Alexis Flanagan, CHHC
My path to a holistic approach to health and happiness unfolded as I sought to re-create my life after divorce. In my mid-thirties, I found myself seriously overweight, stressed out, overwhelmed, dissatisfied with work, and exhausted. I intuitively knew that my challenges were connected and that my health and happiness depended on learning how to address my entire person instead of isolating problem areas.
My intention to change my life led me to my own holistic health practitioner. Through the support of a highly skilled health coach, I received the information and support I needed to lose weight, have more energy than I ever have, get clear on my life goals and dreams, and watch them manifest one after the other. I was so inspired by her approach and the life-changing results of our work together that I decided to study to become a Holistic Health Coach myself.
Much of my work prior to becoming a Holistic Health Coach has been in helping professions, particularly advocating for and supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence through the healing process. I am all too familiar with the amount of personal energy that is used doing this work, and equally familiar with how easy it is, when caring for others, to forget to take time to care for Self. I particularly enjoy supporting those who help others heal in finding health, happiness and balance in their own lives.
I received my training to practice Holistic Health Coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods. I am a Board Certified and Accredited Member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).
