How Does Coaching Work?

 

Coaching is personalized - based on your goals, needs and preferences - and can include you, just two of you, or your whole household.

​

Think of it like having a nutrition guide and accountability partner right in your corner!

​

​Coaching Includes:

​​

  • Weekly or bi-weekly coaching sessions by video/phone

  • Ongoing text/email support between sessions

  • Personalized nutrition strategies, resources and support

  • Adjustments as schedules, goals and needs change​​​​

How I Coach

 

My coaching is grounded in evidence-based nutrition and behaviour change, with a focus on long-term results - not quick fixes, restrictive diets, or rapid weight loss.

​​

Coaching isn't about telling you what you should be doing.  It’s about helping you build habits and routines that actually work in your real life so you can feel better and create lifelong health.

 

A Practical Real-Life Approach

 

We start by learning all about you - what's unique and what makes you tick.  What's already awesome and what's frustrating and concerning.  What's working and what's not.

 

We'll clarify your goals and then begin building a simple, exclusive and personalized way of eating that fits into your life and feels right for you.

​

Your plan might include things like:

* Creating more consistent energy throughout the day

* Reducing late-night snack spirals

* Healing your relationship with food

* Feeling confident that you're getting adequate nutrition

* Incorporating a realistic exercise program

​

Along with strategies such as:

* Meal planning when everyone has different preferences

* Designing simple repeatable meals to reduce decision fatigue

* Creating emergency meals when life gets chaotic

* Navigating weekends, travel and social events

​

A big part of my role is helping clients bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it consistently, especially when life gets busy, stressful or messy.

A Few FAQ's

Do you provide meal plans?

I don’t provide rigid meal plans.
Instead, I'll help you learn how to build meals confidently that work in your real life, with your preferences, schedule and goals. This approach supports long-term consistency and change rather than short-term compliance.

Do I have to track food, macros or calories?

No. Some clients may choose to use tracking tools short-term for awareness, but calorie or macro counting is not required. The focus is on habits, patterns, and skills, not numbers.

Do I have to cut out any foods?

No.  A healthy diet and sustainable approach to eating includes ALL foods (even your favourite foods!)  We'll work on balance, portioning, and consistency not restriction.  For most clients, the first focus is on adding - ensuring that enough fruit and veggies are included.  You may then find you have less room for the calorie dense foods!

Can you help with weight loss?

Yes. Weight loss can be a goal.
However, the focus is on building behaviours that support health and weight management over time, for the long-term.  I want you to learn forever habits rather than temporary quick-fixes.

How long do clients usually work with you?

This varies.  Most clients work with me for several months so they have time to build habits, practice skills, and feel confident continuing on their own.  Sustainable change takes time, repetition and support across different life situations.  Some clients return to coaching when new challenges arise.

Do you work with men?

Yes.  While many of my clients are women, I work with adults of all genders, as well as couples and families with children of all ages.

Can you help me get started with fitness and exercise?

I can support you with physical activity and exercise programs, habit-building, and helping you fit it realistically into your life.  If you need a very structured training plan, I may refer you to a qualified fitness professional.

Is this coaching virtual or in-person?

Coaching is primarily virtual. In-home kitchen coaching and cooking classes are available as optional add-ons for Calgary clients.
