You’re stuck and burnt out. You keep hearing the same story about money in the profession and you’re conflicted. You’re told that you cannot help others while making an income that actually supports you.

YOU DREAM BIG! BUT, YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THE STEPS ARE TO GET TO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO WITH YOUR CAREER AND BUSINESS. DON'T WORRY, YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!

The reality is, you were never trained to run a business. You are good at what you do, good at supporting clients, and good at offering care. But when it comes to business ownership, growth and money, sometimes you feel lost. You wonder, is there another way to do this without me sacrificing my well-being?

Being a solo or small business owner can be hard work. It's even harder when you have constant doubts about your abilities. You may even be struggling with imposter syndrome. Or, wondering if you are "worth it" to potential clients. Plus there are no colleagues around to tell you how amazing you are doing!

I want to support you in creating a life and business that you love with business coaching in Seattle, WA without giving up your values or sacrificing your identity and lived experience.

What’s Weight-Inclusive Care?

Weight-inclusive care is the opposite of the traditional weight-normative approach in health care. Weight-normative care emphasizes weight and weight loss as a way to define health. It blames the individual’s body for poor health outcomes. A weight-inclusive approach defines health and well-being as being complex. As a result, it doesn’t blame a person’s body or the fat on their body for health outcomes. Instead, it focuses on improving health access and reducing weight stigma. A weight-inclusive healthcare professional takes the emphasis off of weight as a health perimeter. The focus instead lies on the behaviors that improve health outcomes long-term.
