Meet Coach Sheila

---

Most people know me as the “UN-Diet Coach” I teach women to FINALLY stop dieting and instead develop an effortless relationship with food and their bodies for a lifetime of optimized health and wellness – despite chronic health challenges or their age!

But what you may not know about me is that at one point not too long ago, I was one meatball sub away from morbidly obese. And my doctors were of no use AT ALL! I was severely diabetic, struggled with a spinal condition that had me in and out of an electric wheelchair, and had out of control inflammation from various autoimmune conditions. I was a wreck. 

The wakeup call was when my doctors shrugged and threw up their hands, telling me that they did not expect me to have much of fulfilling or lengthy life – and forget losing weight!  I was on my own. 

So I decided not to accept the diminished life they’d planned out for me, and I began what ended up being a very long, very expensive, very stressful journey to find a holistic solution for myself. I had to find out how to get control of my body – and my life – again. It took many years of work and research, reeducation, and dedication to discovering the secrets to the health and life I was being denied, simply because I did not meet my doctor’s standards of the conventional “diet” wisdom of the times. 

On this journey, I’ve learned that: doctors (and the massive diet industry) don’t have all the answers!  Making a lasting transformation was not going to happen by listening to their food fables and stale science, full of shame and blame --- and no results! If that worked, we’d ALL be thin and healthy by now, right? And the diet industry is BUILT on making repeat customers! 

What I learned is that ultimately, it’s not so much about what’s on my plate – it’s in my head! I had to Reboot and RELEARN how my body REALLY works and take a mind-body approach that transformed me from my head-down.

This is why I do what I do! Because too many women who suffer with chronic illness and nagging health issues are perpetually, hopelessly dieting with no lasting results or real healing. So I help them reboot and relearn how their bodies REALLY work and develop instead an effortless relationship with food and their bodies for a lifetime of optimized health and wellness. My passion is to empower women of every age and ability level to thrive and make authentic choices and to live vibrantly with purpose and confidence.
