You’re a health-conscious go-getter...

You take great pride in the work that you do, taking care to fill your body with healthy foods that fuel your drive. And whether it be yoga, workouts at the gym or training for your next race, you don't miss a beat! 

But it’s a struggle to get it all done. You’re not sleeping well, your sugar cravings are out of control, and your gut is a hot mess. 
 
And despite trying all the conventional remedies, they aren’t working, and you just feel so UNWELL. It's puzzling, confusing and you're frustrated!

Well, my friend, you aren’t alone! 

about

 

Hi, I'm Naomi!

I'm both a professional Program Manager, and a Certified Holistic Health Coach. That means I help highly skilled technologists execute complex projects, by breaking down large initiatives into small, achievable tasks, creating an action plan and providing support to make it happen.

I also help smart, savvy women who suffer from chronic stress, fatigue and burnout, breakthrough their healthy blind spots and find practical solutions through natural healing with whole foods and by making lifestyle and environmental changes. 

Why? Because I'm on the front lines. I see the good, the bad and the ugly of the working world. I know what it's like to achieve the highest of innovations, but I've also seen the toll it takes when you're striving to reach your goals, but the bar is dynamic and constantly moving higher with every achievement. You can read more of my story here.

Like you, I was following the “rules”, and it wasn’t working. I was exasperated; thought I was doing "everything" right. I was training for marathons and cut out gluten and dairy, but as I’ve learned, everything that I had been taught “being healthy" was incomplete.  

There’s so much more to health than diet and exercise.

So after almost 20 years of working in the tech world...

I went back to school and became qualified as a health coach. I learned how the human body actually works, what real food is and how to approach health from a bigger perspective, not just what the media markets to the masses. I’ve learned to look beyond the obvious; to put my detective hat on and uncover the root causes of what may be causing health problems.

Certification + Trainings:

Now, it is my mission to empower other women who are frustrated and still struggling. I realize that I have something to share with others who push themselves too hard, too far, too fast. 

I specialize in: 

  • Real food nutrition
  • Overcoming sugar addiction
  • Elimination diet protocols to address food sensitivities and intolerances
  • Digestive health
  • Stress management
  • Environmental influences and reducing our toxic load

Through 1x1 mentorship and group coaching programs, I take a functional nutrition approach to help my clients find practical solutions to create and execute a health plan that meets their individual needs.

“Naomi helped me see that there were so many possibilities to living healthily. I love that she had a substitute for all of my unhealthy habits, and her consistent follow-up really helped to keep me accountable of my goals.”

I believe...

+ Your diet should be based on YOU, not dietary dogma. One way of eating does not define me. I take principles from many different dietary theories and figure out what foods energize me and what foods don't. You can too.

+ Your body sends you messages when it's out of balance; are you listening?

+ Simple diet and lifestyle changes can help almost everyone recover from almost anything. But simple doesn’t mean easy.

+ That given half a chance, your body will repair itself.

+ Self-care is a form of self-respect.

+ Nurturing relationships, effective communications, joy and fulfilling work are just as essential as food and exercise.

+ Work + life balance is relative, but work + health balance is non-negotiable.

If you’re been told by your doctor or health care practitioner that you need to make dietary and lifestyle changes, or if you’ve done your own research and know that change is needed, but you aren’t sure how to make it happen, I’m the coach to help you feel confident and at ease, not overwhelmed, and to guide and support you.

I’m not here to convince you that you need change, but if you’re an action-taker and you're eager and ready to find solutions and make forward progress, take action today. You deserve it; you don't have to do it alone.
