COACHING, WELLNESS & MOVEMENT
FUNCTIONAL HEALTH & WELLNESS COACH,
BLACK BELT NIA TEACHER
Welcome to the magic of the coaching process, and the magic of movement.
The first time I did a Nia class, I felt like I was coming home to my body. Connecting to myself in a profound way. Health and Wellness Coaching offers a similar connection.
How do I come home to my body? What vision do I have of optimal health for myself? Where would I like to be, and how do I get there, one small step at a time? Sign up for a Nia class, and you’re signing up for a new relationship to your body.
Sign up for Functional Health Coaching, and you’re signing up for a journey of growth and connection and profound change.

WHAT IS HEALTH COACHING?
Many of us know a lot about health. We read about the best ways to lose weight, to reduce stress levels, to gain fitness and strength. We often know what to do, but doing it is hard! As a Health Coach I am a change agent.
I will partner with you to help you figure out your deepest motivations and values, your optimal wellness vision for yourself, and together we will set up a weekly plan to help you get there, one small step at a time. We will look at overcoming barriers to change, and set up ways of being accountable.
WHAT IS THE NIA TECHNIQUE?
The Nia technique combines Fitness and Wellness into a unique movement practice. In Nia we blend the fun and spontaneity of the dance arts, the fluid, organic movement patterns of the gentler martial arts like Tai Chi and Aikido, as well as the precision and power of Tae Kwon Do. We integrate the expansiveness of Yoga, and the mindfulness of functional movement therapies such as Feldenkrais and Alexander Technique. Systematic principles, and each person’s connection to sensation, guide the technique of Nia.

Body, Mind, Emotions, Spirit – how are yours?
As we move through these days of division and anxiety fuelled by the pandemic, by war in Europe and by global warming, I’d like to ask you how you are and to tell you a little about how I am. In between I will drop bits of Rumi poetry that seem to me to speak to our...
Histamine Intolerance – A Confusing Condition
It’s time to write about one of my least favourite topics. It’s my least favourite because it is complex, and because I suffer from it. And yet it’s really important to address it, because many people don’t know it exists. The topic is histamine intolerance. I...
