Developing a healthy relationship with food is a key component in achieving lasting fitness resulting. Too often individuals starve themselves on low-calorie diets, which leads to quick weight loss, but inevitably they burn out and return to normal eating patterns, or perhaps indulge in binging behaviours, easily gaining back all they had lost. It has taken time, experience, and patience, however I am happy to share with my clients how I broke this cycle and now don’t see any foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but simply as food, energy for the body. You can learn to eat foods you love – in moderation! – as part of a healthy lifestyle.

One of the greatest gifts I can give to you is the reflex to turn to exercise during stressful times in your life. Somehow, weight training became my therapy early in my adult life, and I am so thankful that I had this tool to cope, rather than unhealthy activities. Staying on a fitness program is a challenge for everyone at the beginning, but my support will help you push past the tough initial weeks until you look forward to your workouts, because you feel great afterwards! Programming your body in this way will help cement the habit of working out, which will go a long way toward longterm good health.

When are you hoping to get results? Now, of course! As soon as possible, is everyone’s response. Patience is not a virtue of mine, either, however it is one that we all benefit from working on. Good things take time, but I will coach you to notice the many other amazing things that are happening as your body changes in reaction to your efforts. Setting mini-markers together that lead you to your ultimate goal will help motivate you to keep going and be proud of your progress.
