AFPA Certified Holistic Nutrition Coach
Holistic Nutrition Coaching
Helping you understand nutrition so you can make healthier choices for life.
Through personalized nutrition coaching, you’ll gain the knowledge, practical tools, and support to build healthier habits that fit your life—and last.
Healthy Choices Begin with Understanding
Understanding Nutrition Changes Everything
Good nutrition isn’t about chasing the latest trend or finding the perfect diet.
It’s about learning simple, evidence-informed principles that help you make healthier choices day after day.
At Holistic Shalom, I believe lasting change begins with understanding.
Rather than overwhelming you with complicated rules or expecting perfection, my goal is to help you build a clear understanding of nutrition so you can make wise, practical decisions that fit your life.
Small, consistent changes often lead to meaningful results over time.
Together, we’ll focus on building healthy habits that are informed by sound nutrition science, guided by biblical principles of stewardship, and designed to fit naturally into your everyday life.
Because when you understand why healthy choices matter, you’re no longer simply following a plan—you begin developing habits that can serve you for years to come.
The Holistic Shalom Approach
A simple framework for building healthier habits that last.
Understand Before You Change
Healthy habits become sustainable when you understand the principles behind them. Rather than relying on rigid rules, you’ll learn how nutrition works so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Small Steps Matter
Meaningful change is rarely the result of one dramatic decision. It’s built through small, consistent choices that gradually become lasting habits.
Evidence Guides Our Recommendations
Our coaching is informed by established nutrition science and focuses on practical strategies that are supported by the best available evidence.
Stewardship Shapes Our Perspective
We believe caring for our bodies is one way we faithfully steward the life God has entrusted to us. Healthy living isn’t about perfection—it’s about faithfully caring for the gifts God has given us, one step at a time.
Understanding creates confidence.
Confidence shapes habits.
Healthy habits, practiced consistently over time, become the foundation for lifelong health.
Your Coaching Journey
Every meaningful journey begins with a single step.
Whether your goal is improving your nutrition, achieving a healthier weight, increasing your energy, or simply building healthier habits, coaching is a journey—not a quick fix.
Together, we’ll take one step at a time, building understanding, confidence, and practical skills that can support your health for years to come.

Understanding your starting point

Coaching starts by listening.

Putting knowledge into practice
Lasting change happens through consistent action.
We’ll work together to identify realistic, achievable steps that fit your lifestyle and help you develop healthier habits one decision at a time.
Progress matters more than perfection.
Grow
Growing toward lasting health
As your understanding grows, so will your confidence.
Over time, healthy choices become healthy habits, allowing you to care for your body with greater wisdom, freedom, and faithfulness.
My hope is that the habits you build today will continue serving you long after our coaching journey together has ended.
The greatest goal of coaching isn’t to make you dependent on your coach
—it’s to help you become increasingly confident in making wise, healthy decisions for yourself.

Who I Help
You Don’t Need Another Restrictive Plan. You Need a Way Forward That Fits Your Life.
Holistic Shalom coaching is for people who want to improve their nutrition and health but feel uncertain about what to do, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or frustrated by changes that never seem to last.
Together, we will turn what you know into practical choices you can understand, practice, and sustain.
I Want to Lose Weight
You want to reach and maintain a healthier weight without depending on extreme diets, eliminating entire food groups, or continually starting over.
I Want to Eat Healthier
You want to understand what balanced eating looks like and make nutritious choices that are realistic for your preferences, schedule, and everyday life.
I Want More Energy
You want to explore how your eating patterns, hydration, sleep, activity, and daily routines may be affecting your energy and overall well-being.
I Want Personal Guidance
You have read the advice and tried making changes, but you want compassionate, individualized support, accountability, and a clear next step.
You do not need to arrive with a perfect plan. We begin by understanding where you are, what matters to you, and what kind of support will help you move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Before You Begin?
Beginning a coaching relationship is an important decision. Here are answers to some of the questions you may have about Holistic Shalom nutrition coaching, what to expect, and how to get started.
What is holistic nutrition coaching?
Holistic nutrition coaching considers nutrition within the context of your whole life. In addition to exploring what you eat, we may consider your routines, sleep, hydration, physical activity, stress, environment, goals, and the practical circumstances influencing your choices.
The purpose is not to pursue perfection. It is to help you understand your patterns and develop realistic, sustainable habits that support your health and overall well-being.
How is nutrition coaching different from receiving a prescribed meal plan?
Holistic Shalom coaching is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Instead of handing you a rigid plan to follow, I help you understand sound nutrition principles, identify changes that fit your life, and develop practical steps you can carry forward independently.
When helpful, we may work together to create meal ideas, balanced eating strategies, or planning tools. However, I do not prescribe therapeutic diets or provide medical nutrition therapy.
Can you help me lose weight?
Yes. Holistic Shalom can help you pursue a healthier weight through balanced nutrition, sustainable habits, appropriate activity, and lasting behavior change.
The emphasis is not on extreme diets, eliminating entire food groups, or chasing rapid short-term results. We focus on understanding what may be affecting your progress and developing realistic practices that can support both weight management and long-term health.
Do I need to follow a particular diet?
No. Holistic Shalom does not require clients to follow one branded diet or restrictive eating philosophy.
We begin with your current habits, preferences, culture, health considerations, schedule, resources, and goals. From there, we work together to identify balanced and practical changes you can realistically sustain.
Is Holistic Shalom coaching only for Christians?
No. Holistic Shalom is grounded in a Christian understanding of human flourishing and stewardship, and those values shape the compassion, dignity, and care brought to every coaching relationship.
People from any faith background—or no faith background—are welcome. Your beliefs will be treated respectfully, and explicitly faith-based conversation will never be imposed upon you.
What happens during the free Discovery Call?
The complimentary 20-minute Discovery Call is a relaxed, no-obligation conversation. We will discuss what you are experiencing, what you hope to change, the kind of support you are looking for, and whether Holistic Shalom coaching appears to be a good fit.
You may also ask questions about the coaching process and available options. Because this is an introductory conversation, it does not include a detailed assessment, personalized coaching, or nutrition recommendations.
Do I have to enroll in the 12-week program?
No. The Discovery Journey is available as a complete stand-alone service for $125 USD. It includes your pre-session assessment, a 90-minute private coaching session, your Personal Flourishing Roadmap™, and practical first steps.
Afterward, you can decide whether ongoing coaching would be helpful. There is no obligation to continue into the 12-Week Flourishing Journey.
What can I expect from the 12-Week Flourishing Journey?
The 12-Week Flourishing Journey begins with a comprehensive assessment and 90-minute Discovery Journey. You will then receive six 60-minute coaching sessions, generally held every two weeks.
Throughout the journey, we will develop practical goals, review your experience, work through obstacles, adjust your approach, and identify changes that fit your circumstances. You will also receive between-session email support, relevant educational resources, and a Continuing Stewardship Review near the end of the program.
Are coaching sessions available online?
Yes. Holistic Shalom coaching sessions are conducted online, allowing you to participate from the comfort and privacy of your home.
You will need a reliable internet connection, a device with audio and video capability, and a quiet place where you can speak comfortably.
What is included in between-session email support?
Between-session email support is available for brief questions about your agreed goals or action steps, progress updates, clarification of something discussed during coaching, and limited encouragement or accountability.
Messages are normally answered within two business days, Monday through Friday. Complex matters that require substantial discussion may be reserved for your next coaching session. Email support is not an emergency or immediate-response service.
What if I need to reschedule a session?
You may reschedule without penalty by providing at least 24 hours’ notice.
Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice or missed without notice normally count as used. Reasonable accommodations may be made when illness, an emergency, or another exceptional circumstance prevents you from providing advance notice.
What if I pay in full and decide not to complete the program?
The pay-in-full option includes prorated cancellation protection.
Before the Discovery Journey takes place, you may cancel for a full refund. After the Discovery Journey, its regular $125 value is retained because the assessment, session, Personal Flourishing Roadmap™, and initial action steps have been provided.
Once ongoing coaching begins, any refund is calculated according to the unused Flourishing Sessions remaining in your program. Full details will be provided in your Coaching Agreement before payment.
Is nutrition coaching a substitute for medical care?
No. Holistic Shalom nutrition coaching is educational and supportive. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, provide medical nutrition therapy, prescribe therapeutic diets, or replace care from a physician, registered dietitian, mental-health professional, or another qualified healthcare provider.
If your needs fall outside the appropriate scope of coaching, you may be encouraged to consult a suitable healthcare professional.
Can you guarantee that I will achieve my goals?
No coach can ethically guarantee a particular health or weight-loss outcome. Results vary according to many factors, including your health, circumstances, participation, consistency, and the changes you choose to make.
What Holistic Shalom can provide is thoughtful guidance, evidence-informed education, practical structure, encouragement, and accountability as you work toward meaningful and sustainable change.
Still have a question?
Your free Discovery Call is a welcoming place to ask questions, discuss what you need, and determine whether Holistic Shalom coaching is the right next step.
Ready to Take the First Step?
Healthy change begins with a single conversation.
Whether you’re hoping to lose weight, improve your nutrition, build healthier habits, or simply gain the confidence to make wise, lasting health decisions, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
Our Discovery Call is an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your goals, answer your questions, and explore whether Holistic Shalom Coaching is the right fit for you.
