helping them age with grace and intention.

For women, maintaining balance through life's stages—whether it's motherhood, career transitions, or perimenopause—requires intentional care. With a holistic health coach, women can develop personalized wellness plans that target nutrition, fitness, self-care, and stress resilience, ultimately empowering them to live fully and confidently at every age. Holistic health coaching is also rooted in helping women reconnect with their inner selves, enhancing self-awareness and mindfulness to better manage the challenges that arise as they age.

The focus on sustainable habits, personalized care, and empowerment allows women to maintain their sense of purpose and vitality while reducing feelings of overwhelm or defeat that often come with physical or emotional changes. Whether it's building stronger bones through strength training, learning how to manage stress mindfully, or creating healthy eating habits, holistic health coaching provides women with the tools to thrive in all areas of life.

About My Coaching Business: "Living in Balance"

At "Living in Balance," my approach as a holistic health coach goes beyond surface-level wellness practices. My journey as a health coach practitioner began in 2015, sparked by a passion for whole foods and fitness. Over the years, I’ve expanded my practice to fine-tune specific areas of support, particularly for women who want to prioritize their health as they age gracefully. My business is grounded in the idea that living in balance is an active, conscious pursuit—a lifestyle that we must nurture daily through our choices.

In 2019, I became a certified personal trainer, adding strength coaching to my skill set to help clients build lean muscle, improve functional movement, and foster strong bones—key elements in promoting healthy aging. By 2020, my focus shifted toward coaching women in all areas of self-care, particularly addressing the imbalances that can arise due to lifestyle stressors. I help women with everything from nutrition to movement, but I also work on the emotional and mental aspects of wellness, such as self-love, self-care, and managing stress mindfully.

My coaching style prioritizes personal connection and practical support. Together, we focus on:

Building a functional wellness routine that works for you
Cultivating self-care habits that nurture your body, mind, and spirit
Incorporating strength, mobility, and cardiovascular exercises for healthy aging
Understanding nutrition in a way that fuels your body and lifestyle
Enhancing mental resilience and emotional well-being through mindfulness and meditation

My practice is more than just about managing symptoms or quick fixes. It’s about helping women create sustainable habits, deepen their self-awareness, and live with intention. My aim is to empower you to thrive—to feel balanced, strong, and confident as you continue your wellness journey.

How Coaching Can Support You

I understand that it’s not always easy to ask for help, but coaching is a powerful way to take charge of your health and well-being. Just like we rely on coaches in other areas—whether for business or sports—a health coach is here to provide ongoing support, education, and encouragement. My coaching isn’t about telling you what to do, it’s about partnering with you to create a wellness plan that makes sense for your life. Together, we will find what works for you, helping you navigate the challenges of aging gracefully, without compromising your happiness, health, or energy.
