Janet McKeehan-Medina

I lost over 100 pounds and have kept it off. I will give you the skills you need to attain your ideal comfortable weight. Your ideal weight is the weight your body naturally settles into when you’re nourishing it with mostly whole foods, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, and leaving room to occasionally indulge in a mindful manner.

I offer a complimentary phone consultation and provide a non-judgmental space for my clients to speak. The goal is to become more in tune with your body, love and accept the skin you are in, and befriend your inner critical voice. I also provide mindful eating workshops.

IS THIS YOU?
Tired of feeling guilty after eating?
Sick of dieting?
Tired of not liking the body you are in?
Mindless eating taking over your life?
Do you want to feel relaxed and free around food?
Do you want your inner critic to ease up on you?

Try private coaching for your health goals.

I will give you the skills you need to attain your ideal comfortable weight, whatever it might be. Your ideal weight is the weight your body naturally settles into when you’re nourishing it with mostly whole foods, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, and leaving room to occasionally indulge in a mindful manner. If you’re currently above your ideal weight, as is often the case for those that struggle with stress eating, this program may help you lose weight over time. On the other hand, if you’ve been on a low calorie diet for a long time, you may gain weight to reach your ideal weight.

The goal is to become more in tune with your body, love and accept the skin you are in, and befriend your inner critical voice.
