Wild Soul Wellness

As someone who has a love hate relationship with the wellness space, I created Wild Soul Wellness based on my own personal journey with my health and wellness. I have never been nor will I ever be someone who looks like a “wellness influencer”- and have found myself upset, frustrated and sometimes defeated in my own health struggles. I have not been listened to, not taken seriously, and just flat out discriminated against because I don’t fit the mold of what you think of when you hear the term “healthy” or “ health coach”. I have been written off by Doctors and also those in the wellness space over and over again due to the size of my body, and assumptions and bias against people who inhabit bigger bodies.

In my own journey, I have discovered that being well, has little to absolutely nothing to do with the number on the scale, yet, 99% of “wellness” programs focus on outdated models based on BMI, weight, inches, calories in and out, macro micros, weight management and expensive often ineffective supplements and powders, or having THE answer as a one size fits all answer- which clue phone…. there isn’t one.

Wellness for me (and this is not an exhaustive list) is about how much you love and enjoy your life, the people you surround yourself with, the amount of love you give and receive, how much time you spend in nature, how much time you spend or don’t spend on a computer, at a desk, commuting ETC. Wellness is about eating great tasting food that your body can absorb and use, AND that you enjoy eating. Wellness is about the quality of the ingredients you use to fuel your body, as much as it is about your spiritual life and practices, whatever those may be.

Wild Soul Wellness is about giving you a chance to enjoy life in the body you have, not try to endlessly change it. While I have lots of knowledge about lots of things, YOU, your body, your wellness are a unique miracle, and my programs are tailored made for you uniquely. No program I design is exactly the same. Whether you need a kind and supportive ear to listen to you and your concerns, a nutritional education, cooking lessons/ recipes, a meditation program, a walking program, or maybe you need to just go sit with a tree and breathe; we will discover together what it is that will make the difference for you in your own health and wellness journey. Wild Soul Wellness is about wellness of the whole person, and wellness in all facets of our multi faceted lives.
