What’s coaching?

Coaching is an action-oriented partnership that concentrates on both where you are today and what steps are necessary to change habits and negative behavior patterns. A coach supports you toward your desired goals by listening, guiding and offering strategies and options for change. You will become more comfortable and content with yourself as you create new possibilities in your life.

How is this group structured?

This weekly coaching group is designed for Christian women and men, who struggle with weight, food and body image issues. Although at different life stages, they all share the desire to change their relationship with themselves and with food. These weekly educational and scripture based groups will help you learn to live your goals and inspire your dreams.

Our mission is to partner with you to create the life you desire as you hold tightly to your vision, embrace all parts of yourself (even those parts you feel are undesirable) and learn how to love yourself and your body the way God loves you.

Why a Christian coaching group and what does that have to do with eating, weight and body image issues?

God wants you to thrive.

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for evil, to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Sometimes it's difficult to see God's plan for your life from your own perspective. This is especially true when you’re bound to earthly rules of what you can and cannot eat or how you should look.

Topics explored:

• Overcome mindsets that hold you back.
• Discover your true self.
• See yourself through God's eyes.
• Uncover God's plan for your eating. No diets. No good foods or bad foods.
• Learn true well-being in Christ by becoming intentional with your food, relationships and life.

How does coaching work?

For starters, coaching will allow you to work in a group by phone from home or work - even while you're traveling! Telephone-based weekly meetings accomplish group interaction and effective support. In 90 minute sessions, you will discuss areas of concern with your coaches and other group members, learn new tools for making changes and take on actions to be completed between calls. Your coaching group can help you stay accountable for the changes you choose to make.

When are the weekly phone meetings?
