What is a Corporate Wellness Specialist?

As a health and wellness coach who serves corporate clients, I am excited to announce I have completed the training and examination to become a Certified Corporate Wellness Specialist®.

BATTLING PCOS?

PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome – this is the entire reason I enrolled in and received my Hormone Specialist Certification, after hearing from a handful of health coaching clients that they suffered from this condition. So what is it?

A NOTE ON CRAVINGS…

Situation: You’ve just walked in the door after a long, stressful day of work. It’s late, you have nothing prepared for dinner, and you’re too exhausted to chop, peel and cook the vegetables in your fridge.

I TRIED IT, YOU DECIDE!: Fast Mimicking Diet

For ages, fasting has been a part of our worldwide culture. Before it was ever a fat-burning, lose-weight-quick technique, it was a religious practice in Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism to demonstrate sacrifice or serve as a gateway to a greater spirituality. Only recently has it become mainstream as a dietary approach.

Feeding Kids

All My Child Wants is Cheetos and Mac N Cheese!

“Chicken nuggets or pizza please!”

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that response when my children were younger I would be a millionaire.

I certainly am not perfect. My children have had hot dogs, pizza, birthday cake, chips and have occasionally eaten something off the floor that has been there longer than five seconds. But as I studied nutrition and became more aware of what was in our food, I started paying attention to what I was feeding them as well.

Making Your Self-Care Routine Successful and Sustainable

I have found that self-care ALWAYS without fail pops up as a goal during my clients’ early health coaching sessions. (What do I mean by self-care? Read my earlier post here What is Self Care. The fact that every one of my clients lists self-care as a goal has shown me just how desperate we all are for a little self-love and nurturing.

Meet Shanna:

My Health and Wellness Journey

Thank you Shanna! I have loved your coaching, your advice, your ideas and your support. I lost over 10 lbs through Shine’s one on one coaching program and have kept it off! I am more aware and educated in the areas of nutrition and self-reflection. I now know how to make healthier choices and reflect on my goals and accomplishments more mindfully!

Shanna showed me that widely-held beliefs about exercise and weight loss aren’t cookie cutter for everyone. I loved her holistic approach. It wasn’t just about food and diet, but about everything going on in your life. She’s the first person who took this whole-person perspective, and she provided immense support in “non-health” related areas of my life, challenging me to try new approaches that I never imagined I could do.

Shanna has an excellent listening ear, is a great motivator and caring. In my 6 month program I lost weight and learned how to remain calm through meditation.

The most significant overall change I have noticed aside from losing 42 lbs is I am out of the rut I was in and am willing to try new things especially with foods and home cooking. Shanna convinced me that cooking is not evil and because of her guidance I am eating a lot more fresh foods, which in turn has made me feel better and given me more energy. She is a caring person with a very warm sense of humor. I left every session with her feeling more upbeat. Shanna realizes that one size does not fit all and had many suggestions and solutions to help keep me on track.

The most significant overall change I have noticed in working with Shanna has been: Seeing the bigger picture and being able to help myself through some of my anxieties of fear of the unknown. Being more mindful of how exercise and food help me positively and at times negatively.
