Holistic Health Coaching
Transform your state. Transform your life
True transformation begins when you learn to calm your nervous system and align your daily choices with who you really are.
​
True transformation doesn’t begin with willpower — it begins with your nervous system.
When the mind is calm and the body feels safe, change becomes not only possible… but sustainable.
Holistic Health Coaching helps you bridge the gap between what you know and what you live every day.
Through a whole-person approach grounded in nervous system regulation, intentional habit change, and lifestyle alignment, you’ll finally embody the wellbeing you’ve been reaching for.
​
Rooted in Chopra’s Total Well-Being Coaching methodology and informed by neuroscience, Ayurveda, breathwork, and behavioral psychology, your coaching journey integrates mind, body, purpose, and physiology.
My approach supports the two foundational pillars of chronic disease prevention:
• Calming the sympathetic overarousal driving stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
• Reducing the chronic inflammation that silently contributes to fatigue, pain, and burnout
​
Every Take 5 offering — from coaching to hypnotherapy to your full Studio access — is designed to support your body’s natural ability to heal by promoting parasympathetic tone, resilience, and emotional clarity.
What We Work On
We explore the five dimensions of transformation that shape your lived experience:
​​​
STATE
Regulate your nervous system so your body stops interpreting everyday life as a threat.
​
EXPERIENCE
Shift the way you move through your days — from reactive to grounded, from scattered to centered.
​
BELIEFS
Rewire the internal narratives that quietly sabotage your growth.
​
BEHAVIORS
Create sustainable habits that support energy, sleep, nourishment, self-trust, and emotional well-being.
​
HEALTH
Support the lifestyle foundations that reduce inflammation and promote long-term vitality.
Whether your intention is stress relief, better sleep, deeper self-compassion, or reconnecting with purpose, we identify what’s keeping you stuck and gently guide you toward a calmer, clearer way of living.
The Gap Between Knowing and Being
You've read the books, downloaded the apps, maybe even perfected a morning routine (on the good days).
And still — something feels off.
​
That’s because knowing about wellbeing isn’t the same as embodying it.
What you’re craving isn’t more information.
You’re craving integration — the moment your nervous system, behaviors, mindset, and purpose finally align.
​
This is where the real transformation happens.
​
You’re ready for an intuitive guide who can help you bridge the gap between what you understand in your mind… and what you feel in your body and express in your life.

Coaching may be for you if
tress or anxiety feel like your default setting
-
You keep “pushing through” but your mind and body are asking for more
• You’re caregiving, building a career, and wondering when you get to breathe
• You know what to do — you just can’t seem to sustain it
• You feel stuck, numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself
​You are not failing. Your nervous system is tired.
And together, we can change that.
How it works
We meet weekly or bi-weekly
-
For 3-6 months — (long enough for real transformation, short enough to keep momentum)
-
50-60 min each (I ask you to book a full hour because sometimes life, emotions, or breakthroughs need a little more space)
-
Your pace, your schedule (because adding pressure defeats the purpose)
​
​
Beyond symptom managment
this isn't about coping
-
It’s about regulating your nervous system so your mind and body work with you, not against you.
-
Learn practices that work whether you’re in a boardroom, a classroom, a waiting room, or a school pickup line.
Shift from:
How do I get through today?
to
“How do I create a life I actually enjoy living?

FAQs (the Honest Questions)
Is it like therapy?
No. Therapy processes the past. Holistic health coaching focuses on behavior change, lifestyle foundations, and the present-to-future transformation. Many clients do both.
What if I don't have a specific goal?
“Something needs to shift, but I don’t know what” is a perfect place to start. We uncover the deeper wisdom together.
I've tried everything - why this?
Because something inside you knows you’re ready. Trust the part of you that led you here.
​
How much does it cost?
$2,000 for 12 private 1:1 sessions + full Take 5 Studio membership — one of the most comprehensive, value-rich coaching packages available in Fresno and online. Payment plans are available.
