Welcome to where health meets consciousness.
Hi, I’m Jill
I’m a soul-based health coach, brought to you by my rather depressing experience with conventional medicine. Over a decade ago, I was met with disappointment after disappointment as I saw doctor after doctor who didn’t help me overcome my mysterious yet chronic health conditions. I came to find out that I was seeking answers in the wrong places and that in order to feel better, I needed to go off the traditional course.
Conventional medicine:
- slices and dices the body into separate parts rather than looking at it as the whole organism that it is.
- rarely mentions food as a form of medicine.
- unnecessarily puts people on pharmaceuticals, most of which do more harm than good.
- doesn’t acknowledge a person’s life outside of their health concerns.
It wasn’t the answer I needed, and I don’t think it’s the answer for many others.
Learning in Costa Rica
I became a health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in New York City. I discovered IIN during a solo trip to Costa Rica where I came across a book written by the school’s founder and director. Mentioned in the book was a concept called the Circle of Life that resonated with me deeply. I was drawn to it fot two reasons: (1) where health coaching is typically thought to focus on diet and exercise, the Circle of Life represents components of health besides just those, and (2) where nutrition is thought of mainly in the context of food, the Circle of Life represents additional sources of nourishment, such as your relationships, career, spiritual practices, physical movement, personal passions, non-dietary forms of self-care, playfulness, creativity, and fun.
Causing Wellness
IIN’s Circle of Life advocates that every part of its color wheel be equally considered in the full expression of what it means to be truly healthy.
The moment I discovered the Circle of Life concept + IIN’s coaching program was the moment I saw the solution to an allopathic healthcare system that wasn’t working for, say, 90% of the people needing healthcare.
Because there’s a difference between treating disease and causing wellness.
The latter is what most people need.
Work With Me
I help you create wellness by offering an alternative and holistic health service in which I consider your past experiences, personality, environment, mental health needs, and long-term goals when I work with you.
My clients are usually sensitive, creative, empathic, and intuitive types. I believe these traits come with invisible antennae, making a person’s internal processing needs much greater than the average Joe’s. This results in an energy requirement that isn’t always available. There tends to be a constant vulnerability to becoming drained on multiple different levels. The body can become wounded and fatigued; the state of mind, anxious or depressed; and the Spirit, especially, well it suffers.
I come in and help with the experience of modern life. I help with what’s worldly, where higher knowledge counts, but only in so far as it is useful in the analysis of ordinary/everyday events.
I offer tailored, real-world support to people who feel a lot and want to feel better.
In just a few weeks, she was able to uncover hidden patterns and past traumas that would’ve taken me years of self-reflection to discover on my own.
Not only do I feel healthier, but I also feel more confident in my career and personal relationships.”
