I work with women who struggle with a chronic condition and are ready to feel good in their own skin again. You want a holistic approach with a nutrition practitioner who will really listen, offer bite-size action steps that are easy to do, and get you back to feeling rested, energetic and in control.

 

Together we’ll work to find the roots of your condition and the exact next steps to take to create healing, through diet and lifestyle changes. You’ll feel confident in your own body again, get back to yoga and even go after your big goals again.

 

In short, you’ll feel back in control of your life. You’ll know your body is strong and powerful and you aren’t your diagnosis. Just Thrive teaches you how.

 

You feel like your body has betrayed you.

 

You take care of everyone and everything around you. But, now you’ve found yourself with a diagnosis of a chronic condition and you need to focus on your own health.

 

You can’t do the things you used to do and you are frustrated. You don’t want to rely on pharmaceuticals and doctors for the rest of your life. You want to rely on YOU.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • You no longer feel heard. You feel like you are just a bunch of symptoms and test results leaving you feeling powerless and frustrated and completely reliant on someone else to tell you what to do.

 

  • You don’t even know where to begin to take care of you now, you feel stuck and frozen. You are completely overwhelmed.

 

  • You are resigning to ‘this is how it’s going to be but, you don’t really want to be reliant on pharmaceuticals for the rest of your life.

 

  • You are frustrated that you can’t be as active as you want to be. You don’t like feeling limited and like you can’t do something.

 

  • You can no longer be the one that is there for everyone else. You hate not being involved and the one others rely on.

It’s Time for a Change

Imagine waking up rested and ready to go with a clear mind and energy you haven’t felt in years. Space is carved out in the day just for you and you know exactly how you will use that time.

 

  • You eat with intention and without worry, you know what works for you and how to make it happen each day.

 

  • You are not your diagnosis, you have learned the steps to take to take care of you and thrive.

 

  • Those things you love to do? You remember what they are and you actually do them. You know what makes you shine and you are a priority.

Here’s What’s Included in Just Thrive

Just Thrive Questionnaire:

Before we begin, I need to know where you’ve been. What’s worked, what hasn’t, what are the key things you want to see change. We’ll take a look at what a typical day looks like right now, what habits you have in place, what foods you eat and what symptoms you are dealing with.

 

The more you share, the more we have to work with and build from. Your experiences are valuable pieces of information. We’ll use what’s worked for you in the past and leave the rest giving us a clear roadmap for where your body needs more support and how to give it just that.

Get Started Call:

Bring everything to this call, your excitement, your worries, your hopes and dreams. We’ll talk through your strengths, your nutritional needs, design our coaching relationship, and get laser-focused on your goals and why you want to get there. We’ll start to see what you can look and feel like when you reach those goals.

 

Coaching Sessions:

I am here for you every step of the way. I’ll be your cheerleader, but also be able to give you an outside perspective to keep you from giving up when it gets hard, and ensure you keep moving forward towards the goals you want.

Each of the 8 calls are focused on YOU and your needs right now. This isn’t a cookie-cutter approach but one tailored to where you are each and every session. Your goals and personal needs will determine our direction and you’ll know exactly what you need to work on to get you there.

Client Portal:

You’ll have access to my private client portal where we’ll be able to chat day to day and talk through what you’re eating. I’ll give you tips and encouragement and be able to share recipes, action plans and everything in between. Everything is kept in one easy-to-find place.

 

Kick-start Action Plan:

Ready to get started right away? As a bonus, I’ll give you my 4-Day Energy Challenge so you don’t have to wait for the first session to get started.  After you complete the questionnaire I’ll send it right over to you. You’ll begin your journey to feeling your best yet and get that momentum going for more.

By the end of the 3 months, you’ll have new healthy habits in place,

a new relationship with food and it will all just be part of your life.

You’ll feel good, happy and confident. You deserve it.

As a result of Just Thrive you will:

  • No longer feel like a slave to your symptoms, you can do the things you love to do and be the person you want to be without worry of a flare.

 

  • Trust your own intuition, you’ll see how the puzzle pieces have come together that led to this diagnosis so you can create an environment to heal.

 

  • Find more energy, feel more creative and focused. You’ll be able to spend time with your kids, get to yoga and and go after those big goals.

 

  • Know that nurturing you is just as important as nurturing others and when you take care of you, you can be there for those in your life you care for.

 

  • Know that healing is possible, so you can find ways to restore balance to your body and feel stronger than you have in years.

Why Work with ME?

There are two main truths I live by:

 

  1. Food is bio-individual. Diet X may be good, but it doesn’t mean it is good for you. My job is to work with you to find out what foods really nourish YOU.

 

  1. Food is EMOTIONAL. Shoot, self-care is emotional! You will fall off the wagon. Guaranteed. It’s OK! My job is not to slap your hand. My job is to help you understand why it happened and how to move forward. This is where the magic lies.

 

Health is a journey, I work with you where you are RIGHT NOW. And we work together to move forward. Where ‘forward’ is, is up to you.

 

Are you ready?

Kristi helped me kick a life-long sugar addiction, lose 10 pounds, change my whole attitude towards food, and most importantly….nearly eliminated my carpal tunnel symptoms!

Seastar Strategies

When I first thought about working with Kristi, my assumption was that she would be fine tuning my eating habits. My sense was that I ate pretty “clean.” Even though I felt that I needed sugar after lunch and dinner. And I defaulted to fast food around once a week. I also experienced a tightness or bloating in my stomach after meals frequently. But I thought that was normal. 

I was wrong.  

Today, my digestive system is nearly healed. I enjoy meals. I have confidence about what foods work for me, and I know how to eliminate my sugar cravings (still a work in progress). 

I was drawn to work with Kristi because of who she is: professional, encouraging, accepting, and knowledgeable. We started the process of transformation with evidence gathering. I took a long, but very thorough look at my eating and health habits. I never felt that it was confessional in nature to share with her, nor did I worry that the information would be used to shame or punish me. That kind of trust made it safe for me to be completely honest with myself and Kristi. 

We then started a reset eating plan and I kept close tabs on how I felt and what was working or what challenged me. During this phase, Kristi responded to my questions, requests for recipes, and overall, she was a fabulous, helpful cheerleader. 

When we met for our private sessions, she would listen to how my journey was going and then she would share briefly some helpful, nutritional information to support my ongoing progress. I read a lot about food and consider myself informed about nutrition. So, I was surprised when I found that 90% of what she shared with me was brand new and VITAL to my health. 

As I wrapped up my time with her and took the ending assessment (on how I was feeling), I was so pleased that the hard work paid off. I am, as I said, more in control of my diet and health, and I feel I know what will keep me on track. 

I highly recommend working with Kristi Brown. She is the perfect partner to collaborate with as you invest in your future, healthy self.
