Lori believes that we hold onto weight as protection. The first steps in creating alignment in our bodies is to support healing, eliminate negative self talk and support finding our true authentic self.

About Lori

I am a spiritual health coach and registered nurse, and I have studied nutrition and alternative medicine. I help women lose weight and live a life with purpose and passion. I quit my job as a registered nurse because I was not allowed to use alternative methods. I had guidelines to follow I didn't agree with, like selling diet shakes and drugs for example.

How did you become a health coach?

Lori was interested in health and had an understanding of nutrition before training to be a nurse. She believed that this would allow her to support patients to the best of her abilities. Whilst she achieved great results she was both disappointed and shocked to be told by her bosses that she had to follow very tight protocols that including promoting supplements and diet shakes.

Soon after Lori left to pursue a career in nutrition proper and feels she can now fully support clients in the way she was meant to.

What would you do to improve the knowledge of doctors and nurses?

The medical profession get little or no training in food and nutrition. And in Lori's case this was all funded by big organisations and was not very balanced. She would like to see a shake up of the training to include elements of nutrition and emotional support, so that they are looking for the route cause of the problem, not just treating the symptoms.

When working with Lori her focus is on mindset. She believes that our body is holding onto weight for a reason, it's a shield and protection. After reading Deepak Chopra's book Perfect Health she realised that the mind and the body is connected and you can't work on one without the other. And this is the key to alignment

The final part of the journey to weight loss is the nutrition element. So although she is a weight loss coach it is so much more than just nutrition and food.

Feeling the energy and vibrancy of food

One of the key parts of Lori's work is encouraging client to create their own meal plans and understanding what food is fuelling our body. Her emphasis is on plant based whole foods, but she asks us all to walk round our local shops and start to feel the vibrancy of food.

If we pick up food and really connect with how it makes us feel, what it smells like and the external weight of the food. Then we will start to really understand how food makes us feel and how it fuels us both emotionally and physically.

This is how we create alignment and weight loss is a happy accident.
