Simplicity and Clarity Bring Excitement

In April 2021, I finished my year and a half-ish of study to complete my Level 1 Nutrition Coaching Certification through Precision Nutrition. It was EASILY the best investment I had made in my two decade career at the time. I enjoyed the course VERY MUCH! Aside from the agnostic approach to nutrition coaching learned, it was the approach to COACHING itself that was my most favourite part. An incredibly refreshing and relevant approach to working with people in our modern day society.

It wasn't long after that in October 2021, that Precision Nutrition announced a NEW coaching certification that is the first of it's kind;

Sleep, Stress Management and Recovery Certification

The timing for me personally was incredible as it was smack dab in the middle of the most stressful couple years of my life. Meanwhile, the world was under immense stress and uncertainty as the COVID-19 pandemic continued. There could not be a better time for this type of certification course to arrive, not to mention to have been colaborated on and created by industry professionals I greatly admire and respect (such as Dr Greg Wells, Exercise Physiologist, Author and inspiring human). I was convinced!

I got on the waitlist and was in the first group ever to dive into the program. After my amazing experience with the Nutrition Coaching certification, I was very optimistic about this program. What wasn't expected was how much MORE I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE this course!!!!

It was SO SO relevant... Probably the most impactful course EVER in my career for me personally. Timing could not have been better. It was SO EASY to relate to the material and be interested in not only how to better coach others, but myself as well.

It was do-able... Like the Nutrition Coaching certification, there's no timeline on this program. Once you're in, you're in. Do it as quickly or slowly as you'd like. The option of monthly payments made the course financially do-able (as did the nutrition certification course). I can't say enough how possible these kinds of courses are for people who have lots going on, but love to learn and grow personally and professionally.

It's DESPERATELY needed... In our "post pandemic" world, where things seem to have completely spun into 'mind-numbing chaos' on a regular basis, this approach, information and guidance is desperately needed to help myself and clients reset onto the path they choose for their deep health.

This afternoon (in early November) I made my tea, lit some sage and dove into the course. It's been nice to be back into my studies again the past couple weeks, after a few months of commitments with coaching the women's soccer program at the college.

This once again reiterates why I love PN's certification programs/courses; It's on MY time. Which means when I have the ability to FOCUS and ENJOY, I can get to it. It allows me to get the most out of my study time, rather than being on someone else's schedule that doesn't fit into my days.

The past couple weeks has allowed me to continue to progress forward and having the goal to be finished by my Christmas holidays 2023, I am now easily close enough to finish by the end of this month!!

Simplicity and Clarity

The approach and coaching methods that I have learned through Precision Nutrition's certifications is unlike anything I experienced in my nearly 23-year career. My experiences the past definitely helped without question, but the outlook and approach has been nothing short of refreshing and needed personally and professionally.

With that simplicity and clarity comes excitement;

-Excitement for the simplicity and clarity that this mindset and approach brings to my own health practices

-Excitement with the ability to NOTICE more easily what's happening around me

-Excitement and clarity that our DEEP HEALTH really isn't unattainable at all providing we simplify, trust the process and take action.

What it's also done however, is....

-Opened my eyes to the amount of times the simplicity is overlooked in our modern day society.

-Helps me see how so many of my clients and people around me can feel SO MUCH BETTER - if they put SIMPLICITY and CONSISTENCY at the forefront.

-Opened my eyes to why some unsuccessful clients in the past kept chasing their goals with minimal progress.

-Opened my eyes to how a DEEP HEALTH, PRACTICE BASED approach/mindset can be an incredibly REFRESHING, ENJOYABLE and SUCCESSFUL way to be healthy and happy.

In a relatively short time, in quite a chaotic time, it's definitely had a major impact on my personal health practices and I've been able to share that rejuvenating approach with several clients already, who have felt the same.

I can't wait to be a certified SSRC (Sleep, Stress Management and Recovery Coach) before the end of 2023, and to help bring more simple, realistic and even ENJOYABLE practices to my clients and others.
