My Story…the basis of my model of personal wellness coaching.

In my 30s began to gain weight.  A chocoholic who existed on 5-6 hours sleep per night, I depended on diet cola and sugary snacks for energy.  As a result, I was always tired and experienced mood swings.  I also suffered from severe headaches.  Buying into the Superwoman Myth was clearly taking its toll.

I tried quick fixes for weight loss and exercise but was easily sidetracked by the demands of career, parenting and running a household.

Finally, I realized that I could only change one behavior at a time and if I attempted too great a change at once, I could not sustain it.

First, I made it a priority to get 7-8 hours of sleep per night.  The boost to my energy level propelled me to the next step.

Next, I chose to start walking on a regular basis.  The regular activity resulted in more restful sleep and leveled out my moods.

This success led to a decision to make healthier food choices.

The combination of improvements in sleep, activity and nutrition not only led to weight loss but a decision to invest my time and energy in what matters most to me, my family.  Those relationships improved and I achieved the life balance I desired.

I hope you will allow me to share my process for making small, gradual behavior changes with you so you, too, can develop a lifestyle that generates energy and permits you to spend time on what is most important to you!
