Hello
I’m Carlien
I am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and love working with people who are ready to take control of their health, but not sure where to begin. As a Functional Medicine Health Coach, I can dig even deeper and help you get to the root cause of your health and weight concerns, like hormone imbalances, autoimmunity, Type 2 Diabetes, thyroid issues or eating disorders. Let me show you how easy it is to make healthy choices.
What I Do
Health & Wellness Coaching
I follow a Functional Medicine Approach by focusing on the person instead of a disease process or diagnoses while getting to the root cause of every unique individual’s health concerns.
This is a personalized approach just for you and your unique needs. I partner with clients to find answers and support them through the healing process by educating, inspiring and empowering them so they know how to make informed decisions to not only get healthy, but to stay healthy!
Functional Lab Reviews
Most medical doctors use typical reference ranges when interpreting your labs. Considering that we are living in a society full of unhealthy people, you definitely don’t want to be high, low or even normal in the typical reference range. By doing a Functional Review of your labs. you can get an idea where your body is in terms of optimal ranges. I am not a doctor and do not make any diagnosis, but can guide you to make healthy lifestyle changes in order to get your body more in the optimal ranges. Some of the tests I offer are:
- Dutch for hormones
- Gut health/ leaky gut
- Full thyroid panels
- Food sensitivity testing
- MicroNutrient testing
- etc.
Meal prep and planning
Do you want to learn how to prep your produce so it can last longer? Not only will it save trips to the store, but it also saves money since there is less waste. You will also learn to meal prep and always have fresh produce as snacks in your fridge. I offer a variety of classes based on the time of the year. I also offer cooking classes locally or online.
:Weight Loss
I’ve been a weight loss coach for almost 7 years and offer different weight loss programs, depending on the client’s needs. I offer a 9 week weight loss program that involves eliminating inflammatory foods followed by a reintroduction period to identify potential triggers for your unique body. I provide program materials and a weekly check in where we track your progress and make necessary changes.
I am a certified Shape Reclaimed Practioner. Learn more about the Shape program here: https://shapereclaimed.com/
I also offer shorter reboot programs if you just want to get “back on track” or a combination of a Functional approach and recommended dietary and lifestyle changes.
