ABOUT PATRICIA
My name is Patricia Wandoren and, in addition to being a mother, wife, lover of dogs and cats, pilates fanatic, and cooking connoisseur, I am also an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.
To pinpoint the start of my health journey would be impossible, but I have experienced many life-changing events that have played significant roles in pushing me to the field of wellness, including the loss of my father and two sisters with cancer, and an auto-immune condition called Hashimoto.
Despite the undeniable pain I felt from these experiences, as well as my struggle with my health, my true passion for health and wellness has been revealed with them.
Now, with a handful of life lessons under my belt, I have made it my mission to help heal and motivate people, so they grab hold of their life and use their negative experiences as a catalyst to create a better, brighter, and healthier life.
HEALTH COACHING
What is Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching?
Great question! Let’s dive in:
Integrative Health Coaching, simply put, is a collaborative effort between client and wellness professional. As a team, the client and coach navigate the ups and downs of life with a particular focus on nutrition and wellness.This relatively new coaching technique stands out among the rest in one particular way: it addresses wellbeing from a holistic – rather than single-minded – perspective. In essence, Integrative Health Coaches view the body as a system of interdependent (or, dare I say, integrative) parts working together to operate a singular unit. So, instead of treating different aspects of our health as separate entities, this method of coaching combines diet, emotion, and self-image to generate the best results. You don't just change your diet, you change your identity.
​
Moving on, my personal coaching strategy lies in the belief that there are two types of nourishment for the body: tangible food we put on our plate and the activities we do in our day-to-day life (such as exercise, career, relationships, etc.). With me, you will focus on the digestive system, hormones, and your emotions.
What does this look like?
