Hello, friend! I'm Diana, a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I would love to help you achieve the body you desire. You will find long-term success when you combine strategies for your body AND your brain.
As a young adult I developed a skin rash on my hands. Steroid creams provided some relief, but as time passed I needed stronger and stronger creams. I finally decided to quit using them because they provided no cure. It got so bad a few years ago that I could no longer even hold a pen because of the pain. I had to wear white cotton gloves to avoid breakage of the thinned skin.
​
I began to hear about healing from the inside out--making food & lifestyle changes that could put chronic illness, including skin rashes, into remission. Thrilled with this concept, I have listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts on functional health--treating root causes of disease--and have worked with functional doctors to heal my gut. My dermatitis is now almost completely gone.
​
Along my journey I discovered that supporting the body with nutritious food, movement, and sleep is key to maintaining good health. But even with those things locked in, I found out just how powerful our brains are in the success of our physical healing: for example, while on vacation, the rash on my hands would disappear! When I returned to stressful day-to-day living, the rash would return. There is no separation between the brain and body--between thoughts and physical systems; everything is connected.
​
Many of my clients wish to lose weight as their main reason for getting coached. What they come to find when they have me in their corner is that losing weight comes naturally as a result of making incremental, positive changes to their eating habits, movement, sleep, and--crucially--their mindset. I absolutely love engaging with people in an open, non-judgmental way to help them discover what works for them as they take action to achieve their goals.
​
In my spare time I enjoy gardening, reading, and spending time with family & friends. I also love traveling in the US and abroad, learning about people and cultures wherever I go.
