What is an Fitness Nutrition Coach?
A Fitness Nutrition Coach has completed a certification program as part of a nutrition studies course to demonstrate understanding of sound nutrition principles and sciences with the purpose of educating clients to improve eating habits, fitness and overall health. A Fitness Nutrition Coach is a nutritionist, not a registered dietician. Fitness Nutrition Coaches are trained to help clients understand nutrition principals, improve their and their family's eating habits and help them reach their wellness goals through nutritional coaching.
I am the nutritionist at a Wellness Center in Wilmington, CA, where I provide nutrition advice and meal planning for patients and clients in conjunction with other alternative medical care and therapies. My services do not replace medical advice by patient/client's own medical providers. It's intent is to help them achieve their fitness and wellness goals and prevent disease or other ailments through proper diet. The wellness center offers components integral to wellness, including fitness, yoga, acupuncture and massage. Our patients and clients enjoy the benefits of good health and wellness through stress management, exercise, holistic health care and nutrition education. As part of patient and client success, I initiated a Wellness Workshop Series. The WWS is a series of educational talks. Topics change monthly, but always include one or more aspects of wellness, often with an opportunity to sample a nutritious meal, new product or technique. The WWS takes place monthly.
I have taught nutrition and fitness for five years to both adults and kids and developed a nutrition and fitness program with a pediatrician for local elementaries. The focus of the program is to teach students proper nutrition and to encourage them to increase physical activity. The 6-week program was created to be part of the student's health curriculum and includes friendly challenges. When we tracked their activity in miles, both our staff and the students were pleasantly surprised to find that as a class-level, their accumulated mileage was enough to get them around the world! That is the power of education, motivation and expert support!
I have developed a Fitness Menu for Hailey's Cafe in Wilmington, CA. My goal was to create a menu for the calorie-conscious customer without compromising taste or quality. Check them out at www.haileyscafe.com. Better yet, stop by for a visit!
I have worked with special education children in an educational capacity for about ten years.
