I am a long time registered dental hygienist, who has come to understand what life was like living with my ex, clearly identified as having grandiose Narcissistic Personality Disorder. NPD can make you sick in various ways. Recovery can take many years, perhaps a lifetime, and a great deal of effort. With proper self-care starting from the health of your mouth, which is profoundly a reflection of your overall health, is where nutrient intake begins, to digestion, absorption, metabolism, excretion of waste. Lifestyle practices from meditation, sleep, movement, exercise, hydration, to biblical principals, will support you in your endeavor to be well again emotionally, physically, financially, and spiritually.

I studied with the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, affiliated with the Institute of Functional Medicine, Cleveland Clinic. Health Coaching is based on your goals that may include a whole new reset... or some tweaks to get you back to yourself... detoxing, the use of food as medicine, supplements, weight loss, and all ways of self-care.

NPD has a fair amount of collateral damage affecting other relationships; family, friends, kids, co-workers, and even pets. Healing may be as simple as just having someone to walk with through the trauma to a referral to a good psychologist. I will support you with gentleness, positive reinforcement, and empathy to get there. Our sessions together will always be about you.

At 9 years old, my grandparents decided to start a health food store, I heard all about organic foods, vitamins, minerals, and the like... They would get phone calls from local physicians calling them quacks or for nutritional advice! I was obsessed with diets and nutrition ever since. Mom always was found in the vegetable garden, canning and cooking for a family of 8, our extended family and our friends. My grandfather was way ahead of his time with nutrition advice!

Empathetic, encouraging, non-judgmental, positive and open-minded. Everyone is unique. Experience has taught that FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real and fear cannot live in the presence of true faith. Since we all have some degree of faith, let's find out how to get you moving forward and drop what is holding you back..

Functional Medicine is about getting to the root of the problem. You may choose to hire a coach independently from your physician but you may elect to work with your physician and the coach as a team. Should the coach identify something you need but is out of the coach's scope of practice, the coach may refer you back to your physician or perhaps another provider, the choice is always yours.

Coaches cannot be everything to everybody. Coaching styles are unique as clients are unique.

It is always best during the initial encounter for each of us to decide if we are a good fit for each other before the contract is signed.

I am considering the possibility of actually coming into your home or apartment with your permission to assist you with your home environment to get your house in order. A home that is uncluttered, clean, organized and ergonomic will generally help uncluttered your mind..... especially with this pandemic around. I am delighted to walk beside YOU toward what works for YOU as you move forward.
