What Is Nutritional Coaching?

Nutritional Coaching is more than just education on what you should or should not eat. At Botanica, Master Nutrition Therapist Christine Straley works with you to modify personal eating patterns and underlying behaviors as well as create detailed and effective meal plans for you.

What we take into our bodies and the manner with which we eat has an impact on all parts of our system: our organ function, physical performance, emotional balance, and mental capacity. Transforming the way you eat, and your relationship with food can have an positive effect on multiple aspects of your life!

Nutritional coaching is an intentional exploration of food, its effect on our body and mind, and a focus how we can best nourish ourselves to gain or maintain a healthy functioning in body, mind, and spirit.

Christine Straley- Master Nutrition Therapist & Meal Plan Developer

Christine uses an approach she calls “intelligent eating for the conscious mind.” She believes that we posses an innate intelligence that guides us towards health. In today’s fast pace society we have forgotten how to trust our innate intelligence, instincts and gut. She believes we have the power to heal ourselves, and she is compelled to lead people to that understanding.

Christine works with food as the foundation to health, supplementing when appropriate. She believes in eating clean food, foods free of chemicals, additives, preservatives and foods that are genetically modified. Our beautiful earth has provided us with everything we need to sustain health and vitality. All foods found in their natural, original state are clean foods that feed the body pure health and also the foods that discourage disease and illness. She has a passion, a desire and a drive to help people heal, help people connect to their innate ability to heal themselves and help people pass that gift of healing to those they love.

Christine’s appoach involes:

  • In depth 3 to 7 day food diet diary with nutritional analysis
  • Customized menu plans including supplement recommendation and specific food recommendations that enhance the quality of one’s health and well being
  • Individualized detoxification and cleansing program that clears the body of harmful toxins and substances, which in turn provides the body a clean slate and new road to health
  • Detailed and condition specific handouts are provided as a resource to help educate as well as align one with their health goal
  • Grocery store tours provide a great insight into the many faces of food labels, genetically modified foods, packaged foods, frozen and canned goods, but also a great look at the powerful foods that offer nourishment, life and vitality
  • Recipe analysis takes a classic and favorite recipe and creates a more health conscious and clean meal
  • Conscious eating is an approach that offers insight into what is placed in ones bowl and really taking a moment to taste, touch, smell and explore the precious gift of food. This is a great time to explore mindful meditation and food journaling.
