Rather than tell you my life story, let’s address what you want to know about me. There are a lot of things you might be wondering, and they usually boil down to this…
- Can he help me with my goals?
- Should I trust him to coach me?
Great questions! Those are two things that any responsible person should ask. There are at least a few things that go into this. Sometimes, it’s about qualifications, but it’s usually more important to have proven experience. When it comes to trust, I’m also happy to share a bit about my character.
In my opinion, it’s important to practice what you preach. Nobody should follow a hypocrite! That’s why it’s important to me that you see me as an example of my message: Live a balanced life at your fullest potential!
Let me address some of the basics. As far as experience in the Health, Nutrition, and Fitness industries, I’ve coached as a CFL1 Trainer with an additional Gymnastics Specialty, an Online Nutrition Certified Coach, as well as a TRS – Movement & Mobility Specialist (which means I know how people move and how to get them out of pain) and coached for several years out of a local CrossFit gym, as well as virtually, before creating thenHOW Coaching. In that time, I’ve coached several hundred people, but coaching means more than just telling someone how to move and programming workouts and mobility exercises. It means I’ve been developing relationships with people, getting to know their strengths and weaknesses, and helping them overcome their challenges while working through restrictions. I’ve helped people get stronger, fitter, more confident, more energetic, and smile more! (That said, they put in the work…just like you will!)
So can I help you get healthy and fit? Absolutely!
Can I help you if you’re dealing with pain and injuries? Yes! I will work to understand what might be causing you pain and options to alleviate your pain through various types of exercises, stretches, and soft-tissue work. If we determine that there’s a need to work with a more specialized medical practitioner, I’m happy to work in tandem with them to address your needs.
Can I help you with your career goals, work-life balance, and managing stress? Sure thing!
Since 2011, I’ve also worked as a manager for a company of over half a million employees. (Yep…big company.) In that time, I’ve worked closely with dozens of people and overseen a couple hundred to get them to perform better, handle stress, increase their income, earn promotions, and find work that they value and love!
Disclaimer: If you’re dealing with debilitating stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction, I encourage you to seek the help of a licensed counselor or therapist.
Can you trust me?
Honesty and confidentiality are important to me, and in order for me to help you, you need to think and feel like you can trust me with whatever is involved in reaching your goals. While you are always responsible for your own health and decisions, (after your safety and well-being) I take your trust as the highest priority. That could mean trusting me with your health, your body, your feelings, your hurts, your weaknesses. Here’s the thing… when we talk about changing behaviors, we have to be honest, so trust is key!
Because trust is something that should be earned, it might help you to know that I used to work in full-time (and, still occasionally, in part-time) ministry. That means I’ve heard some deep hurts and dark secrets, so we can work through whatever you’ve got!
So can you trust me? Obviously, only you can decide, but I hope you see my character and care for you shine through.
To sum it up, I hope that by knowing a bit about me, you trust that I have your goals and best interest as my priority. I hope you understand that I care about helping you and believe that I can and will do what you need to get you closer to attaining your optimal life!
