Why I Decided to Become a Health Coach

In March I officially began a year-long program to become an Integrative Health Coach🤓. This program through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition focuses on both your physical and your mental health, and all of the components that come along with it. The goal when completing the course is to be able to help others achieve their greatest levels of success through mindfulness and self-care. Sounds pretty much exactly like my mission with The Balancing Effect, wouldn't you say? 

This program is something I’ve been thinking about pursuing for some time, and it fueled my mind even further because of the mentorship program I’ve been doing with the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders for about a year now. I just want to do more to help these women (and really all women) live fuller, happier, well-balanced lives and maintain the best levels of mental health possible.

I toyed with the idea of going to grad school and ultimately decided that this program was the best use of my time and money that allowed me to still pursue all of the current goals I'm going after with my career and The Balancing Effect. So, I’m educating myself and doing it. And I’m both terrified and excited, but mostly just full of joy knowing that I’m taking my mental health mission with The Balancing Effect one step further. ​

My mission in life is to help others become the greatest version of themselves through mindfulness and self-care...to teach them to be kind to themselves...to encourage them to go after their dreams and give them the tools to help them do so...and to learn to laugh and stumble and fall along the way. I'm so excited to see what the future holds with The Balancing Effect. I see this program giving me the ability to take on one-on-one clients, create group coaching programs, develop online courses, produce more products, and so much more. I'll be able to start taking clients about 6 months into my program, so if you're interested and want a great deal on some health coaching with yours truly, please reach out! 

Here's to going after our dreams with all we've got, friends.
