Approach
"I listen first, for motivations, health conditions, preferences. I pull from 25 years of research I have read, and do a translation of why into small steps you can choose from. What I know is not the usual, I share the little-known causal factors. I encourage letting go of the myth of perfection, in exchange for the spot light on the 10% easy change that allows health excellence! Use of brain and motivational techniques are part of the visit, to support your success. I'm in your corner!"
