Is Health Coaching For Me?

My approach blends my fifteen year career in nursing with my training and certification as an Integrative Nutrition Coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City. Integrative Nutrition is founded on the concept of bio-individuality, or the unique circumstances affecting a person’s overall health and wellness at any given stage of life. Integrative Nutrition addresses eight fundamental elements - nutrition, physical activity, physical environment, professional life, relationships, finances, playtime and spirituality - to holistically bring the body into balance. Integrative Nutrition is about reaching into the depths to bring one’s unique skills, strengths and wisdom to the surface. We look at the body as a perfectly functioning organism, capable of miraculously healing itself when provided with optimal conditions. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

The program IS for you if you are willing to go there, to take an honest look at yourself, and face all that you see with love and a willingness to change from your core. Yes, we will go deep. I will encourage you to introspect, reflect and reach your comfortable edge. And, I will be right there supporting you every step of the way.

This program is NOT for you if you aim to focus primarily on counting calories, weight loss and exercise. To address these specific goals, I recommend directing your search towards a Registered Dietitian and/or Fitness Expert in your area.

The Sky is the limit….

Testimonials

It has been truly wonderful working with Abbie Burke during her six month Health Coaching program. I was seeking help with my overall health as I was recovering from open heart surgery and have had some hormonal imbalances that led to weight gain. Abbie brought not only her decade long clinical experience as a Nurse Practitioner in both Family Practice and Internal Medicine, but also the ability to gently but firmly guide me on my path. She is a passionate life-long learner of health and the various ways of helping and supporting others. I found that working with Abbie was not only helpful in terms of the medical side of things, but also in elevating my mental and emotional well-being. During our meetings she was always very attentive, listened to me carefully and asked questions expertly. I felt that she cared for my well-being and truly was working hard to find answers and protocols for my healing. By the end of the program, I was able to understand more about my cardiovascular health, and I lost weight as I explored and improved upon the effects of my imbalanced hormones. I gained knowledge on nutrition, mindfulness practices, and a holistic approach to the interconnectedness of all systems in our bodies and minds. Abbie was very personable and approachable yet very professional. I truly enjoyed our work together as I feel I came away with not only a temporary solution but rather with a sustainable one I can follow for years to come. I firmly believe that we all need to become our own informed health advocates for a happy, healthy and long life, and Abbie’s program gave me just that. I know now the signs of my body to pay attention to, the questions to ask, and where to turn for answers. However, I am also sure I will circle back to work with her in the future for some fine-tuning here and there as I know she will always have some new and truly beneficial advice.
