Kellie Finkenzeller

As a Health Counselor, I am your personal advocate for living an energized and passionate life. Whatever your concerns are, my job is to help you find which food and lifestyle choices will work best for you and the life you desire. When diet changes everything changes.

A true holistic approach to life incorporates things that nourish you other than food, including honest and open relationships, a meaningful spiritual practice, a career that inspires you, and physical activity that you enjoy. These elements are called Primary Food. As a Health Counselor, I will work with you to help you find balance in both Primary Foods and the foods you eat on a daily basis.

Could one conversation change your life?

I invite you to an initial consultation to discuss your health history, your concerns and goals, as well as what you have always imagined for your life. This free, one-hour session is a great way for you to get a feel for how I work with clients, and to see if we are a good match. There is no obligation, so I welcome you to consider having this conversation. It could very well be a turning point in your life. Are you in?

Your Personalized Program

The goals of your personalized health counseling program are to radically improve your life, resolve concerns specific to you and your body, and to provide you with tools for a lifetime of balance. We will work together to find the right foods for your body, and to balance Primary Food - the areas of your life that feed you on the deepest levels. This unique approach provides meaningful, lasting results.

Your Program covers...

* Setting goals

* Dealing with cravings

* Taking consistent action

* Food counseling

* Making simple lifestyle changes

* Being healthy on the road and on the go

* Improving personal relationships & communication

* Integrating new, better food into your diet

* Making better food choices at work and on the go

* Getting support from others

* Creating lasting balance

* Ease in cooking

* Awareness when eating and in life

* Menu planning

Like most of us, you have probably tried a variety of diets, and may even have managed to do well on some for a few weeks or even months. However, the emphasis that most diets place on willpower, deprivation and denial is both unnecessary and counterproductive. Unless you have a plan that is practical, works with your lifestyle, and takes your individuality into account, the changes you have worked so hard to make will not last. My expertise is in helping you to figure out what works best for you.

Your Program includes...

* Two, one-hour sessions a month, including detailed recommendations

* Custom, creative, personalized counseling

* Collaborative goal setting

* Group seminars and classes covering a variety of health related topics

* E-mail support between sessions

* Books, CDs, handouts, and other materials

* Complimentary cookbook of your choice to start your own library

* Health food store tour

* Cooking class (optional)

* Recipes, handouts, articles

* Stress reduction/guided meditation

* Food samples and self-care products

* A monthly newsletter

* Access to my amazing lending library of health and wellness books

Conventional dietary theories present you with food restrictions and limitations that are difficult to sustain over time. Such quick fixes do nothing to help you achieve life-long health and happiness, nor do they bring out the body's natural inclination toward balance. Based on your needs, I will gradually introduce new and healthful foods and activities into your lifestyle. As you start to feel better, these habits will have a natural tendency to remain with you, and will crowd out the less healthful ones.

In becoming healthier, other areas of your life such as relationships, career and creativity start to improve. You will naturally begin to crave the foods and activities that make you feel better, and you will feel more motivated to make time in your life for those things that are truly important to you.

In our initial consultation we will discuss your unique situation in depth and determine how I can help you reach your personal goals. We will determine whether we are a good match and if this approach will work for you. This first session will demonstrate how a holistic, individualized approach can make a major difference in your life.
