About the Health History Consultation 

When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve? It's rare for anyone to get time to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. As a health coach, I am here to create a supportive environment while we explore what really works for you.

 

Could one conversation change your life?

Find out by scheduling a free consultation with me.

We will discuss your unique situation in depth and determine how I can help you reach your personal goals. Just give us a call to set up your consultation.

What is Holistic Health Coaching?

Food CircleHealth Coaching is a unique, exciting innovation in health and nutrition. As a Health Coach, I have studied all the major dietary theories and will help you discover what approach works best for you at this point in your life.

 

Rather than dwelling on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, restrictions and lists of good and bad foods, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.
 

No one diet works for everyone. I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals. 

About Christine Cochrum 

I am a licensed massage therapist, licensed esthetician, certified clinical nutritionist, holistic health practioner, holistic health coach and co-owner of Apothecary Wellness. I have been working in the holistic field since 2003 and throughout the last eight years have continued my education in many aspects of this amazing field.

 

I feel that my education and experience in each of these aspects of the holistic world provide me with a unique prospective to bring to my clients. I truly believe in the holistic environment and that EVERYTHING is connected.

 

My passion for holistic nutrition and health coaching comes from many years of studying the body as a massage therapist and esthetician, my own struggles with nutrition and weight issues and years of education as both a clinical nutritionist and a health coach.  

  

I received my training in clinical nutrition at the Natural Healing Institute in California and my training to practice holistic health coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories-combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods.

My Approach
IIN Food Pyramid

A different approach 

I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.

 

A health coach (or health counselor) is a wellness guide and supportive mentor. Together, we'll work to achieve your goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, food cravings, sleep and energy. Through working with me, you'll develop a deeper understanding of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.

 

Bio-individuality 

The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has her or his own food and lifestyle needs. So, when the experts say, "dairy is good for you" or "fat is unhealthy," it doesn't apply to everyone. One person's food is another person's poison, and that's why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I'll support you in making positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, personal preferences, and background. Instead of prescribing one fix for all people, I use a personalized, holistic approach that is based on your needs.

 

Everything is food

We are not only fed by food but by other factors in our lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual practice are essential forms of nourishment. When these "primary foods" are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.

   

Integrative Nutrition Pyramid 

The Integrative Nutrition food pyramid focuses on nourishing food and lifestyle choices. Our wellness pyramid emphasizes the importance of high quality vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and water. To complete the picture, the pyramid is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal heath: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality.
