No one likes to be on a diet.
Dieting usually means sacrificing or restricting foods we love and/or foods we were ‘told’ are ‘bad’ when wanting to lose weight (like carbs!), being hungry and irritable, and worst of all, the gains that were made when dieting often reverse back to where we started - and then we diet again.Wouldn’t you love to never diet again?
Wouldn’t it be great to:
-
Be able to eat your favorite foods
-
Not feel burnt out and frustrated with dieting
-
Be really happy with how your body looks and feels
-
Not to be stressed about what food to eat or not to eat
​
And most of all, why did we give up on all the diets we followed in the past and continue to chase the newest ‘fad’ diet - only to not be able to maintain long-term forever results? Our bodies (and souls!) don/t respond well going on and off diets over and over again. Not only is it stressful on our bodies but it is exhausting. And confusing.
And depressing.The goal should always be to
-
Not have food restrictions
-
No longer think of food as ‘good’ or ‘bad’
-
Be strong, vibrant, and full of vitality
-
Have more energy, better sleep, greater focus
-
Feel more attractive and love your body
This is where coaching comes in. I will connect with each client on a personal level. I will provide you with a customized plan defining nutrition and exercise that is simple and easy to follow with weekly check-ins.
Coaching Plan
Working with a nutrition coach will reverse feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, hopeless, and confused to empowered, energized, strong, healthy, and in control of your body again.
I specialize in supporting menopausal women who are struggling to recognize themselves and get back to feeling like themselves again.
1
Phase 1: The Restoration Phase
Physical Restoration - Low complexity, low stress, skill building
-
Improve energy and sleep
-
Decrease bloating
-
Improve digestion
-
Decrease hormonal symptoms
-
Boost metabolism
-
Stress Management
-
Prime the body for the fat loss Phase
2
Phase 2: Preparation
increase skills and knowledge
At this point we will have increased your metabolism, obtained proper nutrition knowledge, and have incorporated strength training. This phase prepares your body for the deficit/fat loss phase.
3
Phase 3: The Deficit: Fat Loss
You are ready! We worked hard together to prime both your body and your metabolism. Crazy enough, this phase doesn’t mean cutting our all your favorite foods; rule of thumb - you can have whatever you want just not all at once. 🙂 Even during fat loss, the goal is to continually ensure that all the results you gained in Phase 1 and 2 are maintained (sleep, digestion, energy, hormonal balance)
4
Phase 4: The Exit Plan: how to maintain forever
Coaching doesn’t stop after fat loss. I will teach you how to come out of the fat loss phase gradually without gaining weight back - so you never have to diet again. This is so important for lasting success. You will have all the tools you need in order to be successful on your own!

Personalized Wellness Guidance
Within weeks, my attitude towards food changed. I was looking forward to making meals and having my snacks throughout out the day, my exercise routines took less time (with results) and I was sleeping better than I ever have. And the bonus, my clothes fit better than ever, my skin glows and my confidence is higher than it’s been in a very long time.
Heather
Kelly immediately figured out how to help me and within a week I felt stronger and better than I had in months! And it was fun! She helped me understand why things were or weren't working and what I needed to do to continue towards my goals of feeling stronger.
Leslie
Kelly understands how stress and wellness go hand-in-hand. She was able to be flexible with my relationship to food as my life demands distracted me. And she always had convenient solutions to any bump in the road I encountered. I always felt encouraged. I never felt deprived or judged. Food is more than sustenance to me. It’s medicine and it’s also joy. Kelly was able to help me without taking away any part of my relationship to food. Work with her. You will be so happy you did.
