About Me
My name is Josiane, and I’ve spent a large part of my career in business valuation. Despite my enduring interest in this field, I felt that something was missing for me to truly thrive and find my calling. The stress I put on myself at work was taking a toll on me physically and mentally: I lacked motivation, suffered from back pain, and was frequently sick during my vacations.
In order to take a step back, refocus, and be more in tune with my body, I decided to take a few sabbaticals:
Three months in 2017
Four months in 2019
A full year in 2020, with a two-and-a-half-month break to support my team
It was over the past year that I enrolled in a holistic health coaching program with ADAPT, led by Chris Kresser, a recognized expert in functional medicine. Initially drawn to his field of expertise, I discovered a true passion for coaching and supporting people through their personal transformations.
What I learned during my sabbaticals:
The benefits of daily stress management practices such as meditation, qigong, and yoga
The Importance of Taking Charge of Your Own Health
The Benefits of Disconnecting from Technology to Reconnect with Nature
The need to reconnect with oneself, one's values, and priorities
Certification
After earning my A-CFHC (ADAPT Certified Functional Health Coach) certification, I decided to take the plunge and start my own coaching practice.
I also earned my HCA-LHC (Health Coach Alliance Licensed Health Coach) certification in order to join an organization of professional nutritionists and coaches who, like me, are committed to the health and well-being of their clients. This organization also ensures that its members are qualified and trustworthy, that they act with integrity within their field of expertise, and that they adhere to a rigorous code of ethics.
