LAMB and SAGE - Holistic

Holistic Health Coaching - Weaving Values, Principles, Accessibility, and Ancestry into Health and Healing.

Holistic Health Coaching is exquisitely personalized. It is a journey into your ancestry, your values and your soul. It is understanding how the experiences in your life, in your family's life, and in your community have shaped you. As a health consultant, I believe it impossible to design a health plan that does not include personalized holistic coaching, but my patients must find these answers for themselves.

For me, it was defining the sadness in my life and healing from it. It was identifying and reducing the 'noise' in my life: stress from commitments and financial burdens that did not align with my priorities. It was defining the word REVERENCE and applying it to every moment in my life. It was seeing myself as a Métis woman and recognizing my ancestral connection with the land. It was in finding the love of my life and the birth of my daughter that prioritized my mental and physical health as an extension of theirs.

Perhaps for you, it is learning how to make your grandma's recipes or building a garden. It could be that you must take your hours of electively spent on screen time or on the couch and spending them outdoors or doing something creative. Perhaps your things own you and you can downsize your life and become rich in free time. It all starts with defining your PRIORITIES. Priorities that are simple, foundational and unwavering.

Holistic health can only be defined from one's own perspective. In all consultations, I share my story, and encourage the weaving of elements from your own story into the health rituals we design.

Clients will receive researched coaching tools and tips through diverse mechanisms, including books, podcasts, and examples. Together, and over 3 months of tailoring, we will find the roadmap to change that will enhance your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

I look forward to hearing your story!

My Priorities

Quality: Making the most of the moment. Presence. Adventure.

Family: Striving for making memories with family and honouring existing memories and heritage.

Time: Being rich in free time. Being healthy so that you can enjoy the time that you have left.

Purple Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie - A healthy ritual and a medicinal meal

I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). This condition affects many systems of the body, especially blood sugar. It is like being born 'pre-diabetic'. PCOS is a 'hyperinsulinemic' state, meaning that my body produces a very large amount of insulin when I eat sugar. This causes blood sugar crashes (hypoglycemia) easily, especially after sugary meals. I know now to eat a very low glycemic meal plan but a healthy breakfast can be a challenge (especially because I am allergic to eggs!)

The purple chocolate breakfast smoothie is what I make myself most days. The protein powder from Metagenics called 'Ultra Glucose Control" has been formulated to include slow release carbohydrates (so you avoid that 'crash') as well as vitamins and nutrients associated with improving blood sugar control. I include an unsweetened almond milk for a low sugar liquid, chia seeds to increase omega 6 intake (highly anti-inflammatory and healthy for hormones), flaxseed which also helps balance hormones, and tumeric which has evidence to be anti-inflammatory. *please feel free to contact me for references!*. I add a half of a banana (because all smoothies need banana) and the rest is blueberries. I chose blueberries because of my Saskatchewan Métis ancestry and the local blueberries that you can pick here in late August. I was once told by an elder that "you should be made up of mostly moose meat and blueberries" and I took that to heart!
