What is Holistic Nutrition?
A holistic view is one that sees things as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole. So are we as humans - not just a symptom or a body system, but a whole being whose parts are all connected.
As an RHN, I approach health and healing from a whole-person perspective, rather than just focusing on a symptom or condition. Using nutritional education as a primary tool, I emphasize the building of health by approaching each person as a unique individual. This requires fully engaging the individual in their health recovery process, and honouring their innate wisdom by working in an empowering and cooperative manner to chart a unique course to optimal health.
One's health is an expression of the relationship between the physical, chemical, mental, emotional, spiritual and environmental aspects of life and being. Just altering one’s diet cannot produce a sustainable change.
Holistic nutrition provides a lifestyle change and connects you back to your body.
If you have tried dieting or making lifestyle changes but nothing has stuck it could be because your body, mind and soul are disconnected. Holistic nutrition combines these elements for greater success and true life long change.
MY PHILOSOPHY
I believe in a holistic approach to health....my passion for good food is exactly why I do what I do. I appreciate how busy we all are, and value the need to keep things simple and easy. I want to empower you to take charge of your health, for life.
I absolutely love food. Good, whole, natural food, that is! It is nature’s medicine, and in its innate perfection, it holds the key to all that we need. Knowing how to choose the right things to put in our mouths can be challenging in today’s world, but there is so much variety and choice today we can take advantage of! Let me share my knowledge with you!
Doing something as basic and necessary as feeding ourselves shouldn’t be a complicated task that takes up all of our time and energy. Especially when our time and energy is at a premium on the best of days, let alone on those days when it feels like we are being pulled in a million directions at once! Let’s keep this basic need simple, easy, and do-able for you.
In providing the tools for you to take charge of your own health, I will empower you to bring about the change you desire. My passion for uncovering the truth of your unique path to health will allow you to let go of the confusing messages that are all around us, those that make it so difficult to know which “advice” is correct! I will do the work to provide you with the information you need to reach your goals, and you will have more time, and health, to focus on the things that are important to you.
A healthy love of self is so important in this life. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot love anyone or anything else. Self-care and self-love is expressed through the nourishment of our bodies and souls. Let’s go on this journey of growth through self-love together. The whole world can become a better place if we start with ourselves.
