I believe mental and physical health are inseparably linked. I can help with both! Mental health conditions sap energy, confidence, and motivation, making it harder to engage in good self-care, which can lead to decreased vitality, poor athletic performance, and physical health problems. Improving mental health will give you the energy and motivation to improve your physical health and fitness, and improved nutrition, fitness, stress management, and sleep leads to better mental health. By addressing both mental and physical health, I help you achieve optimal wellness.
