Lifestyle Coaching - BAO Institute

What is a Holistic Lifestyle Coach?

A Holistic Lifestyle Coach (HLC) balances the body as a whole, which increases vitality, decreases stress and sculpts the body of your dreams. Each program looks in increasing detail at the underlying causes of disease and stress, considering the body as a “system of systems”. Using a coaching model, you will learn how disease and stress are preventable through healthy eating habits, lifestyle management and appropriate types of exercise.

What can I expect?

Before a meeting with Elaina you will be asked to fill out 3 in depth forms that include;

Metabolic Type Test- this will clarify how you as an individual are suppose to eat, everyone is different that is why the traditional cookie cutter diets don’t work long term for many individuals.
Stress Load Assessment – this assessment will allow me to identify which systems within you are imbalanced or inflamed, this is our starting point to identify the root of a problem or issue.
10 day food journal and lifestyle assessment – let me see how you eat, relax and live your life. This is not for me to judge you in case you had too many chips or cookies, it allows me to see where your strengths are and where your weakness’ are, from there we can create a realistic and specific action plan for you.

Once Elaina has analyzed all the necessary forms you will sit withher or have a Skype meeting to go over all results and findings then and there will a call to action plan will be drawn out that is specialized for you.

What kind of results can I expect?

I’m not sick; do I still need a coach?

No matter what your profession, you likely agree that just because someone is not sick does not mean he or she is well! Most chronic diseases take years to develop, but a healthy lifestyle can go a long way towards prevention. A holistic Lifestyle coach balances the mind, body and spirit within each individual, you may not be physically unwell but how is your mental state? Are you a negative person? Do you let your failures define who you are as an individual?
