My Honest Review Of The Institute For Integrative Nutrition

My Honest Review Of The Institute For Integrative Nutrition

It's been about a year since I completed my health coaching course through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and this post is long overdue. I'm often asked by others about my opinion of the course and if I think it's a good program.

The answer is....maybe.

Personally, I was absolutely wowed by the course. It was exactly what I was looking for and I loved every minute of it. It changed my life and has allowed me to create this beautiful passion-fuelled life I now live. It has helped me heal myself, connected me with like-minded individuals all around the world and has enabled me to inspire people to live their life to their fullest.

But whether IIN is a good choice for you, depends on YOU and what you’re after. Let’s have a closer look:

From Anorexic and Binge Eater to Holistic Health Coach - IIN Health Coaching Q&A - Part 2

From anorexic to binge eater to Holistic Health Coach - this is my personal journey of how I went from battling my own disordered eating demons to helping others tackle theirs. I take you all the way back to the first time I opened up about my eating disorder, how I struggled to find someone who could relate, how I finally found someone who was able to hold a safe space for me to be vulnerable and when/how I felt ready to give back and help others. I also talk about how I initially looked into becoming a nutritionist or psychologist, but soon realised that wasn’t the right path for me and eventually stumbled across The Institute For Integrative Nutrition, also known as IIN.

Introducing the 6-Weeks Intensive 'Ditch The Diet' Coaching

2020 Coaching.PNG

I just announced my first coaching intake date for 2020, and it’s going to be a SPECIAL one! This is an intensive 6-week program starting on the week of the 27th of January, and is designed to help you rid the diet mentality for good and finally make peace with your body and the food on your plate.

I'll never tell you to deprive yourself or cut out certain foods from your life. Instead, my goal is to help you recognize the toxic diet culture mentality that is no longer serving you and instead help you tune back into your body’s inner wisdom about how to truly nourish yourself—so that you can free up space in your life for bigger and better things.

I’m a big believer that your relationship to food is a direct reflection of your relationship to life itself. In that sense, food can be a beautiful doorway to a deeper understanding of oneself. And this is where health coaching can be really powerful – because whilst we may initially look at what foods are best for you to eat, we soon start looking at how you eat and why you eat the way that you do, and that can be a beautiful catalyst to big change and deeper healing.

Throughout the 6 weeks, we’ll have weekly 1 hour long on-one-one calls and there will be homework/assignments in between sessions. You will also have email support in between sessions and WhatsApp access to me personally. Essentially, I will be your accountability partner along every step of the way.

If you want to learn more about the specifics of the program, my approach, cost structure or want to make sure the two of us vibe before you commit, go ahead and book in your initial free 20 minute Discovery Call with me today. You can also read up about my approach in more detail by clicking the More Info button below. I’m super excited to hear from you.


How To Navigate Love And Eating Disorders

How To Navigate Love And Eating Disorders

For about two years, I struggled with my inner daemons on my own.

That is, with my eating disorder, of course.

It was a debilitating feeling, knowing that no one else knew that side of me. I wanted to let someone in, but at the same time I couldn’t think of anything worse than someone finding out the truth.

When I finally found someone who I could confide in – and who didn’t seem to care in the slightest that I had “issues” – it changed the way I dealt with my problems. I finally let someone in. That person was Phil.

Why Waiting To Buy New Clothes Until You Lose Weight Is The Worst Idea Ever

Why Waiting To Buy New Clothes Until You Lose Weight Is The Worst Idea Ever

I know....

You don’t want to buy that dress or shop for new jeans until you’re at least 5,10, 15, 20+ kilos thinner than you are now.

You imagine this beautiful new wardrobe you’ll buy when you’re skinny and image how fantastic and confident you will feel.

I get it. I used to think the same.
