An IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) is the ONLY health care provider who specializes in breastfeeding. Like a dentist, we charge for our time and expertise!
I charge a flat
fee which allows us a relaxed atmosphere to be
able to work - no one is watching the time go by
and their bank account empty. To be able to give
you a better idea of my fees I need to know your
general area of where you are living or which hospital you are
staying or will be having your baby.

At Wholistic Wellness we look at the “whole” picture – to have a better understanding of you as a “whole” person, to find the best method to help you with nutrition, stress management and functional exercises. By focusing on the “whole” person we balance the mind, body, heart and soul.
I have been a client of myself. I learned to eat the food that nourishes my body. Learned how to manage and handle every day challenges and stress. Learned how to take care of my soul by meditating.
I came to a point where I want to help others as I know from experience it was a huge help for me to be able to talk to someone and to have some guidance and directions. Turning to a professionals can be very healing on all levels.
A great teacher once said “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” My goal is that you leave a session empowered and feel supported to change your life for the better.
I offer life coaching on various levels. I provide guidance and consultation in Nutrition, Meditation, Stress management and so much more.
Customized for each
individual, the coaching can
be a full lifestyle coaching
or a simple and short
consultation on Nutrition.
Either way I will be honored
to share and assist you in
your wonderful life changing
journey.

illnesses including:
• Abdominal bloating
• Diarrhea and/or
constipation

infections

What is a C.H.E.K Lifestyle
Coach (HLC)?
 |
CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coaches specialize in wellness, stress management and lifestyle coaching. They have completed one or more levels of the CHEK HLC program, including all the required prerequisites for that level. CHEK HLCs come from a highly varied background. A C.H.E.K. Holistic & Lifestyle Coach (HLC) will help identify your individual needs and teach you how to address issues that may be preventing you from looking and feeling your best. |
| We are unique individuals and because of that we respond to foods, stress and exercise differently. The HLC will identify common problems that, if not quickly identified, can become roadblocks, such as poor nutrition, stress, hormonal imbalance and gastrointestinal disorders. For example, undetected food allergies can make all your efforts to flatten your abs come to a screeching halt. | |
What does a Holistic
Lifestyle Coach do?
C.H.E.K HLC program is based
on a cutting-edge techniques
of world renowned Holistic
Health Practitioner and
certified Neuromuscular
Therapist, Paul Chek,
founder of the C.H.E.K
Institute in San Diego, CA.
Chek, a sought-after teacher
and speaker, has had
unparalleled success using
his holistic approach in
rehabilitation and
conditioning for over 20
years.
An HLC will help you learn
how disease and stress are
preventable through healthy
eating habits, lifestyle
management and appropriate
types of exercise. S/he will
help you to understand why
every meal, every exercise
and every late night has a
hormonal consequence. The
tools that they are using
will allow then to determine
your willingness to change
and will use questionnaires
to assess your condition.
This program exceeds
anything you will experience
in any other “wellness
program”.
This is Optimal Health and
Fitness Coaching the CHEK
way!
Your success will be rooted
in the type of foods you
eat, things you drink, hours
you sleep, and thoughts you
think. We will address the
root cause of your health
challenges without burdening
your body with
pharmaceutical drugs that
only mask symptoms.
You’ll learn how to remove
and identify stressors that
may be destructing to your
health and then you will
replace them with
substitutes that nurture
you. You will also learn how
sleep, stress, thoughts,
exercise, hydration and
nutrition all work together
to optimize your energy.
Changing your lifestyle for
optimal health is a long
journey. Follow up
appointments are to keep you
on your toes, to provide you
with support and if
necessary more guidance and
information.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The fee is "Pay What You Can" PWYC. You decide at the end of your session what you think it is worth it for you based on what you can afford.
