How does one-to-one Coaching work?

The first step is for us to have a discovery call, which we can do over the phone, via Skype, Zoom, WeChat or WhatsApp. This 30 minute, free consultation helps us both decide if we will work well together. Click here to book the appointment:

If we decide to go forward, we’ll then agree on coaching package that is best for YOU.

During this meeting we will explore how to align your needs, wants, and expectations with the Wellness Goals you set for yourself. You will leave this session with a clear action plan you can implement immediately.

1. What were your biggest INSIGHTS from our time together? 

Learning a new way of eating and looking at macronutrients in food as a means to fuel the body in specific ways. Gone are the days of eating with emotion, instead now are the days of eating with purpose....mostly!

2. What were your most impactful RESULTS? 

Weight loss and sustained energy throughout a day without the typical 3pm crash. 

3. What HABITS are you going to take away with you? 

A primal way of eating most of the time, and continued purposeful movement to build muscle and lose fat. 

4. Did you achieve the GOALS you were looking for? 

I still have a little ways to go to achieve the aggressive body goals I’ve set for myself, but it’s clear that this lifestyle will achieve those results over time by doing what I’m doing now.  

5. What specific part of the program did you like best?

I enjoyed being able to talk openly about what my body goals are and how to achieve them. What some may consider vanity in fact has long lasting health benefits. And of course the result of looking good and feeling confident, can’t be argued with!

6. Is there any other feedback that you would like to add? 

I had a lot of fun chatting with you! I have always enjoyed cooking and of course eating. This way of eating has added to my enjoyment of food by gaining knowledge about how food effects the body. It’s had some changes in how I cook and eat, but i don’t consider it a sacrifice and greatly enjoy my new habits and of course feel great! I’ll still enjoy the occasional carbohydrate treat, but with greater conscience of the decision to do so, and the resulting effect on the body.

I promise you this:
You will not starve.
You will not be deprived.
You will thrive.

I love my morning bowls… why? Because they are creamer, thicker and more nutritionally dense than smoothies. Plus, it’s simple to make as it only requires a max of 10 min! This one has a small avo, spinach, kale (large stems removed), rocket, unsweetened coconut milk, 1 tbsp flaxseeds (grounded), 2 persimmons (peeled and chopped), matcha powder, and spirulina. You can top it up with extra persimmons if you like (to make it even sweeter). If you live in China and want to eat in tune with seasons then persimmons must be on your shopping list. Persimmons are rich and tangy and sweet, all at the same time… lol no wonder that the persimmon fruit was dubbed “the divine fruit” by the Greeks. Permissions are high in fiber, antioxidants, vitamin A, manganese and vitamin C. Go and get your persimmons today! Have a wonderful weekend 😚#persimmonsseason #eatinglocal #eatingseasonally #morningbowl #breakfastideas #thriveinshanghai
However this message finds you, I hope you can take a deep breath in (let love in) and a long breath out (send love out). This week I’m in Qingdao (for work) and even though I’m surrounded by the beauty of nature I felt kinda off yesterday & this afternoon. To shift this energy as soon as I got to my hotel room I put on my fave music and moved freely... I was stretching, jumping, and shaking. I finally managed to let the mind drop away while my body took over. Then I went outside for a run 🏃‍♀️ (psst 🤫 I only run if something is chasing me or if I’m running late for ✈️ or 🚞)Anyway somehow I feel much better now 😌 What’s your fave tune that helps to tame your monkey mind? #monkeymind #favetune #dancingtherapy #dancelikenobodyswatching #walkthemoonband #mentalfreedom #businesstrip #qingdaocity
Living in China gave me the opportunity to get immersed in Chinese characters. 聴 (ting) is the one that interests me the most. It combines 5 different characters: ear = what you use to hear, king = pay attention as if the person were king (couldn’t find a picture with this one, but should be below the ear character), ten & eye = be observant, one = listen with individual attention, heart= listen also with your heart. Most people sadly are not good listeners, most of us appear to be listening so that we can have our turn to speak (share experience, give opinions, give advice, or say something completely unrelated). Just for a minute, recall how you felt last time someone really “listened” to you in the way that demonstrated by this Chinese character with ears, eyes, and heart. It happened to me recently and it felt like a heart-to-heart connection. And what kind of heart-to-heart connection was that? It felt in tune, deep, and expensive. Perhaps the hardest thing a person has to learn is to shut up 🤐? Lol, 😂 Ask yourself: “when I’m listening at my best, that’s like what?”; “and when you do that, whereabouts in your body do you feel it?” #activelisteningskills #coaching #intomesee #somatictherapy #cleanlanguage #noassumptions #thriveinshanghai
