HOLISTIC LIFESTLE COACHING PROGRAM
A couple weeks ago I attended my second level course of lifestyle coaching through the CHEK Institute with Dr. Oliver and Emma Lane teaching the course. It was phenomenal! Five days has never flown by so fast. It was a pretty intensive course, with lots of sitting and listening. However, I have to say the CHEK Institute is my favorite place to do continuing education because they provide a place to get up and stretch at the back of the room, with foam rollers and balls provided, which is so nice to have. This course really reinterated the importance of the 6 foundational principles that we learned in the first class, which I have already been teaching clients. It also took a much deeper look at how stress effects systems of the body, in particular, digestion. Life truly does begin and end in the digestive tract, and if we are constantly in a state of stress (hence, fight or flight), our digestive process suffers, leading to a multitude of possible negative effects. After having read Paul’s book “How to Eat Move and Be Healthy”, attending his first lifestyle coaching course, and going through the personal health challenges I have had over the past couple of years, this class really tied everything together in understanding how the disease process comes to be. While it is sometimes a long and tedious road back to health, the process for regaining vitality becomes crystal clear after taking this class. I am very excited to start working with my clients in this new realm of healing! I look forward to sharing my personal journey for health with others and watching as they achieve health and fulfillment within their lives. Thanks to Paul, Emma, Dr. Oliver and the others that made this course happen. We truly can save lives with this knowledge!
