There are many aspects to the Wheel of Wellness, including Nutrition, Fitness & Exercise, Stress Levels, Sleep, Social Support, and Positive Attitude. With the Health Coaching assessment, together, we look at all these levels, identify areas of focus and create an action plan for what you can do to balance your approach. Increase your health and wellness through changing your habits, increasing your positive attitude, reducing stress, and engaging your deeper mind to increase your body's ability to heal itself!

“I originally began working with Holly to increase my health. I had a (heart attack) the year before and from the ECG (Electro Cardio Gram), it showed tissue damage on the front and back of my heart. I had less energy and wasn’t able to be as active as I was before. Holly and I worked on a program, focusing my mind on healing as well as changing my eating habits. As we made changes, and I worked with self-hypnosis audios (that we recorded in sessions), I found I had more energy, and was able to be more active. My doctor has also decreased my medications. Now, 6 months later, I got the report from my Cardiologist and he said, “the tissue damage is gone, your heart is now considered normal.” They were amazed at my heart’s recovery. I have so much more energy, and this is the best I’ve felt in years.” – Paul Tucker, retired, age 70, Vancouver, WA |
Our thoughts and feelings have a direct impact on how our bodies function. The Bio-Psycho-Social Model of health is gaining notice as the best model of how our health responds to what we think, how we feel, and even our social interactions. A great example is the stress response. Stress can actually decrease the immune system's ability to function. On the other hand, positive social support, and positive attitude can actual increase it.
Ryan began working with me as he was looking for answers to Irritable Bowel Syndrome that he had suffered with for four years, medications only helped somewhat and doctors had no real explanations for the causes of the intestinal distress. IBS is linked with stress patterns, so we focused on changing anxiety patterns, and his body responded. After only 5 sessions, Ryan reports he's symptom free! Ryan said, “I found new tools that I could tap into, a greater ability to handle life situations more comfortably and with less stress or worry. My body has been doing great from the work we did and the positive imaging and attitude you've helped me create and enforce has been helping so much!“ -- Ryan, age 32 |
Take charge of your health and speed recovery! Easily change your habits to ones that support you, such as eating healthy foods and staying with your fitness program. Making dietary changes can be hard, but can have huge impact on how well you recover. Plus, with advanced forms of Hypnosis and NLP, you can increase positive focus, reduce stress, and engage your deeper mind to increase your body's ability to heal and recover.
The best approaches are integrated with your mind and body system. Your mind and body are connected. With advanced forms of Hypnosis and NLP, we can engage the deeper aspects of your mind and awareness to remove the internal blocks to healing. Once these are addressed, your body can better heal itself. NLP and Hypnosis have had amazing results in addressing anxiety, stress management, depression, pain reduction, controlling allergies, preparing for surgery, recovering from injury or trauma, recovering from stoke, and more!
You can maximize your body's ability to heal itself. Doctors can't explain spontaneous recovery, and there are many people who have recovered despite the best professional opinions to the contrary.
We have only just begun to uncover what the human mind and body are capable of. Perhaps it's time to take charge of your own wellness by using internal strategies to increase your health potential! Perhaps it's time to explore what your mind and body can do for you.

Thought Pattern Management can help you reduce mental stress, thus also reducing physical stress on your body and your immune system. This modality is also wonderful for helping your body to recognize and coordinate its systems and work together with greater harmony and health.
NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming can aslo address stress and anxiety patterns, help your brain set up new mental habits, and identify and change core issues behind the original causes of symptoms.
Meditation and Hypnosis You can take charge of your health by working with the deeper aspects of your mind and body system. The body takes its orders from different systems of the mind. By focusing your awareness, we can guide you through meditations and self- hypnosis to help your mind direct your body's healing energies to the areas of the body that are in need.
In sessions, we develop audios specifically designed to address your health challenge. We record the session and you take it with you during the week to help keep your mind focused on your healing potential.
