Work with me on what matters most to you

 Do you feel like you are always thinking about food?  Does stress or boredom lead you to the fridge?  Do you feeling guilty or bad about yourself after eating? Are you always needing to get "back  on track"? We’ve been conditioned to believe that others know what we should & shouldn’t eat, how much and how often. That we can't trust ourselves around food or that food is either "good" or "bad". How much time you spend just thinking about food and eating? It’s exhausting! Work with me, regain  trust in yourself and enjoy eating again!   

 Getting older comes with a lot of changes. You may be experiencing joint pain or stiffness, changes in energy levels, reduced flexibility, and decreased strength. Maybe the activities you’ve always done don’t quite work for you anymore. That doesn’t mean you have to stop being active. Explore enjoyable ways to achieve your fitness goals to stay active, fit and energized for years to come. 

Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia. Did you know there are over 35 symptoms associated with menopause?  Most women are given very little information on this time in our lives, even though we spend decades going through it! The peri- and post-menopausal years are a time for a lot of changes, but also a time of transformation and growth. Learn to manage the symptoms and unlock the possibilities for this chapter in your life.

You do it all…have a career, take care of family,   pets, and your home. Each day comes with a long list of things to be done and places to be, but at the end of the day, do you feel like you’ve accomplished anything? And where do you fall on that list? My guess is that you’re somewhere near the bottom. Stress is inevitable but chronic stress can take a significant toll on your health. Let’s look at where you can reclaim balance in your life and replace busy-ness and burnout with satisfaction and ease.

How long does it take to make or break a habit? There are lots of theories on this, but it really depends several things, including what the habit is and how long you've been doing it.  The good news is you can re-program your brain and develop healthy lifestyle habits. Whether you want to improve your sleep, start a mindfulness practice, reduce alcohol consumption, quit smoking or make time for exercise, I'll help you develop new habits that will last a lifetime. 

You don't have to do it alone. As your accountability partner I will  provide support every step of the way. I'll help you stay motivated, challenge limiting beliefs, plan for obstacles, and stay on track to achieve your health and fitness goals.

 I had four sessions with Pam McGovern. It's amazing what you can discover about yourself in that short amount of time with the right health coach. Pam was very easy to connect with conversationally, which enabled me to respond openly and without any worry about being judged. Pam also would reflect back to me things that I had said, and it's as if she could pick out the positives of my situation--although I had mainly focused on my negatives. By our 4th session, I could see pretty clearly that I have a habit of feeling a need to tell my shortcomings--even though realistically I had done very well on agreed upon assignments. Overall, it truly felt wonderful to have someone help me on my health journey by helping me crystallize steps I should take, and then CARE about my successes. Thank you Pam!

 Pam  is a kind and passionate coach who will help you work through barriers towards your health goals.  She helped me recognize the imposter syndrome I was feeling in a new career path was not a valid reason to give up on my desire to help others.  She also helped me work through sleep issues I was having which is a common problem for post menopausal  women.  I highly recommend her for compassionate guidance.

 Even  coaches need coaches! Pam is an excellent health coach. I was having a  hard time committing to my goals and would go into my coaching calls  feeling like I wasn't doing well. Pam used her excellent coaching skills  and strategies to help me see the good in what I had done, explore my  challenges, and come up with realistic ways to keep moving forward. As a  fellow coach, I knew when she was using coaching tools in our  conversations and I usually get stuck in my "coach mindset"  when this happens. But Pam was able to get me engaged in my own journey  instead and helped me make progress. Not many coaches can do this for  me. I highly recommend her as a health coach!
