OI Trajectory Completed
iACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS:
As well as being an Organic Intelligence® Certified Coach, I’m certified as a Gupta Program coach. I recovered from chronic fatigue syndrome and sensitivities to chemicals, foods, and electromagnetic fields with these two methods for nervous system regulation. Another aspect of my work is increasing safety for people from groups that have been historically marginalized. This includes activism as well as working with clients, training and supervising coaches for the Gupta Program, and supporting clients who are practitioners so that the work ripples out.
After I recovered from food sensitivities, I realized that the disciplined approach I had taken to food was a form of orthorexia. I enjoy supporting clients in developing an easier, more enjoyable relationship with food, health, and their bodies.). I needed Body Trust’s acknowledgement of the impact of systemic oppressions and the weight-inclusive environment to learn to really tune into my body’s needs and became a Certified Body Trust® Specialist in 2024. I am also working on the requirements to become certified as an Intuitive Eating Counselor.
If you’re interested in working with me, please send me an email telling a little about why you’d like to work specifically with me, and what you are looking for in individual sessions.
I also offer group coaching. New groups are announced to my email list and posted on Eventbrite.
While the sliding fee scale spots for individual coaching are full, there are sliding fee scale spots for people on government benefits and grants for People of the Global Majority (BIPOC) in group coaching.
