SHIFT COACHING

Shift your thinking.  Shape your life.

ABOUT ME

20181219Shift-260sc.jpg

​​Working with me is a blend of listening, challenging & providing expert advice. We’ll figure it out together, you as the expert in your life & me as the expert in health and well-being. I could come up with a hundred ideas to improve your health, but that rarely works. What does work, is partnering together to develop a plan you can feel confident about!

 

My coaching is most influenced by The Three Principles (3P), Intuitive Eating, Mindfulness, Tiny/Atomic Habits, Health At Every Size (HAES) movement, and many years of working with clients of all ages in both a clinical nutrition setting and in a broader sense as a health and wellness provider. Clients describe my coaching style as approachable, empathetic, light-hearted, practical, and motivating. With 20+ years of experience working as a Certified Health Wellness & Lifestyle Coach, Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist & Certified Diabetes Specialist, I am passionate about helping clients find their own version of health, wellness, and purpose in life.

On A More Personal Note

  • ​When I'm not coaching I'm chasing the sun with my husband and fur-baby, enjoying the outdoors kayaking, biking, paddle boarding, and camping.

  • What I'm most grateful for in life is my connection to nature, the love and loyalty of my dog and spouse, and the feeling of the wind in my face on a bicycle!

  • My proudest accomplishments was taking the leap to leave a status quo job, house, and life behind to have a four-year South American adventure of a lifetime!​

  • One of the most life-changing books I've read is "You Are The Blue Sky, Understanding who you are beyond your thinking" by Sarah Kostin

TESTIMONIALS

What Clients Are Saying

"I am grateful to Diane for her gentle, confident and knowledgeable approach to coaching. I have learned so much about being mindful and I'm confident that I'll be able to continue with these mindfulness practices to help me manage my stress and improve my resiliency."

James T.

I truly felt lost in a sea of diets and frustration until Diane helped me discover mindful eating.  Her encouragement and faith in me helped me finally break free from my struggles with food.

​

She helped me understand that diets are actually the problem, not the solution. I have begun to trust myself around food more, worry less about the number on the scale, and I feel more at ease with eating the foods I really want to eat without so much guilt.  I'm happily diet-free and never going back!

Dawn L.

"With the help I've received from Diane, I am no longer ruled by mindless habits. I have learned to distance myself from the negative thoughts in my head and tap into my innate wisdom."

Aaron P.

Working with Diane is refreshing and joyful! She has encouraged me to look at things in new ways and to become curious about my thoughts.

​

I have gained new tools working with her which has led me down a path of discovery and hopefulness.  I'm so grateful for Diane's guidance and expertise in helping me with mindfulness and the body!

Stephanie L

"I have gained many new insights working with Diane which has led me down a new path of self-discovery. I am excited about my future!"

Will S.

I was in a  perpetual state of food choices - having amnesia from one meal to the next.  I realized that intuitive eating was working for me when I noticed that I was making easeful choices about what to eat without worry or guilt. I am no longer ruled by urgent food cravings, nor mindless eating habits.  I know what physical hunger feels like and I wait until I'm hungry to eat.  I feel great, and confident in the lasting power of this intuitive eating process.  I am grateful to Diane for her gentle, confident and knowledgeable approach to coaching.
