Small steps add up to big changes

True well being is more about the little things you do each day to take care of your body and soul

The journey to true well being does not start from the outside. Health is not found in a box, a fad diet, or becoming perfect. It may sound odd at first, but it starts inside of you, acknowledging your heart’s desires, seeking what is holding you back, and listening to your body. Everyone can make simple changes, and in time, single steps add up to a new way of looking at food, wellness, and even yourself.

And should you slip back into old habits, well being is never lost or too far away; in understanding the building blocks of nutrition and health and in seeing roadblocks as opportunities, you will always have a path back to well being.

In Iceland where I grew up, it’s common to see small stacks of stones called cairns placed along trails and nature paths. Cairns serve as guideposts to assure hikers that they’re moving in the right direction. When the stones are well balanced, the cairn is a stable, strong, enduring structure.  The cairn is very meaningful to me; you’ll even see it stylized in my logo.

I believe we all need guides along our important journeys, including our journey to better health. Are you looking for guidance along your path to wellness? Is it time for you to build or rebuild your cairn of wellness, or perhaps just place a new rock on it; one that is different and better-balanced?

Some important concepts that we’ll explore:

Bio-individuality™:

The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has unique food lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background. I use a personalized, holistic approach to ensure your success!

Primary Food™:

It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat, but all the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.

Integrative Nutrition™ Plate:

The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality. I’ll introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body!
