BALANCING LIFE & HEALTH

It is easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment.  It is not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives.

I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected.  Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat?  Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising?  As we work together during this six month program, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole and see how and where we can make improvements.

What my clients are saying:

Having John as a coach has helped increase the little knowledge I had about healthy eating – the major point made was awareness of labeling in the grocery store. When I grocery shop nowadays, there is a little voice asking me if I looked at the label for GMOs, sugars, sodium, fats, etc. The knowledge I gained from his coaching has revised my eating habits into healthier food choices. I feel more confident with my food selections and best of all, I do not miss all that junk food like I thought I would.

“In January of 2017 my Doctor said my last three blood tests showed a continuing increase in blood sugar levels. He said I was officially classified as a type-2 diabetic. That got my attention! Maybe the reason it hit me so hard, was that I spent 2016 feeling pretty lousy, old and very achy. I reached out to John who is a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health coach. He has a 21-day detox program that he walked me through and educated me on. John helped me make several changes with a particular focus on diabetes. Three months later, I lost 40 pounds and my Hemoglobin A1C is now 4.7, which is consistent with the absence of diabetes. The numbers were so good; the Doctor went back to his notes to see why he would have ordered these tests. When he looked at the original numbers he was really impressed. Thanks John.”

With a family history of short, stout women, I have been on a dozen different diets since my teens. The results were always temporary. Now in my mid-sixties, I have learned that keeping my weight under control is more than going on the latest fad diet. I owe this new long-term lifestyle of health to John van Vlaardingen.

LET’S GET STARTED

How does my One-on-One Health Coaching program work?

Two Coaching Sessions Each Month

Every two weeks we will have a 50 minute Health Coaching Session in person, by phone or Zoom (web conferencing).  This equals 12 Health Coaching Sessions over a 6 month period.

Periodic Check-In's

The weeks we do not have Health Coaching Sessions, we will have short Check-ins. Meaning I might give you a text or send you a quick eMail to ask about your week.

Unlimited eMail Support

Any time you have questions you can eMail me. I answer most eMails within the same day, just keep in mind, it might take up to 48h hours. Use this to your advantage because you do not have to wait until our next Health Coaching Session.

Healthy Gifts

Because I am here to help you, throughout the program I will provide you with some small healthy gifts. It can be an eBook, recipe, food sample, coupon, etc. – It depends on what I think best fits your needs.

Still have questions?

Below are some of the most commonly asked questions.  But feel free to send me an eMail if you have a different question or something is not completely clear.

YES!  In order for us to work together, I need to have a little of your health history and see if I can help you with your goals.  My One-on-One Health Coaching Programs might not be for everyone, so we both need to make sure that we are a good match.

NO!  This is and will always be just between me and you!  I will not share this anywhere or discuss it with any of my clients, friends or family.  Your privacy is very important to me and I take all the necessary measures to keep your information confidential.

It really depends on your computer skills and your willingness to share as many details as possible to make our collaboration easier, but it should not take you more than 30 minutes.

NO!  The whole purpose of the Intake Form and Discovery Session is to:

  • Determine which program would be best suited for you
  • For me to get to know you better and discuss your goals
  • Bring us together in person, phone or web conference in which we will both see if we are suitable for each other

Regarding working together in any of my Health Coaching Programs, we will discuss all the details at the end of the FREE Discovery Session.

The below image explains the entire process the best.
