Healthy Lifestyle
Add years to your life and add life to your years!
Ever since I started what I like to call my "Coaching 2.0" journey, I've had lots of people say to me, "Lisa, what exactly is the difference between a Life Coach and a Health Coach?" With that in mind I have created a little primer. Without further ado, here is your guide to Life Coaching vs. Health Coaching, and a look at how some kind of coaching might be helpful in your life.
Depending on our age, genetics, beliefs and tastes, we get to decide what lifestyle choices work for us. You probably know some people who are allergic to shellfish, some who can't be near a peanut and some who won't discuss eating anything that resembles an animal. And then there are the folks who are gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher, Paleo or just can't tolerate onions.
There can be shifts throughout our lives as well. How many of you are wondering why you have acquired an extra 5-10 pounds when you've been eating the same way for the last decade? Things change. The older we get the more difficult it can be to lose weight and so we can choose to adapt accordingly.
The point is, no single way of eating works for everyone all the time….
I believe it’s important to find things that feel nourishing even if they have little or nothing at all to do with food. Nourishment can be about more than just the food we eat. Living a healthy lifestyle involves nourishing all your parts: body, mind and spirit.
For years I waxed poetic about my morning coffee. The flavor, the aroma, the ritual of it every morning. It was an anchor in my day and got my heart started in more ways than one. While I haven’t fallen out of love with coffee, I have a mad rush on the ancient but oh-so-trendy matcha green tea.

Somewhere in the process of becoming "Mommy" I lost something fundamental: I lost contact with my Essential Self. I would catch glimpses of her from time to time but she was like a shadow, getting bigger when the light was right, taunting me with her elusive and mercurial appearance.

If you’re reading this, chances are that you're part of the huge number of exhausted, depleted, sleep deprived humans who are experiencing what some experts are calling "an insomnia epidemic." I can totally relate. To say "I get it" would be an understatement. I've battled insomnia for years. I've tried everything - seriously - EVERYTHING - in my attempts to sleep through the night like a "normal" person.
I’m neither a doctor nor a trained sleep specialist - although I have personally seen my share of both. What I am is a certified Life and Health Coach who has worked with countless people over the years and insomnia has been a common complaint for many. Whether you have problems falling asleep, staying asleep or both, chances are you’ll find something here to help you. Each of the things on this list has worked for me and my clients at one time or another. It’s my sincere hope that you find some thing or things that can be a magic bullet to help you slay your insomnia and get back to the business of sleeping and living.
