A Holistic & Integrative Approach to Wellness and Functional Medicine Coaching
At Design and Wellness Center, we offer holistic-integrative wellness and functional medicine health coaching that includes stress management and spiritual counseling. Our holistic-integrative coaching program empowers our clients to make lasting behavior changes that are the foundation for a lifetime of health and well-being. Primary care clinicians and acute care hospitals who are overwhelmed with large client caseloads cannot meet every need of their patients with pre-chronic or existing chronic conditions. This is where we come in as holistic nurse wellness coaches.
Holistic nurse coaching is a skilled, purposeful, results-oriented and structured client interaction that is provided by a Registered Nurse for the purpose of promoting achievement of client goals. In coaching, you as the client are the expert about your own health needs. We are here to help support, keep you accountable and guide you along an individualized wellness journey.
Through coaching sessions, we help you promote and facilitate the growth, healing and well-being of you as a whole person by using coaching principles and healing modalities that integrate body-mind-emotion-spirit-environment. We integrate coaching competencies to facilitate a process of change and transformation that assists our clients to actualize their highest potential and meeting their life, health and wellness goals.
Health and wellness is impacted by multiple interconnected dimensions necessitating an integration of modern medicine and complementary alternative modalities. These dimensions include the choices one makes that affect their physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, financial, social, spiritual well-being and the medical care and holistic approaches utilized for their health and wellness care.
Our holistic coaching programs were designed to guide individuals who are in the midst of a life or health challenge and/or individuals who desire to discover a more balanced heathy lifestyle for disease prevention and health promotion. We help individuals discover healthier ways of dealing with stress, coping and moving through life and health challenges and incorporating complementary and alternative functional health therapies for better wellness (healthy nutrition, exercise, lifestyle modifications, better sleep, movement, yoga, meditation, stress management etc.).

Functional Nutrition and Weight Management
Body
Our bodies were designed to be used as a vehicle to manifest the higher good. In our coaching program, you will journey along a intuitive process and learn how to have a better relationship with food. Tap into your inner intuitive healer, and listen to what your body is telling you it needs. Ditch the fad diets and weight loss programs that do not work and that do not consider your body temple as its' uniquely designed to fulfil a higher purpose. Uncover the subconscious thoughts that have led you to unhealthy eating patterns and a negative body image. Learn to develop a healthy lifestyle and eating regimen that will nurture your body in a loving way.
Mind
Dig deep into your unique way of thinking, your emotions, and the hidden root causes not only of your weight but also that of your life challenges. As humans, we deal with a vast number of subconscious, emotional, psychological, and hormonal issues that lead to stress, weight gain and fluid retention. Our minds, spirits and bodies have a remarkable capacity to begin healing through simply changing how we think about ourselves, our lives and our daily habits. We are here to help you work through your challenges holistically using various cognitive, emotional and mental techniques for weight loss.
Spirit
Diets, pills, exercise, liposuction etc..-- these don't work often, because we haven't gotten to the root cause of our weight issues which is often emotional and stress related. We remain addicted and/or misaligned with unhealthy food choices instead of prioritizing our spiritual needs that is directly linked to a healthy and vital physical body. We invite you to join in on this healing journey where you will learn to overcome cravings, find motivation, use your intuition, and tap into the true needs of your spirit. Feeling spiritually, mentally and emotionally weighted is just as important as feeling physically weighted. This we can work through together.
Holistic Wellness for the Mind, Body & Spirit
Through stages of personal transformation, embrace a sense of empowerment and an embodied awareness and coherence within your mind, body and spirit. Feel connected, safe and confident within your body and abilities to heal naturally.
Activate the inner healer within and learn to navigate through burnout, stress, illness, disease, trauma, limiting beliefs, and unhealthy behaviors and habits. Navigate life's challenges and uncertainties more gracefully with inner wisdom, intuition, consistency and intention.
Cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself, your body, others, nature. Embrace love and gratitude. Transform your health and wellness by uncovering root issues and discovering your highest potential within.

What is our Spiritual Coaching/Counseling practice based on?
Spiritual coaching/counseling is not psychological counseling or psychotherapy, but rather a reflective interaction that guides the client into unveiling their spiritual and emotional needs in a compassionate and caring nature. Our Holistic Wellness and Spiritual Coaching/Counseling program is not attached to any particular religion or faith practice. As holistic integrative nurses, we use a hybrid approach and merely coach, education and counsel within the area of general spirituality and a confidential-professional coaching/counseling setting which may include elements of energy-healing principles.
Spiritual coaching/counseling greatly complements my other therapies of stress management, energy healing, meditation, Yoga etc. I help my clients understand their own spirituality to promote peace, healing and union with a higher essence and life purpose in relation to common life problems, challenges and issues.
