I provide holistic healthcare by guiding clients in understanding their relationship with food and what the body needs to perform.Outcomes are: Understanding of what one's body requires to perform optimally. Able to identify habits that will help them live the healthy lifestyle they desire. Able to identify cultural gifts that support overall health and wellness. With the knowledge learned, clients are able to create goals that will eventually become habits, setting them on the path of their unique wellness journey. I help them create connections between their cultural history and their current behaviors around health and wellness. I help to identify subconscious thought patterns through guided meditation which is also considered a form of mindfulness. I help people see relationships in their life between habits and beliefs around food and health while using the lens of culture.
